SCHOOL BUS |
|
Mount Blowhard Primary School is serviced by one bus, supplied by Little's Coaches. The bus route is set by Public Transport Victoria and routes are planned to collect as many students as possible whilst keeping buses within a school’s zone. An application is made to Public Transport Victoria to request a bus route be altered or extended to accommodate new student/s. Buses pick up and drop off from the open area in front of the school gym as this is a safe location separate from cars and pedestrians.
A roll is marked each journey to record which students have travelled by bus. If students are not frequent bus travellers, parents may request that their child travel by bus on a single occasion. Parents may also request that their child get off at a different stop than their usual one. These request can be made in writing or verbally to the school office, Principal or classroom teacher. These changes are recorded on the bus roll.
Students are expected to follow usual school rules when travelling on buses and follow directions from the bus driver, including wearing seat belts. Students must remain in their seats at all times and behave in a safe and courteous manner. Any concerns about bus travel can be taken to the Principal. A Bus Policy, including Codes of Conduct, outline in detail expectations, procedures and information regarding bus travel.
Please contact the school office to obtain the required forms for new students to be bus travellers or for more information.
