Charter Bus Service
One of the ways in which Tintern Schools accommodates the transport needs of families is by providing subsidised charter bus services to and from school. This service aims to ensure safe, convenient and secure travel for students. Safety procedures do not permit any student to stand or sit on the floor of any of the charter buses. On buses with seatbelt provision, students are required to wear seatbelts at all times. To ensure that each student is provided with a seat, the charter bus service is only available to students who have registered their travel needs with the Transport Manager.
