We are excited to be running a free parent evening in Balclutha next week, 13th of August.

Free workshop for people teaching teens to drive

If you are teaching a young person to drive or are about to don't miss this free workshop in Balclutha on Tuesday 13th August.

We will:

• Unlock the mysteries of the teenage brain: What makes driving a challenge?
• Decode risk factors for young drivers
• Learn the art of coaching a learner driver
• Help you support the transition to solo driving
• Set a plan for collaborating with driving Instructors
• And much more.

Drive Coach is a practical workshop which updates parents on latest research and road safety approaches, outlines some of the conversations our facilitators have with their children at RYDA and gives them an opportunity to ask questions and get advice from the experts. Drive Coach is routinely organised by a school or community group, generally in conjunction with a RYDA programme being held in the area.  Your school has recently attended RYDA so we don't want your parents to miss the opportunity to be involved.

Please forward this email to your school community and feel free to post this on your Facebook page as well.  We have attached a flyer with more information and also go to our website for more information:
