Rail Awareness & Safety Education

Metro provides rail safety education for schools and communities across greater metropolitan Melbourne. Sessions help to build the skills, awareness and confidence of students and community members to stay safe around trains, tracks and stations.

We offer no-cost sessions in schools for students from year 1 to year 9, along with rail safety sessions and travel training for community groups. We can also arrange sessions prior to school excursions.

Sessions are available between 8:30am and 3.30pm Monday to Thursday and cover topics related to:

• Platform and train safety
• Safe use of rail crossings
• Journey planning
• Tickets and concessions
• Laws and traveling behaviours
• Role of an Authorised Officer

Metro promotes the use of PTV’s Public Transport Teachers Hub and TrackSAFE’s Learning Resource Centre where curriculum based lessons can further educate students on safe travel.

Please allow up to 5 business days for processing.
