We have made a change to the way we collect and use bus student information which will allow us to more accurately track students and communicate with parents. If buses are delayed this information will be shared with families via Seesaw.
As part of this process please complete this form if your child uses either the Torbay or Okura bus. Filling in the form will give us a comprehensive spreadsheet of information and provide easy access to this when needed.
