Being the only Christian Special Character Primary School in South Canterbury our families have several options for transport support for children to attend school.  This could be either on the parent-run school mini bus, Aroraki School Bus Service or School Transport Assistance.

School Minibus - Our school minibus, driven by volunteers, travels to and from Temuka.  Details of the service is available from the school office. Students who are entitled to School Transport Assistance can travel at no cost to the family.

School Transport Assistance - For students who live outside the Timaru city limits and if either of the following applies are likely to be entitled to either free bus service to the school or School Transport Assistance.  School Transport Assistance is paid directly to a nominated account at up to $4.72 per student per day.  For School Transport Assistance application forms click here or contact the school office.
