  • make sure you and your belongings are inside the bus at all times
  • not throw anything from a bus window or have anything hanging out a window
  • place bags and other belongings in the allocated storage areas
  • get on and off the bus quietly and in an orderly manner
  • stay in your seat while the bus is moving
  • not distract drivers with screaming, shouting or unruly behaviour
  • when you get off the bus only cross the road when the bus has left and it is safe to do so
  • no dangerous or flammable goods are allowed on the bus, for example aerosol cans
  • travel on the bus service allocated to you, to and from your approved bus stop only. Do not change to one that will take you to a sports or social event

  • in the morning, let CSC and the driver know if you will not be travelling home on the bus that day
  • use a standard conversational tone and do not call out to others on board or to passing traffic or people

  • the driver will stop the bus
  • the offender’s name and full details of the breach will be recorded
  • the offender will be transported to CSC or to their normal drop off
  • the breach will be reported to the coordinating Principal
  • the coordinating Principal will take disciplinary measures in accordance with the guidelines below
  • in rare and exceptional circumstances, and only as a last resort, drivers are authorised to eject passengers from a bus

Following the report of a relevant incident, the Principal may take the disciplinary action below:

  • first offence – verbal warning to student
  • second offence – written warning to parent/guardian
  • third offence – one week suspension of student from bus travel
  • fourth offence – the student will not be allowed to travel on the bus for the remainder of the year.

A serious offence that endangers other students, bus staff or property will result in immediate suspension.
