Farmer Jock Bus Sleigh Ride

‘Twas the last day of school, when all through the land;
Many creatures were grazing, as the school bus whizzed past;
The decorations were hung from the luggage racks with care;
Because on the school bus today Santa was there,
The children were nestled all snug in their seats;Santa
While visions of prizes danced in their heads!

Today our fabulous drivers Gail and Debbie gave the kids a fun finale bus ride to end the school year. The school bus sleigh was decorated with tinsel and balloons, and Santa caught a lift. The kids enjoyed competitions, singing and spot prizes on their way home.

Gail and Debbie, thank you for delighting our children. The bus society is very lucky to have you. Thanks also to Gail’s son Kane and Maddie for making special take-home treats. Last but not least, thanks Santa for riding with us.

Valley Road & Family Christian Centre Belgium Road Users:
We have created an alternative bus stop on Valley Road, further down towards Ridge Road. This bus stop caters to families on foot. For parents in cars please continue to use the bus stop at the Family Christian Centre on Belgium Rd which provides ample parking and a safe waiting area for your children.
