The four students, Josh Fraser, Anthony DiBlasi, Ben Murphy and Ben Santostefano, took out first place in the film category for their entry ‘It’s not a Game’. This was also voted as the best overall entry with the judges awarding the Woodvale team the Grand Final prize.

Kiara Cockroft and Melissa Jackson also won third prize in the poster section with their entry “Drugs and driving – its not worth the trip”

The RAC’s Community Ed Manager Simon Danby said the students work conveyed a strong message to young drivers.

“The boys from Woodvale have excelled themselves in creating this film. It portrays an in-depth message in a way that young drivers will clearly understand and it encapsulates everything the RAC Fame competition is about,” Mr Danby said.

The RAC’s Fame competition challenged students in years 10, 11 and 12 to create a road safety advertisement in the form of a film, poster or online banner. All entries had to contain a road safety message about drinking, drugs, speed, fatigue, distractions or seatbelts.

This year 136 entries were received.

As grand final winners, the team from Woodvale won an FTI Creative Youth workshop of their choice and the school will receive a Panasonic DV camcorder and tripod.
