School Bus Conduct Guidelines
School Bus Behavior Guidelines
Expected behaviour on school buses
At SCI Ltd, we will do everything we can to provide a safe, reliable and friendly way to get to
school on time. However, the school bus service only works if we all do our part – and you
have a role to play too.
Catching your bus
Be ready to make the right kind of entrance:
• Be ready at the bus stop before the bus is scheduled to arrive (at least 5 minutes)
• Don’t forget to indicate for the bus to stop
• Have your puffinpass ready to use
• Wait until the bus has stopped before trying to get on
• Let passengers get off before you try and get on
• Where there is a seat, sit down as quickly as possible
On the bus
Your behaviour on the bus reflects on you, your family and your school. Unruly or dangerous behaviour on the bus will not be tolerated. This includes foul language, spitting, smoking, drug use, fighting, bullying or any abuse towards the driver and other students. Please remember that the driver can insist that students misbehaving should leave the bus and can ask the police to assist. Any student may be excluded from school buses without notice.
• Please stay in your seat when the bus is moving
• Never eat or smoke or vape on the bus and drink only if really thirsty
• Please don’t do anything that will distract the driver
• Be considerate of your fellow passengers, avoiding shouting, swearing and playing
music
• Don’t take up an extra seat with your bag – put them under your seat
• Do not block the aisle or emergency exit
• Please take your litter with you when you leave the bus
• Never open a door on the bus, except in an emergency
• Never throw anything out of a bus window as this could kill or seriously injure a passer by. Throwing something out of a bus window will be treated as a police matter
• Please treat your driver with respect and consideration and follow any instructions
they give
• Tell the driver if they are doing a good job, it builds up a good relationship; if they aren’t – just tell the company and they can resolve any issues
• Please take care of the bus and do not damage it. Vandalism of buses is very serious and may result in prosecution. Your parents will be liable for any damage caused
• Never cross the road in front of or behind a bus. You must wait for the bus to clear the area before attempting to cross the road.
