Managing school student behaviour on buses, trains and ferries

When travelling between home and school, students must adhere to various regulations regarding passenger behaviour and the Code of Conduct for travel by bus and rail developed by the NSW Ministry of Transport.

To ensure their safety and the comfort of other passengers, students will:

behave safely at all times
respect the needs and comfort of other passengers
behave appropriately at all times (e.g. no use of offensive language, fighting, spitting, placing feet on seats or throwing things in or from the bus/train/ferry)
protect all property and report any vandalism
show their travel pass or ticket when requested
only use the travel pass for its intended purpose
maintain possession of the travel pass at all times
follow instructions about safety
adhere to the law that bans smoking
not eat and drink in prohibited areas
keep arms, legs and other parts of their body inside the bus/train/ferry
only attract the attention of the driver in case of emergency.
