Getting to School

Students who catch buses, which do not run along K'Road get off at Symonds Street and walk to school (approximately 12 minutes). There is also a connecting bus from the Downtown Railway Station to the School. You may find it helpful to call MAXX on 366 6400, to help you with determining the best route.
