Students travelling on one of these buses will be allocated a bus pass each term from the Front Office. Students need to keep these safe and handy as the drivers are obliged to check these. Preschool children are not eligible for bus passes.

Parents need to be aware that it is not the bus drivers’ responsibility to know where children get off the bus. If a child misses his / her stop the driver has been directed to take the child to the bus depot where parents will be contacted. If no contact is made the child will be taken to the nearest police station.

Students travelling on routes 433 and 435 (1st and 2nd buses) line up in the assembly area straight after the end of school bell ready for the buses. Students on routes 425 and 411 (3rd and 4th buses) may have a short play in the designated areas until the 3.15pm bus bell sounds. They then sit in the bus lines in the assembly area until the buses arrive. There are teachers on duty to supervise children waiting for buses.
