The Bus Service

The school operates a bus route and can give advice to bus stops approximate pick-up and drop-off times. The bus arrives at school between 8:45am – 9:00am and departs approximately 3:05pm.

The present Ministry of Education policy for school buses is as follows:

“Pupils under 10 years of age who live more than 3.2kms from the nearest state school and pupils 10 years of age and over who live more than 4.8kms from the nearest state school, may be eligible for transport.  The provision of school transport is a form of assistance only and does not fully remove the obligation of parents in this regard.  Eligible children are normally required to make their own way up to 1.6kms to the bus stop.  A gap of up to about 5kms between services and also between a service and a neighbouring school is advised”.

The cost for ineligible children is $30.00 per child per term.

The bus route is up to be renegotiated in 2008 and it is hoped it can be extended to further meet the growing needs of the school. Please let the school know about your bus requirements and we will attempt to accommodate them on the bus route.
