WHOLE SCHOOL POLICIES

Driving: Student Vehicles

Students in control of vehicles

Students enrolled at ACG School Jakarta should at all times demonstrate safe driving and other good road safety and driving habits when operating motor vehicles. Safety of the student, and other road users, is the primary concern. Secondly, the actions of offending drivers identified as ACG School Jakarta students create unfavourable impressions of our student body and the School itself. The following regulations serve to address this problem and promote a culture of safe driving. ACG School Jakarta supports initiatives to reduce road accident and injury statistics. The School is obliged to notify the authorities of any inappropriate driving incidents or breaches of licence conditions that come to our attention.

To promote a culture of safe and responsible driving, students who drive to school are required to complete a Vehicle Approval Form.

Registration Procedure

• Students request a ‘Vehicle Approval Form (VAF)’ from Student Services. • The VAF is to be fully and accurately completed with driver, licence and vehicle details. (Copy of licence to be attached). • The regulations contained in this document should be read carefully by the student (and a parent/caregiver/homestay if the student is under the age of 18 years). • The declaration is to be signed and dated by the student (and a parent/caregiver/homestay if the student is under the age of 18 years). • If passengers are to be transported by a student with a full licence then signed copies of the ‘Permission to Transport Passengers’
