The walking bus is run by Amesbury volunteer parents and is a fun way for kids to start the day and arrive safely at school full of energy and ready for their learning day.
Our first walking bus will be this Friday 30th October
Thanks to the wonderful support of our school and the Wellington City Council, students on the walking bus this Friday will receive a warm milo when they arrive at school, and a very cool wristband
And..from next week onward we'll be running the service on Wednesday and Friday mornings to school, with frequent walkers in with the chance to win cool prizes over the coming weeks
There are 3 different walking buses which run with each departing at 8:15am and arriving at school at 8:35am - further details on each route are further below in this message.(1) Erlestoke Crst(2) Waverton Tce/Westchester Dve/Amesbury Dve(3) Didsbury Gve/Amesbury DveStudents can jump onboard at any point along the bus route and parents are asked to wait with the kids until the walking bus arrives.The service is based on demand and is co-ordinated and operated by volunteer parents. If you'd like to volunteer as a bus driver on the odd occasion, or more often (no ongoing committment is required :) ) please complete the very short questionnaire in this linkhttp://goo.gl/forms/kMm8fYi0Zd so that we can contact you.
If you have any suggestions or concerns please feel free to catchup with Angela Natali (Matilda’s mum) either at school pickups/drop-offs or anytime on 0212724321, or email walkingbus@amesbury.school.nz. Your feedback and suggestions are a valuable input into tailoring the service to meet the needs of our Amesbury families.
