The Gold Coast Blaze have teamed up with the BRAKE Driver Awareness Program to be involved in a new video which BRAKE will use throughout schools to help reduce the numbers of deaths and injury of young drivers.
The BRAKE Driver Awareness Program Distance Education Mode won the Innovation category at the 2009 Queensland Road Safety Awards.
The Brake Driver Awareness Course has been formally recognised by the Queensland Studies Authority through awarding students one QCE point when they successfully complete the eight part Brake course. Last year more than 500 students boosted their academic entry scores. Brake now has over 50 schools participating in the innovative Driver Education courses.
At a recent presentation ceremony, Colin Nelson, Chairman of the Logan Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank confirmed that BRAKE had been awarded a grant of $40,000 dollars from the bank. Mr Nelson is a Tamborine Mountain resident.
