Ensuring a Safe and Smooth Residential Trip

The Transport Department is fully prepared to support the upcoming residential trips, maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. Below are the key measures we have put in place to ensure every journey runs safely and smoothly:

🚌 Full Vehicle Inspection

All coaches and vans have undergone comprehensive safety inspections to confirm they are in excellent condition and ready for travel. This year, all coaches used for residential trips are single-decker for enhanced safety and comfort. On the morning of departure, the Transport Team will perform a final round of vehicle inspections.

👨‍✈️ Driver Training

All drivers have completed training on safe and responsible driving procedures and student safeguarding during travel. In addition, a spare driver will be assigned for each trip to provide immediate backup in case of any unforeseen circumstances.  All drivers undergo alcohol testing before each journey, ensuring every trip begins safely and responsibly.

🗺️ Route Inspection

All travel routes have been thoroughly inspected and reviewed. For the Year 4 residential trip, alternative routes have been planned to avoid sections of Rama 2 Road, reducing exposure to high-traffic or construction areas and ensuring a smoother, safer journey.

🚔 Highway Police Coordination

The Transport Team has shared detailed travel routes with the Highway Police and requested their support along the journey to ensure added safety and prompt assistance in case of any emergency.

📘 Evacuation Training for Teachers and Staff Accompanying Trips

All participating teachers have completed the mandatory Transport Safety and Emergency Evacuation video training. The Transport Team will conduct a bus safety demonstration, including how to use emergency exits, to ensure that the teacher representatives feel more confident while travelling with the students. Your children’s safety and comfort are our top priority — we are confident and ready for a safe, smooth, and enjoyable trip ahead!
