Transport to / from school

Students are required to travel directly to and from school each
morning and afternoon. They may not stop at shops on their
way.

School Bus: 
The Ministry of Education provides free bus transport to students living more than 4.8km from their nearest full primary or intermediate school. Buses are also available on a user pays basis. Details are available from local bus service providers.

Bicycles: 
The roads around Somerville Intermediate school are extremely busy and hazardous to cyclists. Parents are to take responsibility for allowing their child to cycle to school. Please provide a note to school if your child is to cycle. Students must wear a helmet and should know the road code. Bicycles at school are left at the owner’s risk.

Road Safety:
We ask that parents model aspects of road safety:

• In the way they use and respect pedestrian crossings.
• In the manner in which they park.
• In the way they use the loop road in front of the school.
