Buses

Ahipara School has a Town Bus service which is a private service organised by the school to assist parents who choose to send their children to Ahipara School rather than send their children to their closest school. If they wish to use this bus, rather than provide their own transport, they have to share in the cost of the service. The School Board of Trustees subsidizes some of the expenses and reserves the right to decide who is eligible to access this service.

Please note that at present there are NO spaces available for our Town Bus service. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.


There is also a bus service available for families and whanau who live on Roma Rd, Foreshore Rd or live in the area of Wainui/Manukau Road. Please speak to School administrator regarding the costs of the Bus.
