How do I register?
Download the StudentSafe app from the App/Google Play store. Simply click the register button on the bottom of the app home page. You will be asked for your email address. This must match the email address (for security reasons) that you have registered with the school. The system will then text you a One Time Passcode to your registered mobile number. Once entered you will be able to set up your password.
My email will not work when registering?
Your email address does not match the email registered with the school. Please contact the school to update your email address.
When registering my email, I did not receive a 6-digit code?
If you didn’t receive a code, it’s likely that your mobile number doesn’t match the records held by the School. Please contact the school to update your details.
Where can I find the bus routes and timetables?
You can find detailed bus routes and timetables on this website. Explore each route to see bus stops and departure/arrival times.
What if I would like an additional stop?
Our service can be flexible and additional stops can be added if there’s enough demand and if they fit within the current routes. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for assistance.
What if I need different stops/routes during the week to accommodate my child’s regular travel?
While split bookings aren’t available, we understand exceptional circumstances may arise. Please email us at [email protected] for assistance.
How do I change my schedule from an Early to a Late?
In the “My Bookings” section of the portal, click on the “edit schedule” button. From there, you can switch between the Early and Late routes and adjust your schedule accordingly. Remember to save your changes.
How will billing work?
All billing and payment is handled directly by the School, please contact the School for more information.
If I book my child on the bus but they do not travel, will I still be charged?
Yes, as the seat is reserved for your child, no other student can take that seat.
If I cancel my booking after half a term, will I get a refund?
No, billing is for the whole term to facilitate route planning and capacity prediction.
If I start my booking after half a term, will I be charged less?
No, billing is for the whole term. This allows us to plan the routes, stops and bus capacity.
How do I cancel / give notice for the bus service?
All bookings are termly and must be made in advance. If you wish to cancel partway through the term, you will still be charged for the remainder of that term.
What if I need to amend my travel arrangements before the start of term?
Please email us at [email protected], and we will assist you.
What to do if the school bus is running late?
Wait at your stop for 10 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time.
