At Springbank students arrive at school in one of four ways; with family, via the Bay of Islands school buses, the Springbank North Van or by their own car (for Senior students only).

Family Transport

It is very important as a school community we work together to ensure the safety of everyone in the car park.  Our car park can be very busy at the peak times of morning drop offs and after school pickups.  We ask that everyone drives slowly at or blew the 10km limit.  Please take care and stop at the pedestrian crossing, give way to buses and hold your child’s hand in the car park.

Bay of Islands School Buses

Students are dropped off and picked up by the bus bay in the school car park.  A duty teacher is present for the after-school buses and will assist all students to board the correct bus. Please find below the timetable and route for the buses.
