Conduct on School Buses and student bus travel

 Revised guidelines:

Transport for NSW has released revised guidelines for managing student behaviour while travelling on buses.
The Guidelines for Managing School Student Behaviour on Buses and associated NSW School Student Code of Conduct, originally published in July 2006, are requirements published under the Passenger Transport Regulation 2007. The Code of Conduct applies to all school children enrolled in government or non-government schools, whether they use a government or private bus, and irrespective of whether they travel under the School Student Transport Scheme.

All students are reminded of the following:

To tap their Opal Cards when boarding school buses.

To give preference to students who live furthest away from school on the bus route.

To give Primary students precedence, care, and seats on the buses.

To inform me if the Opal card does not arrive to the home address after two weeks from lodgement of the application.
