2017 School Bus Route Map and Timetable

Thank you to those parents who attended the Bus Route Review Meeting on Monday evening. Below is the final bus route map and timetable to take effect the first day of school in 2017.

As discussed at the Bus Route Review Meeting, bus subscription fees will be increased 10% next year to help make up some of the shortfall on operational costs.

Please note in accordance with new health and safety requirements, all families must sign a Registration Form and Code of Conduct to use the bus in 2017. These forms will be sent home to families early December.

Bus Route Review Meeting 21 November

Reminder to all bus families and new families interested in using the school bus service in 2017. 

The proposed 2017 bus route will be presented at the Bus Route Review Meeting on Monday 21 November 2016 at 7pm in the Pukekohe East School hall.

Thank you to the many families who have already given feedback on the bus route.

In a slight alteration to the process the proposed bus route map will not be circulated beforehand.

Thanks TrailLite for new safety features

The Pukekohe East School bus has two new safety features thanks to the generosity of TrailLite and the Newman family.

You will have noticed our fancy new automatic step and a new reversing camera on the school bus. Both features were donated and installed by TrailLite to support our health and safety plan.

The reversing camera is a big help to our drivers and the automatic step enables the smaller children to climb aboard more easily and safely.
