Introducing our Walking School Buses
Introducing our Walking School Buses
St Mary’s Catholic School Ellerslie, encourages safe, healthy and active ways to travel to school. The Walking School Bus programme is a parent-run initiative that receives support from the school and Auckland Transport.
Our buses walk children safely to and from school and there are three buses to choose from. They’re free, fun and a fantastic way to reduce traffic around our children at school (and the traffic headaches!)
Families join for a number of reasons and there are lots benefits for the children too...

Families join for a number of reasons and there are lots benefits for the children too...
- builds confidence and independence walking into the classroom for junior school
- great way to meet other school families
- reduce traffic around school grounds and the stress of finding a park nearby
- your child meets you in a safe place away from school traffic
- builds a support network for your child at school – they get to know a mix of children from different year groups who look out for each other
