Travel to school

Planning your school travel is easy. There are a range of safe transport options to get to our school.

Three bus operators service the school – the contract to travel is between the operators and parents. Bus drivers have a Common Code Of Conduct for students and drivers have the right to terminate travel if behaviour is not appropriate.

Peter Livingstone - 0427 645 282 Manildra/Yellow Box Road, Coates Creek, Henry Parkes  Way and Town.

Cabonne Bus Lines - Ted Ryan 6364 2112 - Gumble, Bocobra, Henry Parkes Way and Town. Orange Bus Lines - Matt 02 6362 3197 - Orange Road, Sharpless Lane, Gregra and Town.

All K,1,2 pupils are entitled to free bus travel regardless of the distance from home to school.  Pupils in 3,4,5,6 who live more than 1.6km from school are also entitled to free travel.

School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) application forms are available at   www.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts

This application needs to be completed before allowing your child to travel on the bus. If your child is riding on a bus that they don’t normally go on (to Grandparent or for a birthday party), it is important to give the bus driver a courtesy call beforehand. This means that the bus driver knows what is going on, where to drop off and they have your phone number if something doesn’t go to plan.

A Private Conveyance Allowance can be claimed by parents who travel more than 1.6km to  meet the bus. Forms are available online by logging onto: www.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts

Manildra Public School are very fortunate to have our own bus. This is used to transport students to and from sporting events and carnivals, excursions and other activities.
