PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW IF BUS SERVICES
ARE CANCELLED FOR THE DAY


When there is no morning service (therefore none that day) due to snow or floods, the Darfield High School Bus Controller and the Principal will consult with the Bus Contractors and Primary Schools to ensure a decision is made before 6.45am. This will allow schools to have the changes broadcast on 3ZB/ 1098AM / Fox FM Ashburton 94.9 / More FM 92.1 following the news and weather at 7am and 8am.

Darfield High School will set in place a call around for each bus route affected, using the bus lists that are kept in the School Office, so that students and their families know of the changes.

The Darfield High School website will be updated with the relevant details by 7.30am.

If no notification has been received and the bus has not arrived 30 minutes after its normal time, students should
return home.

Please do not call the Darfield High School Office as this will overload the phone lines and prevent outgoing calls.
