BUS TRANSPORT
Students eligible for transport assistance and who travel on the Pekapeka and Reikorangi buses continue to be transported free of charge. Passes for these students will be managed through the school. Eligible students are those who live in excess of 2.5km east the railway crossing at Waikanae or 2.5km north of the Ngaio Rd/State Highway 1 intersection in Waikanae (predominantly those living in Pekapeka). Most students living in Waikanae to the west of the main highway are not eligible for transport assistance.

- For 2020 drivers will again be allowing several weeks at the start of each term for schools and families to organise their various passes. Drivers won’t be asking to see passes for the first two weeks. Drivers will be asking to see passes from week three.
- For 2020 the cost of a Mana Term Pass [for ineligible students travelling on MoE rural buses] will increase from $80 a term to $90 a term. The increase brings the Mana fare into line with Snapper fares for similar services.
