Travel to and from School

Safety

Children need to learn about safe travel to and from school whether travelling by foot, bicycle, bus, train or ferry.

It is useful to familiarise younger students with travelling on buses/trains before they start first term.

Buses have installed flashing lights to let motorists know when the bus is stopping to pick up or set down children.

Student travel pass

Students who meet the eligibility criteria, have subsidised travel on Government rail, Government and private bus, ferry and long distance coach services.

Students need to keep their travel pass in a safe place as they'll need it for the full school year. The pass must be displayed when boarding trains, buses and ferries or free travel may be refused.

School: coming and going

Students arriving at school should go straight into the school grounds. In the afternoons students should walk directly to the appropriate bus/train stop and board in a way that's respectful of other passengers.
