The second Right Track Dance Party took place on Friday 18 March at Gosnells PCYC and this time we were joined by a special guest! Rail Safety Ambassador Jonathan Beninca who is in Perth to deliver rail safety presentations to young people in the area, also attended on the night. Not only did Jonathan speak to the youth about the importance of staying safe on and around public transport and the consequences of risk taking behaviour, he also got involved with some of the games and activities – which included choosing the best boy and girl dancer on the night.

Summer is approaching and the school holidays are not so far away, so you’re bound to be looking forward to hanging out with friends, making plans and having lots of fun.

When you’re with your friends, it can often seem easier to make a bad decision because that’s what everyone else in your group is doing, rather than to stand up and say that something is wrong.  A bad decision could be that you take a short cut by crossing the train tracks or decide to graffiti at the station because you’re bored. As rail safety ambassador Jonathan Beninca would say “a good friend is someone who will tell you when you’re doing something wrong” and a “good friend will look out for you”.
