🎉 A big Happy Birthday and congratulations to Daegan on passing his drive test at Pakenham East VicRoads today! 🚗

Today was a real full-circle moment.

I’ve known Daegan’s mum, Chelsea, since our dance class days many years ago, and she was even the talented lady who did my makeup for my wedding. To now have had the privilege of teaching her son to drive over the past two years has been incredibly special.

Watching Daegan grow in confidence behind the wheel and complete a beautiful, safe, smooth, and systematic drive today made me so proud.

What a way to celebrate your birthday—earning your licence and beginning your next chapter!

Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey. Enjoy the freedom, make smart choices, and most importantly, drive safe.

Congratulations, Daegan! 🎂🎈🚗

It’s that time of year again—one of my favourite events, Lions Club – In the Driver’s Seat! 💙🚗

This incredible event, held at Sandown Raceway, is the only one of its kind in Australia where people with vision impairment have the opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience the thrill of driving.

It was so great catching up with familiar faces and meeting some amazing new people. Every one of our VIP drivers did an incredible job!

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteers their time to make this special day possible. It truly wouldn’t happen without you. 👏

Well done today Amy, a fantastic drive from start to finish!
Stay safe and enjoy the freedom of driving 🚗💨

End of Year Wrap-Up – Thank You 💛

As 2025 comes to an end, I want to say a huge thank you to all my amazing students and their families for your support throughout the year. Every lesson, every milestone and every licence achieved — it’s been such a privilege to be part of your driving journey.

It’s also been a big year of growth for me professionally. I completed my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, upgraded my Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training, and stepped further into the world of bus driver training in my new role — all of which has helped me strengthen my skills as an educator.

I’ve continued my work in driver education with Driver Dynamics, proudly run the Junior Development Program with Pakenham Auto Club, and was also fortunate to be involved in the VIP event with the Lions Club and the Women’s Introduction to Motorsport event — with more exciting opportunities ahead.

They say to do something you love, and I’m definitely doing that every single day.

Thank you again for trusting me to be part of your learning and development. I’m really looking forward to seeing what 2026 brings!

Empowering Women in Bus Driving 🚍💪

Mentoring women in our industry doesn’t stop once they pass their licence test — that’s just the beginning.

True support means continuing to guide, encourage, and build confidence as they step into the driver’s seat professionally. From navigating the school run to managing challenging roads and passengers, ongoing mentorship is key to helping them thrive and feel part of the team.

Let’s keep creating space for women to grow, succeed, and lead in transport. 💛
