A new seven-part video series supports School Traffic Safety Team training. This covers school patrols, school wardens and bus wardens. The videos are hosted on the Education Portal website and replace an older DVD series.
The videos are published by the NZ Transport Agency in partnership with the New Zealand Police.
Police officers will use these videos when training your students. The videos represent current school patrol protocols and may be used to promote involvement to students or family and whānau.
