Just a friendly reminder that the school bus will operate as usual on Friday 16 May for the morning route and will drop our bus kids off to the production venue instead of school. We have already spoken to the families that are at the end of the route close to school to help with alternative arrangements.
For the afternoon route, the bus kids will be picked up from the venue and commence the usual school route from school. Any issues please contact us angely.cullerne [at] gmail.com or on Whatsapp.
Every term, we host a Bus Society committee meeting at school that school families are more than welcome to attend and learn more about bus operations, fundraising and grants status etc.!
The next meeting is at 7pm on 12 May – all bus families are welcome to attend!
Hope you are all having a relaxing break these school holidays. Here’s a quick update from the Bus Society for Term 2!
