Prayer to St. Christopher while Travelling
Prayer to St. Christopher while Travelling
Dear Saint Christopher,
Protect us today in all our travels along the road’s way.
Give your warning sign if danger is near, so that we may stop while the path is clear.
Be at our windows and direct us through, when the vision blurs from out of the blue.
Carry us safely, to our destined place, like you carried Christ in your close embrace.
Amen.

Rules of Conduct on School Buses
Rules of Conduct on School Buses
Riding on a school bus is a privilege, not a right. Students are expected to follow the Student Code of Conduct on all school buses and school transport vehicles. These rules apply whether students are travelling to school, to a school-related event, or on a field trip. The rules of conduct are set standards of behavior that ensure the safety of all students, and are the basis for the Student Behaviour Report Form used for inappropriate conduct.
A student guilty of misconduct may lose his/her privilege of riding the bus. Restoration of the privilege is at the discretion of the principal after consultation with the student, his/her parent or guardian and where necessary, the school superintendent.

Video Camera & Digital Video Recording Devices on Buses

Appeal of Suspension or Recommendation for Expulsion hearings may use video footage obtained on buses. You can read the Board's Transportation Policy for additional details.
