Stop in Your Tracks
Designed to improve awareness of the impact of risk-taking behaviours around the rail network and to improve safety, we have collaborated with our Principal Partner, Constable Care Foundation, to develop a rail safety program targeted at upper primary and secondary school students.
Stop in Your Tracks is a dynamic, interactive program that uses real-life scenarios in an incursion format offered to schools. Through storytelling and Forum Theatre techniques, students are empowered to explore the impact of their choices and build resilience in the face of peer pressure and everyday challenges.
The program facilitators invite students to become “spect-actors,” stepping into the story to reimagine decisions and outcomes. This immersive approach encourages empathy, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving, helping students identify safer pathways in their own lives.
Each incursion is supported with a suite of in-class resources which can be used by teachers to engage their students in rail safety messages before, on the day of, and after the Constable Care incursion.

Rail Safety Week
competition
Each year Arc participates in Rail Safety Week, an annual community awareness week held in August design to engage the community in safe rail practices.
To promote Rail Safety Week, Arc Infrastructure offers the opportunity for primary schools to enter to win a free excursion with our community partner, the Constable Care Safety School. The Safety School enables children to explore real-life transport risks and practice road, rail, pedestrian, bike and public transport safety skills in a safe, realistic urban environment.
To be notified when the next Rail Safety Week competition opens, please sign up to our newsletter using the form at the bottom of the page.
