Students will learn about the different forms of public transport that are available in our community and how to access them.
Students will start by travelling in the local community on foot, where they will learn about mapping, road safety and what actions they can take to look after their personal safety.
The lessons will extend to students planning journeys on buses into the wider community, locating and interpreting timetables and considering what is required to remain safe when travelling on this form of transport.
The behaviours expected when travelling on public transport and visiting shopping centres, libraries and other places in the community will be explicitly taught and practiced consistently across the unit.
The subject also provides the students the opportunity to learn to use money in a real world context, and how they can access facilities within the community.
