Street Smart High

Teacher testimonials
RAA in South Australia have been running this important event for over 10 years. This is what some of the teachers say about Street Smart High.
Cathy Miegel, Lameroo Regional Community School
"We could never organise something of this magnitude and impact for our students."
Alana Briel, Portside Christian College
"It makes students think twice about safety while driving a car."
Peter Pritchard,
Norwood Morialta High school
“In a nutshell, Street Smart would have to have been one of the most worthwhile learning experiences that I have witnessed in my 28 years as a teacher. The quality of the demonstrations and the impact of the personal testaments were powerful. The message was clear - the driver is
responsible for his/her actions and that choices can be made. “
