If your child is likely to catch a school bus at any stage this year, please register them as soon as possible. If you need to check if your child qualifies for the school bus see the information in the School Transport Assistance Factsheet.

Students who live more than 3.2 Km away from school are eligible for the free school bus service. If you are eligible to travel on a bus, please fill in the Form Here.  

On the first day of school, we meet with bus students to help them find the correct after-school bus on their first day at school.   For the first couple of weeks of the school year, students line up in bus lines to board the buses, until they become familiar with where their bus parks. If your child plans to catch the bus the first morning of school, please see the bus maps on the registration form for bus stops.  If you live in the country, bus drivers will look out for any students waiting on the side of the road in Waimea Intermediate school uniform in the first few weeks of the new year.  Drivers will discuss with students the safest place for them to wait in the mornings.

The bus notice, with links to maps, and the bus timetable are attached below to download.
