School Transport Policy Brookhurst International School recognizes the importance of providing safe and reliable school transportation services for our students. Our school transport policy outlines the guidelines and procedures for ensuring that our transportation system operates smoothly and safely.

1. Eligibility for School Transportation School transportation is provided for all students who live beyond a reasonable walking distance from the school. The school will determine the eligibility of each student for transportation based on their home address.

However, for parents who wish to pick their children, the car should have a school sticker.

For students who use taxi services, the parents should have a designated cab and communicate the details to the school.

For the students who walk/cycle home, they are required to sign in/out at the gate.

2. Safety Standards All school buses are equipped with safety equipment such as seat belts, first aid kits, and fire extinguishers. Each bus driver must have a valid driving license and undergo regular training on driving safety, emergency procedures, and child safety.

3.Route Planning The school will determine the school bus routes based on the number of eligible students and the geographical location of their homes. The school will also consider traffic congestion and safety issues when planning the bus routes.

The school will also communicate the timings for picking and dropping the student at the designated areas. The bus wait time will be 5 minutes to pick / drop the student.

5.Discipline and Conduct All students who use the school transportation system are expected to follow the school's code of conduct while on the bus. Students who do not comply with the rules and regulations may face disciplinary action, including suspension of transportation services.

6.Communication The school will communicate regularly with parents and guardians about transportation schedules, changes in bus routes, and any other relevant information.

Additionally, the parents are required to communicate to the school a day prior of any changes in pick-up of the student.

7.Fees Fees for school transportation will be determined by the school and communicated to parents and guardians at the beginning of each academic year.

All the transport fees should be paid in full at the beginning of the term. The fees will be adjusted to carter for inflation when need arises.

8.Liability The school is not responsible for any loss or damage to personal property that occurs during transportation. The school is also not liable for any injuries or accidents that occur outside the school bus.
