Page 4 - I AM FOR ZERO BOOKLET

Course Foundation

The I AM FOR ZERO course was initiated after direction was given follow-

ing a tragic accident within our community in 2016.

There is a call for a drastic and urgent culture change regarding our com-
munity’s driving behaviour, habits and mindset.

The course was designed for OneSchool Schools in AU as a classroom

based program, including facts, videos and simple activities to support
and illustrate the presentation. The course is not about improving driv-

ing and vehicle control skills. The trainers focus on the cognitive skills
and choices drivers make, such as driving while impaired by alcohol,

drugs and fatigue, and driving while being distracted. The aim is to
encourage positive attitudes and behaviours in young drivers, which will

lead to a safe future rather than tragedies.

As the training is interactive it works best in smaller groups of 18, there-

fore students may be split up as needed.

Using the planned structure and method to roll the program out really
addresses more than one issue;

• Y ear 10 Students receive the course in a structured and accountable
fashion.

• Community involvement is increased

• Community ambassadors (Champions) are created in each campus

• The I AM FOR ZERO culture begins to grow with the respected

influence of community champions and support members.
