8. Bus Behaviour
Each bus will have a teacher whose responsibility it is to ensure satisfactory behaviour on the bus. Students who do not comply with these regulations will be reported by the teacher to SMT. Should a student be reported for unsatisfactory behaviour, either of a serious nature or frequently, parents will be notified and you will be warned that a subsequent referral will prohibit you from travelling on the school bus for a period of two weeks. In this case, parents will be responsible for arranging alternative transport to and from school. Students must wear full school uniform when travelling by bus.
9. Anti Bullying
UDIS is determined to ensure you have a learning environment free of any form of bullying. Therefore if at any time you do not feel safe at school, or are concerned about the safety of another student, inform your teacher immediately. You will be listened to and supported to ensure a positive and safe resolution.
