The buses are manned by trained personnel, including bus hostesses who have a
mobile phone for emergency contact. These mobile phones are also used for
swiping ID cards to mark their presence on the bus and in school. Students must
use their seat belts while on the school bus, as per the RTO directives.
The bus service will be available on those Saturdays when the whole school is
involved in any academic or co-curricular activity only. On all other Saturdays,
parents are required to make their own transport arrangements.
Parents/guardians must inform the school about any changes in the usage of the
School Bus service through the Parent Portal. The change in the return journey from
the school to home must be communicated at the latest by 11:00 am on the day
the change is requested.

The school has set up a Transport Committee which will monitor and ensure that
the buses deployed, and the services provided, conform to the standards and
guidelines issued by the state government towards ensuring the safety and well-
being of children using the school bus service.

h) Emergencies

within its capacity to ensure the safety and security of each student and when
appropriate, will act on advice or directives received from the appropriate
authorities.
The school conducts one emergency evacuation and one lock down drill every
