Changing how students think about safety

Did you know your ride helps improve safety for all road users? Funds raised through the Bass Coast Cycle challenge go toward running game changing RYDA workshops in schools across Bass Coast and South Gippsland.  

Thanks to all who have ridden in the BCCC since 2010, over 3000 students from South Gippsland the Bass Coast regions have had access to intensive road safety education courses which work towards saving lives on our roads.  

The interactive workshops challenge senior high school students to change the way they think about road safety. The workshops give students a unique opportunity to learn essential life skills, at a critical time. Whether driving, or travelling as a passenger, or cycling, or walking, RYDA sessions give student the tools and strategies they need to make good choices when on the road.  

“These programs are an important step for the Bass Coast and South Gippsland regions, which can now boast to have dedicated education programs which support not only our children but also educates parents … all aimed at reducing the road toll.” Said Principal, Wonthaggi Secondary College, one of many schools which have participated in he RYDA workshops thanks to our BCCC riders.
