Eligibility: Students are eligible for transport assistance if they meet all three criteria below.

• For high school students, year 9 or above, at least 4.8 km

3. There must be no suitable public transport options. 

Daily Bus List and Home Time Bus Procedures:- A teacher is on bus duty at the end of each day and they are responsible for checking off the students who are on the bus each day. For safety reasons it is important that you notify the school office if your child is not going home on the bus. This will ensure that all students are accounted for.

At the end of the school day, bus students can choose to play on the playground or field until the bus bell goes at 3.20pm.  The bus area is a ‘passive area’ and there are to be no balls or tag played in this area. 

• When the bell goes at 3.20, students need to head straight to the bus area and line up. 

• Three cones, labeled with the name of each bus route, will indicate where they need to line up.

• Students sit quietly in their bus lines while the teacher calls the names on each bus list and marks who is present. 

• Teachers ensure that the number of students boarding the bus matches the number of students they have ticked off.

• Students are to remain seated in their bus lines until their bus arrives. 

• Bus students' cell phones will be handed out after the bus roll is called.

Transport Code of Conduct:- All students on our bus list are asked to read and sign a Transport Code of Conduct at the beginning of each year. This outlines expected behaviour. The principal will investigate any reports of poor behaviour and parents may be approached to help correct the issue if needed. 

Irregular passengers:- Students who are not entitled to use the bus, must make arrangements with our operator, Go Bus, if they wish to use the school bus service.
