Kia ora whānau

As we near the end of Term two, I want to say a big thank you to all our community for adjusting and supporting the many changes and procedures we have been through over the past weeks..

A huge thank you to our dedicated staff who work tirelessly to support, teach and nurture our children.

Enjoy a happy and safe weekend.

From June 4 Bayhopper buses will be free for students from 7am-9am and from when school finishes until 5pm Monday to Friday. Students can no longer travel on the bus for free at the weekend.

Students will still need to have a registered Bee Card with a child concession. The key is to tag on when entering and tag off when leaving the bus, so they don’t get charged a standard fare

To apply for a Bee Card and get a concession loaded, please visit www.beecard.co.nz or plan your bus journey at www.baybus.co.nz.

If you have any queries, please contact us at transport.admin@boprc.govt.nz or call 0800 4 BAY BUS.
