Getting to and from school safely

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

• driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
• being a good role model
• never calling your child from across the road
• using the safest place to cross the road.

For parents and carers of younger children

Discuss with your child how to be safe when:

• walking
• in the car
• waiting for, travelling on, and getting off the bus
• riding bikes, scooters and skateboards.

Also talk about and practise:

• safe travel routes
• plans for when unexpected things happen
• what to do in wet weather.

Bus travel

Our local school bus service is Robertson Bus Service. It is run by Grant and Marianne Pointing.

This service can be used by students and the public.

When your child is starting school and wishes to catch the bus, it is advisable to contact the bus operator, to let them know of the new student and any other information you may need.

We have designated routes , which can only be changed with the approval of Transport for NSW, who we have to abide by their rules.

For school children, the following applies:

• Kindergarten, Years 1 and 2 get free travel, no matter where they live.
• Years 3 to 6 have to live further than 2.3 walking distance from the school, before they can get free travel.
• However, some may get approval due to a safety issue (having to cross a railway with no crossing). This has to be applied for through the Transport for NSW website.
• If years 3 to 6 wish to catch the bus, they may do so, but will have to pay 50c per day.

Subsidised school travel

Transport for NSW provides subsidies to assist school students.

• The School Student Transport Scheme provides eligible students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school.
• The School Drive Subsidy may help towards the costs of driving children to school if you live in an area where there is no public transport.
