Low uptake of our shuttle bus service has resulted in a new timetable which will be in place from Wednesday 13 March.
New shuttle times:
8.00 am – from Wainuiomata
8.15 am – from Gracefield
8.30 am – from Wainuiomata
8.45 am – from Gracefield
3.00pm – from Wainuiomata
3.15pm – from Gracefield
3.30pm – from Wainuiomata
3.45pm – from Gracefield
Bicycles will also no longer be able to be put on the shuttle. This is because very few bikes have used this additional service in the past month.
Please note the shared path is open at the weekends and before 6am and after 4pm Monday to Friday.
Walking, cycling and scooting to school have many benefits for tamariki – exercise, independence, physical and mental health, decision making, risk assessment and road safety skills.
Do your kids walk, bike or scoot to school? What do you love about it?
