The Challenge

The Problem We're Solving

"Do, Reflect, and Think and Apply"

— Butler et al., 2019

E-bike injuries among young Australians have surged 3,000% in five years. Thirty children lost their lives across NSW, QLD and VIC in 2025/26 alone.


Traditional road safety messaging has not kept pace. Lectures and worksheets trigger the brain's autopilot. Students disengage, and the message is gone before they leave the room.


The window to reach young people is now. And the approach must be radically different.

Students step into a fully staged, immersive crash scene — lights flashing, sirens sounding, hundreds of real evidence items demanding analysis. They are investigators, not passengers.


Because the experience is emotional, hands-on and socially charged, it activates the brain at its highest level — moving students from routine into curiosity, collaboration, and deep focus. And because the experience stays with them, so does the learning.

Students identify road rule infringement and compounding factors

Bike Helmet

Examine the condition and proximity to the rider

Was the strap closed? Worn at time of crash, or attached to the bike?

Students determine the answer from physical evidence alone

Witness Interview

Students conduct a live interview at the scene

Confirm or challenge physical evidence through testimony

Develop empathy and understanding of trauma experienced by witnesses

Tyre Skid Patterns

Apply collision investigation techniques to tyre evidence

Front vs rear tyre science, critical thinking under pressure

Understand why an e-bike is far harder to control than a pushbike

Contributing Factors

Were headphones connected? Did this reduce environmental awareness?

Was the phone active at time of collision? What apps were open?

Were they a delivery driver — rushing with hot food on board?

Accident & Death Report

Students complete a Police/Coroner-style investigation report

The weight of an official report creates a lasting real-world impact

Risk Feels Real

PDHPE: PD4/PD5 — Risky Behaviour outcomes

Teenagers tune out lectures. Placed inside a story showing how a split-second decision leads to injury or death, emotion drives memory — and memory drives behaviour change.

Authority Meets Relatability

With experience in both policing and education, Luke doesn't just tell rules — he translates real-world consequences into something students genuinely feel.

The message shifts from "you'll get in trouble" to "this could end a life." That is a fundamentally stronger motivator for risk-taking adolescents.

Prevention, Not Punishment

Scalable & Curriculum-Ready

Reaching thousands of students across multiple states, with assessment tasks mapped to every NSW school. Adaptable for mainstream, disability and gifted cohorts.

A Day at Your School

What Your School Day Looks Like

Two sessions, two crash scenes each, a full week's worth of coverage, and a curriculum-aligned assessment baked into every session.

2 Sessions Per Day

Each day runs two sessions of 2 hours, plus an assessment task — a simple, repeatable structure that scales across a full week.

2 Crash Scenes Per Session

Each session features two accident scenes running simultaneously, with each scene catering to 30 students.

120 Students Per Day

60 students per session × 2 sessions = 120 students per day, meaning an average high school (Years 7–10) can be catered for within a week.

Curriculum-Aligned Assessment

Every session includes a fully compliant 2027 PDHPE and Science curriculum-aligned assessment task, with marking rubric and grading specific to Stage 4 and 5.
