Regular School Bus Services

Due to growing number of students, we closely monitor the bus load and communicate regularly with the Ministry of Education to ensure our students travel safely to and from school each day.

Please be aware that the buses may be full at the start of the year. The New Zealand Transport Agency determines the legal loading limit for school buses, and this load includes standing passengers. The bus companies and the Ministry of Education manage this situation.
