School bus
We are fortunate enough to have access to school buses run by Go Bus Gisborne. The buses are free for children who live and travel within our school zone. However, if you live outside of our school zone and travel in to attend Makauri School or use the buses to travel outside of the school zone at the end of the day, the buses have a fee. Travel outside of the school zone is not covered by the funding provided by the Minsitry of Education. For out of zone travel each trip costs $1.50. 10 trip concession cards can be purchased from the office.
