Transport:

Most of our students are transported by contract bus. All transport costs to and from school are provided by the government.
Our use of buses at any other time is charged to the school budget. All out of town excursions incur a cost of $10.00 per child.
If we need to hire another bus the cost will be more.

Parents
In order for students to access transport services, home and emergency contact numbers and any information regarding special requirements must be provided.  Permission must also be given for this information to be forwarded to the bus company management if appropriate.

It is also required that the parent or a responsible adult is at the student’s designated stop in the afternoon.  If this does not occur, the bus will continue its journey and the service provider will notify the school immediately to arrange an alternative stop.

Parents/caregivers will:        

• accompany a student to the bus stop each morning and meet the student in the afternoon unless other arrangements have been negotiated with the school;
• meet their children at the times as advised by the bus timetable;
• notify the school if there is a change in the person meeting the student or if the student will be absent for any period of time; and
• complete and return a bus permission slip to the school to request a change to the student’s travel arrangements.

Students are not to eat on the bus but may carry a drink bottle on hot days.
