The Safety School Experience

The Constable Care Safety School is a best-practice excursion destination for children aged 4-12 years. It includes a purpose-built classroom complex and a realistic layout of Perth's streets that provides students with a hands-on opportunity to learn vital pedestrian, bicycle and public transport travel safety skills. Featuring cutting-edge augmented reality in a simulated-risk environment, the Constable Care Safety School provides an exciting excursion opportunity for primary schools that links directly to WA curriculum.

At the Constable Care Safety School children practise dealing with road and transport hazards in a safe and realistic urban environment. Based on the best-practice education principle of learning through play, students have the opportunity to apply the road safety knowledge they have been taught in the classroom within the fully functioning Safety School layout. This includes:

working rail crossings

pedestrian crossings

a school zone with "kiss & drive"

functioning traffic lights that can sense approaching bike riders

real roads and shared paths, with scale buildings

even a bus stop and train station (with a full size train and bus!)

Students navigate the Safety School as both cyclists and pedestrians. Bikes and helmets are all supplied, and the pedestrian experience uses our iPad minis and a purpose-designed augmented reality application to allow students to interact with and solve realistic road and transport hazards throughout the environment. This experiential learning technique ensures students are fully engaged with the learning activity and helps them retain key messages that are not just important but potentially life saving.
