The school is often in contact with the bus operators to ensure that the standard of service is acceptable. It is important that the behaviour of all pupils on school buses is beyond reproach. In the interests of safety, pupils should not behave in a way which the driver might find distracting. Pupils who experience problems while travelling on the school bus should report the matter to Mr Lafferty. Pupils living more than three miles from the school are entitled to free transport provided by Perth and Kinross Council.
Forms are available from the school office.
Stagecoach Perth Bankfoot Service Buses Bus services run from the Craigie and Moncrieffe districts and travel directly through the city centre, to and from the school. Other services run from the Burghmuir and Oakbank districts, through Letham and Hillyland, and are suitable for conveying pupils to and from St Columba's. A number of pupils also travel by service bus from areas outwith Perth city. When details of enrolments are received by the school from pupils living in these areas, a transport programme will be put into place appropriate to the needs of the individual in accordance with the policy of the education authority. Pupils travelling on service buses are expected to conform to school expectations regarding standards of behaviour and courtesy to others.
