Goodes Coaches would like to thank everyone for such a great start to the school bus year. The drivers have commented on how most children are behaving on the school buses and following directions.
You will find most of the school buses now have seatbelts please ask your children to put seatbelts on as soon as they get onto the school bus.
All of the school buses do not allow eating or drinking on the bus unless it is water and if your child needs to get off at a different stop from their designated stop they will require a note to the driver.
Transport NSW has passed on some great bus safety brochures which we encourage every parent to read and show their children Any queries at any time feel free to call Goodes Coaches depot on (02) 6947 2636
