SADD

SADD is a peer education programme that has been in New Zealand for almost 20 years. The primary objective of SADD is to reduce the harm caused on our roads by drink drivers. The peer education programme is run in secondary schools by students, independently of the school curriculum. The organisation is open to any student and SADD encourages participation from across the year levels.

SADD believes in the capacity of our youth to take action and to create change. Our initiatives and key messages are driven by young people for young people. SADD is an adaptable programme Eenabling students to design and present their activities and events in a way that caters to the unique environment and culture of their school or community.

The Opotiki College to its SADD group is committed to raising awareness about the anti-drink driving message.

We are a charitable organisation governed by the AA Driver Education Foundation and supported by an Advisory Group consisting of members from our key stakeholder partners such as Land Transport NZ, The Police and ACC.
