Ruben Rūpene is the Waikato Regional Council’s road safety mascot who teaches children aged up to about 7 years old about road safety through fun interactive lessons and supporting resources.

If your school, preschool, kura kaupapa or kohanga reo are in the Waikato Region and you would like Ruben Rūpene to come and share his road safety lesson in English, te reo Maori or bilingually please “contact us”.

Ruben Rūpene will also deliver his road safety lesson at events if promoting the safety of children up to about 7 years old is the focus.

Ring 0800 800 401 and talk to our friendly team to see if your event would be an appropriate venue for Ruben Rūpene.
