Bus Timetables

Morning  and Afternoon School Buses

Historically, school buses operate from Auckland Anniversary onwards. However, we advise students to check the AT website (details below) for up-to-date bus information.

Many of the public buses stop at Smales Farm, next to our school gate. Smales Farm does not allow parking for school drop off/collection and issues infringement tickets.

For morning school bus times and stops, and any information about the afternoon school buses contact the bus company concerned or contact Auckland Transport ph (09) 355 3553 or go to https://at.govt.nz/ click on ‘Bus Train Ferry’ on the top left side of screen. This is their Journey Planner and it will give you all the closest public transport options for a journey. If you want to see only school bus timetables, just click on ‘Timetables’ on the left, then click on ‘school timetables’ and scroll down and click on ‘Westlake Girls’. The direct link for Westlake Girls buses is:  https://at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferry/timetables/school-timetables/westlake-girls/
