School Leaders Assembly

Next Friday, the 13th of March, our 2026 school leaders will be recognised at our Term 1 assembly.

All members of the community are welcome as we will be awarding merits and swimming carnival awards also.

The assembly will begin just after 11:30 in the music room at Ardlethan Central School.

A reminder for students travelling by bus to and from school

As we are now well into Term 1 our school bus provider, MIA Coaches, has asked that parents remind their child/children of their responsibilities when travelling on the buses.

Behaviour on buses

Use appropriate language; do not use offensive or racist language.
Fighting, spitting, putting feet on seats, and throwing things in or from the bus are not permitted.
No eating or drinking (other than water) unless for medical reasons or with written permission from the bus operator.
No pushing or shoving.
No bullying or harrassing other passengers or the bus driver.
Avoid attracting the attention of the driver except in the case of emergency.
Do not play music at such volume that it may distract the bus driver or other passenters.

Safety on and near buses

Obey reasonable directions from the driver (for example, where to sit or to remain in the bus).
Remain in your seat; do not move around the bus unnecessarily.
Keep bags and other items clear of the aisle.
Do not allow any part of your body to protrude from the bus at any time.
Wait for the bus in a quiet and orderly manner.
Stand away from the roadside until the bus comes to a complete stop.
Allow other passengers to leave the bus before boarding in a single line.
Wait until the bus stops before moving to get off the bus at your designated stop.
Cross the road where and when it's safe to do so.

Legal considerations on buses

Wear the seatbelt properly adjusted and fastened.
Obey the law that bans smoking or vaping on buses.
Ensure that buses are not vandalised; report any damage, graffiti, or window etching to the driver.
Do not interfere with bus property, equipment, or signage.
Do not leave rubbish on the bus or at bus stops.
