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.
