Your child’s safety while using the school bus is important to us. Our assistant teachers travelling with your children have informed them about the bus rules to help them remember how they can help our bus drivers transport them safely.

We request our parents to help the school promote safety by discussing and encouraging their children to apply safety measures while using the bus to prevent accidents.
