YEAR 12 students from Noosa District State High School were given a close up view of road trauma this week, with a life-like traffic crash simulation.
Schoolies Week is on the horizon and the simulation proved a timely reminder for NDSHS students to take care on the road.
The simulation included emergency response crews from ambulance, police, fire service and undertaker who all took part in the confronting event.
NDSHS teacher and Queensland Fire and Rescue volunteer, Brad Ensbey, talked the students through the simulation – driving home the road safety message.
“We don’t do this to scare the students,” he said.
“We’re trying to show them what really happens – the truth.”
Four Year 12 drama students did an amazing job acting as the driver and passengers of the crashed vehicle, with make-up used to create life-like cuts and bruises.
