After our Street Smart Primary educator, Christina visited Glen Osmond Primary School recently, Year 4 student Jack sent us his new Road Safety Rap song I said stop!

You know what I am going to say? Think! Use your brain like a boss and pick a safe time to walk across. To cross the road my advice you better take! Or you'll end up like a pancake! Well done Jack, we couldn't have said it better ourselves! Music execs, please form a line.
