Walking school bus
26 Mar 2026

Kia ora Waitakere Primary whānau,

Thank you to those wonderful parents and student leaders who are now going to support the walking school bus. We have lots of student leaders to support us each day, however we still desperately need two parents for Tuesdays and two for Thursdays. If your child is the junior school and walks on the bus, then we need your support to ensure the bus can run every day.  Please email lmenzies@waitakereprimary.school.nz so we can put you on the roster, which will begin term 2.

Walking School Bus Reminders
19 Mar 2026

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for the parents who have already volunteered to walk with our bus, as always, many hands makes light work and we would love more volunteers. 

All students in Year 0-4 walk on the Walking School Bus, unless the office has received written permission (an email is fine) for them to walk with an older sibling.  Please be at the end of the bus to collect students by 3:15pm, with smaller numbers and the underpass open we are arriving more quickly.  

Thanks, 

The WPS Staff
