Code of Conduct
for School Students on Buses
When completing an
application for subsidised travel under the Scheme,
parents and guardians acknowledge that students have
been made aware of the Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct
was developed by Transport NSW in conjunction with the
bus industry, representatives of parent groups and education
authorities. It aims to ensure both the safety of students
and the comfort of other passengers by outlining the
behaviour required of students when travelling to and
from school.
|
The Code of
Conduct is printed on the School Student Transport
Scheme application forms. Parents/guardians are
asked to discuss these simple rules with their
children so that they understand the standards
of behaviour required of students.
Depending on
the seriousness of the misbehaviour, students
may be penalised if they breach the Code of Conduct.
Students may have their bus pass temporarily or
permanently suspended and may be required to make
alternative travel arrangements.
