The Bus Safety Program reflects NRMA Insurance's purpose as A Help Company, delivering practical safety education that helps create safer journeys for regional school communities.
Through the bus safety program children learn to:
· Always stand two steps back from the kerb when waiting for the bus;
· Never push or shove each other or muck around at the bus stop;
· Wait for the bus to stop completely before getting on or off;
· Wait for the bus to move away from the kerb before you cross the road;
· Tell the driver straight away if you miss your stop;
· Discuss with a parent, carer or guardian who is a 'safe adult'; and
· Ask a parent, carer or guardian to write your home phone number on the inside of your bag.
Approximately 2,000 students will participate in NRMA Insurance's Bus Safety Program this year, taking place from 23 February to 9 March.
