1.1 No driver-distracting behaviour should occur including: • no squealing, yelling, whistling, banging or other excess noise on the bus; • no hands, heads, items of clothing, bags or personal items to protrude out of the bus windows; • no litter to be thrown out of the windows or dropped in the bus.

1.2 Other bus safety rules are: • no bags, feet or knees allowed on the seats; • after selecting a seat on the bus, no changing of seats is permitted while the bus is in motion; • passageway is to be kept clear; • Students are expected to sit facing the front while the bus is in motion. • no signals or gestures are to be made to motorists or pedestrians; • Eating and drinking are not permitted on the bus – water is allowed on long distance journeys. • Seat belts are to be worn at all times whilst bus is in motion.

1.3 Students should arrive at least five minutes before the scheduled time of arrival to avoid delays.

1.4 Students are not to pass in front or behind of the bus after it has stopped.

1.5 Parents/guardians collecting students from buses are expected to be at the bus stop at least 5 minutes prior to scheduled arrival time.

2. Students whilst in Victory College uniform are still under the jurisdiction of Victory College and as such are to uphold Victory College standards of behaviour.

2.1 Victory College behaviour management guidelines apply to students wearing Victory College uniform in public areas waiting for buses and on public transport.

3. Bus drivers are instructed to inform the Principal and reception/Business Manager of unacceptable behaviour on the bus.

3.1 Students are to respectfully and speedily obey the driver’s instructions at all times

4. Whilst waiting for the bus on Victory College grounds, students are to remain behind the gates and line up sensibly when the bus arrives being tolerant of each other.

4.1 Be respectful to the Staff on duty.

4.2 Students are not to pass through the gate or attempt to enter the bus until the bus door is open and the bus is stationary.

5. Students are to wait quietly and orderly for their bus at a public stop. Students are not to run around putting themselves or others in danger eg. School crossing.

6. Victory College Behaviour management guidelines apply

If students are instructed by a member of the public to refrain from a certain action or to do something to maintain safety, then the students are to do so courteously without complaint and with respect.

I have read and understand and acknowledge these expectations for travelling on Victory College Buses and will uphold these Bus Travel Expectations.

COLLEGE BUS SERVICE 2018

Victory College operates a fleet of air-conditioned buses with students being dropped off and picked up in the College grounds. Buses arrive at 8:45am and depart at 3:00pm.

Terms of service:

• By booking a seat on the bus, parents acquire transportation to and from Victory College on all school days for their child(ren). Part bookings are not available. • The booking period begins on the first day of transportation in a school year and ends at the conclusion of the same year. • Bus fees for the booking period are billed at the commencement of the period by inclusion into school fee accounts. • Bookings can be cancelled with one term’s notice (e.g. notification at the end of term 1 for a cancellation at the end of term 2). Shorter notices will result in the full term being billed (e.g. notification mid-term 2 for a cancellation at the end of term 2 will result in term 3 being billed) • At the beginning of each booking period, preference of seat allocation is given to existing students rolling over into the subsequent booking period, and their siblings. • The College reserves the right to refuse access to its bus service and to administer appropriate disciplinary actions for students (including suspension from and cancellation of the bus service) at any time should the College deem this to be necessary. The Code of Conduct for Bus Travel applies.
