Bus
Tyndale Christian School – Strathalbyn thanks the Minister for Education, Training and Skills for funding the Regional School Bus Subsidy programme that is used to subsidise bus fees paid by our families. We provide six bus service routes dedicated to providing safe, affordable and convenient transport for your child to and from School.
Four of our services are operated by Willunga Charter in consultation with the School. We will continue to run the Mount Compass route internally. The Murray Bridge route will continue to be run by LinkSA.
A Bus Travel Authorisation Form will need to be completed annually for each student using this School bus service.

MORNING RUN
- Students need to arrive at School by 8:30am and it is important that all students using the bus service are at the appropriate location for pick-up at least five minutes before the scheduled time.
- Bus drivers are not able to wait for students who are late as this causes all students on the bus to be late for School. Younger students should not be left to wait for the bus on their own.
AFTERNOON RUN
- The buses leave the School at 3:25pm.
- Parents are advised to have a backup plan if they will be late to meet their child at the drop-off location. Parents must ring the school to advise us of these arrangements.
- Students will only be left at drop-off points when met by a parent or approved responsible person, unless written approval has been provided.
DELAYS
- When the bus is late arriving at the pick-up/drop-off point, parents are asked to wait 15 minutes after the due time before contacting the school.
- If the bus breaks down, alternative arrangements will be made by the bus driver or School with regard to picking up/dropping off students.
- When these break downs or other like emergencies occur, the school, where possible, will send a text message advising of the delay.
