Where and How to Catch the Bus What Happens If... Student FAQs For Newton and Salisbury, your bus stop is on the same side as Gleeson. The buses stop at Pedare first so won’t be there when you arrive. CHECK WHICH BUS YOU ARE BOARDING if unsure by asking the driver - “is this the Salisbury or Newton bus?” Something goes wrong? Make sure you have your parent/s’ phone number you can contact them on. The bus (to school) is running late? They usually notify the school and we let care group teachers know. I forget something on the bus? Your parents can contact Kanga to check for lost property I’ve run out of credit on my account? Kanga will not turn any student away, and you will still be allowed to board. The driver may write down your name to follow up later. I lose my ID card or fob? You can use your unique pin (first 3 letters of your first name, first 5 letters of your surname) until you have ordered a new ID card at the front office and paid the $10 replacement fee. I’m concerned about kids’ behaviour on the bus? Speak to your Care Group teacher or House Leader ASAP. I have spare change - can I use that? No. The advantage of BusMinder App is Kanga do not have to carry change or handle money anymore. It is fully cashless. For Mawson Lakes and Collinswood, you need to cross over the student crossing to the opposite side to Gleeson. The buses should be there already. CHECK WHICH BUS YOU ARE BOARDING by asking the driver - “is this the Mawson Lakes or Collinswood bus?” Tap your Student ID card or fob on the card reader, as you get on AND off. If you are a new student or have lost your ID card, tell the driver you need to use your pin (first 3 letters of your first name and first 5 letters of your surname). They will ask you to enter it. To get off the bus, you must call out to the bus driver “next stop” Boarding the Bus to Return Home Once your BusMinder account is setup, you are ready to catch the bus!
