Reminder: Bus Route Review Tonight 7pm

The Bus Route Review meeting is taking place tonight, Tuesday 2 December, at 7pm in the Pukekohe East School hall. At tonight’s Bus Route Review the bus society Executive members will explain the proposed 2015 school bus route and answer any questions. Click here to view the proposed 2015 bus route map and timetable. In particular we will discuss two possible extensions to the bus route:  Jericho Road and a new stop on Valley Road (near Ridge Road). If you would like either extension included please attend tonight’s meeting to show your commitment. We need to be confident of passenger numbers, both morning and afternoon, to decide these possible extensions.

Two strike system for onboard behaviour

As a result of yesterday’s incident, the Bus Society Executive is instigating a two strike system to help our bus drivers maintain appropriate onboard behaviour. It takes effect from today.

Two strikes and you’re off the bus
A child who misbehaves on the bus is issued a ‘first strike’ warning by the bus driver. Strikes are at the discretion of the driver, whose primary concern is the safety of the children on board. If the child is deemed to have misbehaved a second time, they shall be suspended from using the bus for a week. The child’s parents will be notified of incidents and strikes by the Bus Society Executive.
