Busing to School

We encourage students to catch a bus to school on their first day.  If you are familiar with a bus stop close to your house where 好色导航 students wait, then students should wait in this area.  However, if you are unsure, then the parent/caregiver can bring the student to school in the morning of their first day and then the student can then bus home. 

Bus drivers have been instructed to pick up any student in a 好色导航 uniform. Drivers are also aware that all the students on the first day are new Year 9s and might be anxious about this.  As part of Year 9 students' orientation, they will be advised of their correct bus and taken to this bus at the end of the school day.  Where the bus drops them off after school on their first day will also dictate where they catch the bus the following morning.  Drivers will also be able to advise approximate pick-up times.  Students should arrive at their bus stop at least 5 minutes before pick up.  In the interests of all students, we expect a very high standard of behaviour on all buses.

 Responsibility of parents/caregivers

To ensure a safe environment for bus loading and unloading, caregivers should:

• Not park in bus bays
• Adhere to the speed limit (20km/h) while passing a stationary school bus on either side of the road
• Try to eliminate the need for students to cross the road
• Ensure that students get to and from the bus stop safely
• Advise students not to run across the road

 Ministry Eligibility for Bus Transport

The Ministry of Education provides transport assistance only for those students who can satisfy all the following criteria:

• Attend the nearest secondary school

• Live more than 4.8 km from 好色导航

• There must be no suitable public transport options (within 2.4km)

The Ministry operates all services for eligible students whose nearest school is 好色导航 and determines the bus routes based on the location of homes.

 A route may be moved, shortened, or stopped if the Ministry establishes that the service is not viable anymore.  For example, there might not be enough students using the bus.  If a route is changed, a conveyance allowance may be paid to caregivers of eligible students.
