The purpose of the Code of Conduct for School Students Travelling on Buses (Code) is to provide guidelines for those involved in the safe travel of school students on buses. This includes Parents/Guardians, Bus Drivers and the students expected behaviour to keep a safe environment for all.
The Code applies to all primary, middle and secondary school students in Queensland who use buses either to travel to and from school or for other school-related activities, for example, school sports, excursions and camps.
