Teachers

Across this site, you’ll find interactive games and quizzes for students to attempt independently. In addition, this section aims to provide teaching resources which are designed for classroom use. They will contribute to PSHE by getting students to think about the importance of public transport, the environment and by behaving responsibly in the community.

Activities are aimed at specific age groups of children, focussing on key subjects within the curriculum.

News: Concessionary Fare Information

Please note that from Sunday 1 April 2012 the concessionary fare for young people aged 5-15 and full-time students aged 16-18 fares on buses and trams increased from 50p to 60p. Local rail fares remain at half fare.

These changes apply to children under 11 years of age and the following travel pass holders: 

• MegaTravel Pass holders
• 16–18 Student Pass holders
• Mi Card holders (travelling before 9am and after 9pm if you have a combined Mi Card MegaTravel Pass, or a Mi Card and a separate 16-18 student pass)
