This injury prevention program is open to students in years 10 to 12 in all government and non-government high schools in NSW and the ACT. The Forum is held at the Acer Arena, Olympic Park, Homebush Bay. Nearly 12,000 students from 103 high schools have attended in 2008. Evaluations of both students and teachers have received the event very positively with many schools attending consecutive years. The forum is held because our youth are being severely injured and killed due to potentially preventable road crashes. The NSW statistics for 2005 for 17-25 year olds, recorded 6,487 casualties of road trauma and 111 deaths. These young people hold only 15% of licenses, but they are involved in 28% of crashes, which often result in hospitalization. Westmead Hospital's Trauma Service and NRMA Motoring & Services are committed to decreasing these numbers. The Forum provides students who are most at risk, a realistic look at the trauma caused by road crashes and gives them information and strategies in an attempt to reduce serious injuries and deaths. The Forum’s contents and structure aim’s to treat young people as adults allowing them freedom to choose from a range of interactive exhibits. The dates for the Youth and Road Trauma Forum 2009 are the 18th 19th and 20th August 2009. www.australianyouthandroadtraumaforum.org Indigenous Girl Power Five Indigenous Australian Science Students - all girls - have won scholarships to the prestigious Professor Harry Messel International Science School (ISS) 2009 at the University of Sydney this week.
