Travelling to school

… by school bus

If you travel to school on a school bus – be sure to keep your bus pass safe. If you lose your bus pass, please report to the School Office by break time to obtain a temporary pass – don’t leave it until the end of the day. The Transport Co-ordinator will be notified and a charge of €3 will be made for a new pass.

You may only travel on the school bus on which you have a reserved seat and you may not travel on another bus, for example to visit a friend’s house.

Your behaviour on the school bus is important – do not distract the driver, always remain in your seat and wear your safety belt until the bus has stopped. Any student who causes damage to a school bus or whose behaviour is poor, will have their bus pass withdrawn and any damage must be paid for. This will be a matter between the bus company, the student and their parents.

… by car, moped or brommer

All vehicles must drive slowly and with extreme caution on the school site – drivers should only use the marked pick up and drop off areas. When travelling to and from school, students are expected to act as representatives of the BSN and should drive carefully.

… by bicycle

If you cycle to school make sure that your bicycle is safe and complies with Dutch law – good lights are essential and reflective bands are encouraged. Although most people in the Netherlands do not wear cycle helmets, the school recommends that students wear them.

Always cycle with care and use the cycle paths – if possible, we recommend that you cycle to and from school with other students. You should not cycle with earphones – they significantly reduce your awareness of the traffic around you.
