TRANSPORT Students who live more than 2 km (as the crow flies) or 2.9 km (by the most direct route) from the nearest college boundary are entitled to free bus passes. Private transport to the College should be only in the family car driven by a member of the family. The problems that arise from pupils accepting lifts, even from people known to them, are frequent and often serious. Parents are especially warned not to permit their sons/daughters to walk through the bush on the way to the College, even if it is the shortest route. This can be very dangerous.
TRAVELLING BY BUS Some students, who attend Ryde Secondary College and travel by bus, must take particular care to catch the right bus and to behave properly on it. If you misbehave, permission to travel on the bus may be refused. Remember that the buses leave shortly after lessons finish, and so you do not have the time to do anything other than move to the gate and catch the bus. You are not permitted to travel to and from the College in your sports clothes. You must change into your College uniform following sport or Physical Education. If you have any doubts about which bus to catch, contact the College office. Bus passes must be shown as you board the bus. BICYCLESCare must be taken when riding your bicycle to the College. Helmets must be worn. On arrival your bicycle must be "walked" through the College grounds to the storage area near the library. You are advised to secure your bicycle with a lock and chain while at the College and to look after your helmet. WALKING Some students live close enough to the College to walk. In no circumstances should any student attempt to hitchhike. Care should be used when crossing roads. Commonsense should prevail. SKATEBOARDS & SCOOTERS These modes of transport are not permitted at Ryde Secondary College.
CAR TRAVEL The College strongly discourages senior students driving cars or riding motor cycles to the College. However, if a vehicle is to be used, the following conditions must be met:- 1. Students driving vehicles must hold a valid driver’s licence, and conform to the road rules including wearing seatbelts and not driving in reckless or careless manner. 2. Students are strongly discouraged from traveling as a passenger in a vehicle driven by another student. 3. Where a bus is provided for an excursion it must be used. 4. Cars may not be parked within the College grounds. 5. Students must not go to their cars between arriving at college and leaving for home. 6. Students using cars during lesson time without the permission of the Principal will be suspended immediately.
