The caregiver and the student should ensure they have read and understood this document, which is to be adhered to for the safety of the bus driver and all students travelling on the school bus.

I agree to abide by the behavioural expectations described below:

I will remain in my seat for the whole journey.
I will not eat on the bus or throw anything inside or out of the bus.
I will respect other students and their property at all times (this includes pushing, verbal or physical abuse, or any other behaviour that may distract the driver).
I will use appropriate  language when conversing with the driver and/or other students
I will not speak at a volume that may distract the driver.
I will respect the property of the bus operator at all times (e.g. refraining from standing on seats or vandalising the vehicle in any way).
I will not engage in any behaviour that could put the driver or other students at risk.
I will observe the requirements and instructions of the bus driver and the adult/s responsible for bus duty at all times.
I understand that any damage I cause to the bus will result in my caregiver being billed for the cost of repairs.
I understand that devices, including phones, are not to be taken to technology classes on Tuesdays, therefore no phone, or music device will be taken on the bus.

The safety and comfort of everyone on the bus depends on a standard of behaviour and consideration for others that is expected in the classroom. We expect caregivers to support the school in reinforcing these standards of behaviour.

Likely steps that will be taken if this code of conduct is broken:

* The student will have a conversation with one of our teaching team and the caregiver will be notified immediately.
* If the behaviour continues, the student will be given an assigned seat on the bus for an agreed period of time.
* If there is still no improvement, travel on a school bus will be withdrawn, and the caregiver will be required to find alternative transport for the student. This will mainly be for technology on Tuesday mornings.
