Busways School Bus Safety Program Visits 5th October

The safety of school children in and around buses is a Busways priority and as part of this priority Busways offers the School Bus Safety Program for free to all schools in Busways areas from term 1 to term 3.

The School Bus Safety Program has been offered as a community service by Busways since 1989 and has a proud group of trainers that have a passion for children and a dedication to spreading the school bus safety message.

The Busways School Bus Safety Trainers travel to your school and provide a classroom tutorial (approximately 45 minutes) on school bus safety, running through some key points including:

  • Waiting at bus stops.
  • Getting on and off the bus at school and at bus stops.
  • Safe behaviour whilst travelling on the bus.
  • Student code of conduct.
  • Using bus passes.
  • Telling the bus driver about problems on the bus.
  • Parent/carers responsibilities (waiting on the correct side of the road).
  • Evacuation procedure in case of an emergency.
  • The role of public transport in the community.

Most importantly the trainers, who are bus drivers also, are able to develop a rapport with the students and encourage positive behaviour at the bus stop and on the bus. Students are asked to participate in different activities and demonstrations either on board a bus (the same that are used to transport them to school) or within the school grounds where messages from the first part of the program are reinforced and demonstrated.

Busways rewards students at the end of the program with a Busways cardboard bus, a Busways activity book, a Busways library bag and a certificate to say they’ve completed the program.

National Quality Standard

The National Quality Standard (NQS) sets a high benchmark for early childhood education and care services within Australia. The NQS includes seven quality areas that are important to outcomes for children. These are Educational Program and Practice, Children’s Health and Safety, Physical Environment, Staffing arrangements, Relationships with Children, and Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities. Services are assessed and rated by their regulatory authority against the NQS, and given a rating for each of the seven quality areas and an overall rating based on these results.

WWPCCC is currently rated as Meeting (April 2021) the National Quality Standard (NQS).
Quality Area 2 Children’s Health and Safety and Quality Area 5 Relationships with children were both rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard. Our rating is displayed in the foyer.
