Schools have no control over bus routes or conveyancing. Students who live further than 3.2km from the school and who live inside the Transport Entitlement Zone (TEZ) may get a bus to school providing there is a route close by. Sometimes parents may need to take children to the nearest route to catch the bus.

 

Students who choose Tapanui School but live outside the TEZ must get permission from the closest school before transport can take place. Go Bus usually charge students who travel from outside the TEZ.

 

For matters centred around operations, routes or student behaviour on buses, contact the Principal. If you want to discuss transport arrangements or get further information about a conveyancing allowance contact the MOE.
