BUS BAY
Mornings
All students must leave the bus bay in the morning and make their way into school grounds via the pathway adjacent to Koala Park.
Laurence Street to enter the grounds after leaving a bus. This is clearly for the safety of students.
Students are not to loiter in the bus bay after the arrival of their bus. Arrange to meet other students in the school grounds, not in the bus bay.
Afternoon
Students proceed to the bus bay by walking down the path adjacent to Koala Park. Students must go straight to the bus bay, and not stop in Koala Park to wait for buses.
Students must not use the car exit to Laurence Street to leave the school grounds. This is a safety issue.
On arrival at the bus bay, students should remain quietly behind the railing and wait for their bus. The entrance passages (race) to the road must remain clear.
Students should keep their bags with them while in the bus bay. Bags placed on the ground in a line do not reserve a place in the bus queue. This only encourages jostling as students attempt to regain their place in the queue.
For safety reasons, behaviour in the bus bay must be beyond criticism. Pushing into queues, pushing queues forward and pushing other students out of queues will be viewed as serious offences.
Lines for each bus are to commence behind the race, not in it. When instructed to board the bus, students enter the race and proceed to the bus.
Students who have bus passes must have them out for inspection by the bus driver and teacher on duty if required. Students without bus passes should line up on the back of the queue.
Students must only board the bus when told to do so by a supervising teacher. No student is to board the bus without that instruction.
Boarding should be carried out calmly, in a single file and without jostling. This is necessary for the safety of both students and the supervising teacher.
At all times, students must obey an instruction given by a supervising teacher, a supervisor from the bus company or a bus driver.
