School Bus Concerns

There have been many ongoing issues occurring on the school buses. At school we do discuss issues brought to our attention with the students and work with the students to improve their behaviour however we need the support of parents to bring about improvements. Following is information from the CDC website about the school bus service, parental responsibility and what is expected of students. If your child travels to or from school by bus, please take the time to read this information and use the link to access and speak with your child about the bus code of conduct for students.

Code of Conduct for School Students on Buses (https://cdcbus.com.au/school-services/code-of-conduct/)

When completing an application for subsidised travel under the Scheme, parents and guardians acknowledge that students have been made aware of the Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct was developed by Transport for NSW in conjunction with the bus industry, representatives of parent groups and education authorities. It aims to ensure both the safety of students and the comfort of other passengers by outlining the behaviour required of students when travelling to and from school.

The Code of Conduct is printed on the School Student Transport Scheme application forms. Parents/guardians are asked to discuss these simple rules with their children so that they understand the standards of behaviour required of students.

Depending on the seriousness of the misbehaviour, students may be penalised if they breach the Code of Conduct. Students may have their bus pass temporarily or permanently suspended and may be required to make alternative travel arrangements.

Please have a look at the Transport for NSW site on Student Code of Conduct (https://transportnsw.info/student-code-conduct) and discuss with your child.
