Auckland Transport News: SADD Week 2011
Schools get involved IN SADD Week 2011 Westlake Boys create winning poster campaign SADD Week 2011 was held throughout New Zealand in mind August (8th-14th). This timing was very appropriate given the introduction of the Zero limit for drivers under 20 regulations during 2011. Local schools got very involved by organising SADD activities in their schools. Some of the activities were; Fatal Vision Demonstration, Dead day and Quiz day. Organisers of the initiative report that our very own Westlake Boys High School’s SADD leaders did very well by organising a poster competition for SADD week. The team from Auckland Transport’s Community Transport North division selected this ‘It’s In Your Hand’s’ poster as the winning poster for the region. “This poster speaks a thousand words. It’s a clear road safety message and this was done by SADD students for students,” said Angie Chong, Auckland Transport Community Road Safety Coordinator-North, who is based in Takapuna. “These posters created were placed in strategic places in their school to remind all students who are driving that IT’S IN YOUR HANDS are you SADD?” The team of Westlake Boys students behind this great work were John Hugo McGrath, Jack Kang, Jiyong Wi, Sam Wyborn, Abhishek Khelrapal and Mikal Sarrafzadeh. They received a certificate of appreciation from Angie Cheong, on behalf of Auckland Transport, for their contribution towards road safety.
