School Transportation
HSE provides safe, efficient and reliable bus services to all students. The school organizes, monitors and takes immediate action to safeguard students and ensure they are comfortable and safe at all times.
Parents must fill in a Transportation Form available at the Reception and pay the transportation fees according to the payment schedule. Parents are to contact the Transportation Office for bus numbers, pick up and drop off times, as well as, mobile phone numbers of the supervising bus matron. Parents can contact the Transportation Office.
Arrival times may vary during the first days of school while routes are being established. Students are supervised during the morning unloading and afternoon loading and attendance is taken in the morning and afternoon to ensure that all students are on the correct bus. Parents must notify the Reception before 11.00 am of any one time changes to travel arrangements and one week in advance for any permanent changes.
It is important that parents abide by the pick-up and drop off times given as bus drivers will only wait for 2 minutes. Authorized individuals must be present on the street to collect your child(ren). Supervising matrons are not allowed to leave other children unattended on the bus, hence, they cannot deliver your child to the door. In the case there is no one to collect your child in the afternoon, your child will be taken back to school until he/she is picked up.
