The Waikato RoadSense Facilitator Linda Fraser to organise three separate workshops with Barbara Wenn (ICT Facilitator) introducing teachers to an Inquiry Process Model using their school's road safety scenario which is causing barriers to achieving their school's improved road safety culture.

Dates: 14 May; 20 June and 30 July. Time: 9.00 a.m. - 3.00 p.m. Venue: Fairfield Primary School - ICT Centre.

__Objectives:__ 2. To review their school RoadSense snap shot of their school road safety culture. 3. To take one barrier from either - school environment, school community, classroom, wider community, to and from school and/or sustainable transport; and to produce an action plan to be used in their schools. 4. To plan an Inquiry Learning Model which can be used in their schools with bringing their students, staff and community on board with creatively solving their school's safety barriers. 5. To introduce the possibility of providing each school with $300 for students to identify a marketing product that will best advertise the key idea behind their road safety initiative. Preferably this product will be 'student' created. 6. Facilitators to set up a Wikispace to enable teachers to glean resources, network with other RoadSense schools and share their journey.
 *  1. For each school to identify and share their school's road safety culture 'reality' and their barriers to achieving their goals in one area.

Funding to Schools will need to be drawn down on a school by school basis. Release of the funds is subject to proof that all of the funds requested have been expended directly on raising awareness of the issue of road safety at the school gates and the relevant expenditure receipts together with a copy or example of the item produced. The Trust is keen to ensure that the items produced are relevant to road safety and prior to any promotional expenditure, clearance will need to be sought by the RoadSense Facilitator from the Trust.

Linda Fraser, Waikato RoadSense Facilitator and Educating New Zealand are most appreciative of the support given to this RoadSense Cluster for the above Road Safety Initiative for Students. Special thanks to Barbara Wenn for sharing her skills, strategies, resources and knowledge. We look forward to sharing and working alongside schools with raising their road safety cultures.
