School bus safety

We care about the safety of children on and around our school services, which is why we think everyone should take care to ensure the education of safe behaviour on and around bus services.

For students:

  • Stand well back from the road and don’t push and shove when waiting for the school bus.
  • Only approach the kerb once the school bus completely stops.
  • While on board sit down and hold on.
  • If the bus has seatbelts you must wear them at all times.
  • Don’t be noisy or unruly, the driver has to concentrate on driving.
  • When leaving the bus never cross the road until the bus has moved away and you can clearly see all road traffic.
  • Remove your headphones and ignore your mobile phone so that you can be fully aware of your surroundings.

For parents:

  • Try to park on the same side of the road as the school bus stop so your child doesn’t have to cross the road. Remember many school bus stops are located on roads that have 80/100 km speed limits.

For car drivers:

  • Slow down and watch for students when you see a school bus has stopped.
