Bus Route 2020
The Ministry of Education has undertaken a review of all school bus routes and as a result have made changes to the Puketaha School bus route for 2020.
As of next year, we will be sharing a bus with Gordonton School. The Ministry of Education have designed the new bus route in a way they feel still caters for as many eligible students as possible between the two schools, as well as cutting down the number of rural buses they will need.
Please note that this is a Ministry of Education initiative and despite our efforts there are unfortunately no options but to accept the changes to the bus route. The Ministry of Education have been clear they are still acting within their policy guidelines. We are aware that for some families, this new bus route will no longer be suitable.
This will also change familes eligibility for Conveyance Allowance, for more information about this or to download a form go to the Ministry of Education website School Transport information or contact Christine in the School Office.
Please find attached the map of the new bus route and the list of roads.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
