Naracoorte driving instructor helps improve Penola students’ road safety

PENOLA High School students have improved their road safety thanks to driving lessons offered by Naracoorte driving instructor Robert Black.

PENOLA High School students have improved their road safety thanks to driving lessons offered by Naracoorte driving instructor Robert Black.

Students are required to complete a Learner Driving log book as well as 75 hours of driving time before taking a final drive and test in order to obtain a provisional driver’s license.

Mr Black has attended Penola High School on a weekly basis during term three, working with 30 students.

Each lesson consists of specific driving tasks which form a part of the log book assessment.

These assessments can only be signed off by a qualified driving instructor.

The course would not be possibly without the help of Mr Black in addition to the Stand Like Stone Foundation for a $5000 grant received to subsidise this program.
