Bus Behaviour - Essential Agreement
As John Brewster mentioned in last weeks school newsletter, we will be introducing a three strike system after Chinese New Year. If a child receives three strikes for unexpected bus behavior in one term, they will be banned from the bus for one week.
Please have a chat with your child about the expectations for a safe journey on the bus.
Expected behaviors on the school bus
- Listen to and follow your Bus Mother’s instructions
- Speak politely and respectfully to others
- Keep food and drinks inside your bag while onboard
- Once on the bus, find your seat and use quiet voices
- Pay attention and listen to what is being said to you
- Put on your seatbelt and SIT STILL
- Wait until the bus has stopped before unbuckling
Unexpected behaviors on the school bus - any one of these behaviors constitutes a STRIKE
- Annoying others around you, eg. kicking seats
- Speaking rudely to somebody
- Ignoring instructions from your Bus Mother
- Throwing things
- Shouting on the bus
- Moving around once on board
- Getting out of your seat while the bus is still moving
- Unbuckling your seatbelt while the bus is still moving
- Distracting the bus driver while he is driving
- Playing with sharp objects eg. pencils, recorders
