Code of Conduct on the Bus

The highest standards of behaviour are expected on the bus to and from the College.

The Board of Governors, and staff of the College have agreed the following Code of Conduct for our students.

1. Place bags on over-head racks or laps, nowhere else at any time.
2. Stay in your seat (if one is available) while the bus is moving.
3. Do not shout out, misbehave, throw items, leave litter, or in any way annoy others.
4. Do not deface bus property in any way.
5. If standing remember to hold onto the supports provided, do so beyond the bus platform and not in close proximity to the driver.
6. Do not rap windows, or in any way communicate with any member of the passing public.
7. Students should carefully alight from buses at specified points.
8. Show courtesy to all members of the public eg. give up seats to elderly passengers.
9. Thank the driver when leaving the bus.

The Manager of Translink has agreed that should any of our students misbehave on the buses they will be excluded from traveling on that route for one day.  If the student persistently misbehaves then he/she will be excluded permanently by the North Eastern Education and Library Board.

The aim of the Code of Conduct is to safeguard you whilst traveling on the bus.  Good behaviour on the bus also contributes to the good name of our College.
