Getting to and from school safely

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

  • driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
  • being a good role model
  • never calling your child from across the road
  • using the safest place to cross the road.

NSW Transport provides students with an Opal Student Card for free or subsidised transport to and from school. All students who use school buses or catch public transport to school must abide by the Code of Conduct

The Student Code of Conduct exists to ensure you travel safely and show respect for others.

Students must follow regulations when travelling between home and school using public transport. All students must behave in a manner that ensures both their comfort and safety and that of other passengers.

Disobeying these rules may lead to:

  • the withdrawal of school travel passes.
  • banning students from travelling on public transport.
  • police prosecution and court action.

Vandalism is a serious criminal offence. Students caught tagging, etching or vandalising Transport for NSW property will be arrested and may face criminal charges.

Buses

Behaviour on buses

  • Use appropriate language not offensive or racist language
  • Fighting, spitting, feet on seats, throwing things in or from the bus is not permitted
  • No eating or drinking (other than water) - unless for medical reasons or the bus operator gives written permission.
  • Offer seats to adults including people with a disability, elderly or expectant mothers
  • Do not push or shove other people
  • Do not bully or harass other passengers or the driver
  • Avoid attracting the attention of the driver except in the case of emergency
  • Do not play music at such volume that it may distract the bus driver or other passengers.

Safety on and near buses

  • Obey reasonable directions from the driver (for example, where to sit or to remain in the bus)
  • Remain in your seat - do not move around the bus unnecessarily
  • If standing, remain behind the front passenger seat and always keep a secure handhold
  • Keep bags and other items clear of the aisle
  • Do not allow any part of your body to protrude out of the bus at any time
  • Wait for the bus in a quiet and orderly manner - including at bus interchanges
  • Stand away from the roadside until the bus comes to a complete stop
  • Allow other passengers to leave the bus before stepping onto the bus in a single line
  • Wait until the bus stops before moving to get off the bus at your designated stop
  • Cross the road where and when it's safe to do so, use crossings/traffic lights where available.

Legal considerations on buses

  • Wear the seat belt properly adjusted and fastened, if one is available
  • Obey the law that bans smoking on buses
  • Ensure that buses are not vandalised - report any damage, graffiti and window etching, to the driver
  • Do not interfere with bus property, equipment and signage
  • Do not leave rubbish on the bus, or at bus stops or interchanges.

Subsidised school travel

Transport for NSW provides subsidies to assist school students.

  • The School Student Transport Scheme provides eligible students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school.
  • The School Drive Subsidy may help towards the costs of driving children to school if you live in an area where there is no public transport.
