Emergency Transport
The bus committee put together the following steps to be followed in the advent of an
inoperable bus.
- Contractors will contact parents of relevant bus and school to inform them that the bus is inoperable.
- Contractors will offer parents alternative arrangements, i.e. a delayed service or use of other suitable vehicles, or any other arrangements that parents and contractors agree upon.
- If any parent or guardian is unable to be contacted, then the school will be contacted to obtain the number of emergency contact as listed on enrolment form.
- If road conditions do not allow for the buses to either arrive at or depart from the school site, then parents will be notified via phone. Parents will then be given the option to
a) Collect/deliver students using their own means or
b) Make arrangements suitable to the situation.
