Bus travel

Cowper Public School is serviced by two separate bus companies. Wards Buses operate through Brushgrove and surrounds and Busways operate north and along the highway.

All infant children (K-2) are entitled to free bus travel.  Primary children living beyond a radial distance of 1.6km are also entitled to free travel.  Full information and application forms for free bus travel are available online.

Primary children living within the 1.6km radial distance are able to use the bus to and from school and are requested to pay on boarding.

If your child travels by school bus:

  • Your child is expected to show good manners to the driver and other passengers.
  • Send a note for the driver if he/she is to set your child down at other than the normal stop.
  • Students’ bus behaviour is monitored and their bus pass can be revoked.

Getting to and from school safely

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

  • driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
  • being a good role model
  • never calling your child from across the road
  • using the safest place to cross the road.

For parents and carers of younger children

Discuss with your child how to be safe when:

Also talk about and practise:

  • safe travel routes
  • plans for when unexpected things happen
  • what to do in wet weather.

Subsidised school travel

Transport for NSW provides subsidies to assist school students.

  • The School Student Transport Scheme provides eligible students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school.
  • The School Drive Subsidy may help towards the costs of driving children to school if you live in an area where there is no public transport.
