It is paramount that the conduct of Grammar students on buses is exemplary, for not only their own and others' safety, but also that the name of Townsville Grammar School students is held in the highest regard. At all times, students must behave in a manner that demonstrates mutual respect and care for others.
The following examples of unacceptable behaviours will not be tolerated:
- walking around the bus - (all students are to be seated and buckled up if belts are available)
- throwing of objects
- yelling, screaming, swearing or unacceptable remarks
- rude gestures
- bullying of any kind
- use of mobile phones/electronic devices in an inappropriate manner
N.B. No Junior School student is to use a mobile phone on the bus. This Code of Conduct and Behaviour Policy applies to all students catching either Townsville Grammar School buses or Sunbus buses to and from home and/or between campuses of a morning or afternoon on any given day, and travel to and from Sport and co-curricular activities.
The consequences of unacceptable behaviour on the bus may include an immediate suspension from bus travel for a specified period of time; Saturday detention; suspension from School; or any other consequence deemed appropriate by the School.
