School Programs
myDRIVESCHOOL® programs are aligned to the Australian Curriculum, and are an ideal way to engage and educate students about road safety, in a fun, safe & controlled environment. Let students make mistakes online – NOT on road.
Ideal for all schools
Private, Independent, Government, Boarding and Specialist Schools.
Why? Swimming training versus driver training.
The statistics speak for themselves, more training is needed when it comes to driver training. Early intervention is the key to reducing these horrific statistics.

The myDRIVESCHOOL® Pre-Learner Program is suitable for Years 9 – 11
myDRIVESCHOOL® is aligned to the curriculum in wellbeing, maths, science and PE.
myDRIVESCHOOL® programs have been designed for multiple users to learn simultaneously – ideally in a classroom environment.
Each individual user logs in with their Login credentials, and every student can complete the course (3 modules = 45-60mins) in one lesson.
myDRIVESCHOOL® is an ideal activity for boarders, who can use the program at their leisure and regularly.

What Our Teachers Say
“As a teacher I think that mDS is a fantastic resource. It simulates actual driving situations that allow students to practise skills before they get into a vehicle.”
Maria Russel, Teacher“As someone who is passionate about road safety ( a former defensive driving instructor). I was interested in mDS for students at my school as it facilitates key skills and coordination in a safe environment before stepping into a vehicle. Also, importantly, it provides an avenue for parents and family members to have open and engaged discussions about road safety and skill competency.”
Ivanhoe Grammer“the mDS program was presented to a group of 15 Berendale students – ranging from Year 9 – 12. The students were engaged and enjoyed the program, and we have installed two (2) permanent stations for the students to continue their simulation training on site. The program provided realistic demonstration of the cognitive skills required to drive, and with the graduated modules allows the students to learn at their own pace. I would recommend the mDS program to any students to develop an important ‘life skill” in a fun and engaging way.”
