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.
