NOTICE (From Pickering Motors)

Just a reminder there are No Rahotu North or South buses running tomorrow afternoon as Rahotu has a TOD, they will run in the morning for High School / other students.
In the afternoon students that transfer at Oaonui Hall from the Arawhata Bus onto the Rahotu South bus will need to get parents to collect them from the Oaonui Hall please.

Rahotu Secondary runs as normal.

Thanks. ... See MoreSee Less
