This year's meeting was comprised of two workshop sessions which included: "Preparing for the Worst: Accident Reporting Practices for Drivers" and "Solutions to School Bus Behaviour: Student Management Techniques." On hand to assist with our student management workshop was Mr. Peter Onstein, Vice-Principal at Tagwi Secondary School, who shared his expertise in student management techniques with our team of drivers.
