Student Safety 

Student safety is of paramount importance.

Reminders for parents and caregivers: 

• Caregivers are responsible for safely transporting their children to and from their school bus stop and as such are best placed to decide the safest way to do this. 

• Stick to the speed limit: it’s 20kph when passing a stopped school bus (on either side of the road). 

• Drop your tamariki off on the same side of the road as the bus stop. 

• Teach your tamariki to always get out of the car on the side closest to the curb.  

• Always take your tamariki to and from the bus-stop. 

• Teach your tamariki not to run across the road. 

• Remind your tamariki on how to keep safe boarding and disembarking the bus:  

• While waiting at the bus stop, keep well back from the road. 

• Wait until the bus has completely stopped and the door opens before getting on. 

After getting off the bus, stand well back from the road and wait until the bus has gone and you can see clearly before moving.
