Bus Notice

Ritchies, our school transport provider, has advised us that from tomorrow - Wednesday 12 August - there will be a change to morning bus routines.

All buses approaching from the southern aspect of town will now each drop-off their own SKC students (after WGHS and OIS) and THEN proceed back towards WBHS to drop-off on Thames Highway, adjacent to Waitaki Ave.

All buses approaching from the north into Oamaru will now go directly to SKC to drop-off their own students and then onto WBHS to drop on Thames Hwy before continuing to OIS and WGHS stops.

This should mean that some SKC students will arrive at school a little earlier than previously, and no students will have a later arrival than usual. The afternoon routine will remain unchanged.

These new routes have been developed in response to identified safety concerns in the mornings at the Waitaki Ave bus interchange. Parents are asked to contact Ritchies directly if they require further information.

With these changes we also ask that caregivers dropping off are mindful of the one-way system given more buses will be coming up the driveway.
