There is a duty teacher who monitors the children as they leave Marsden at the end of the day. Please check individual routes for departure and arrival times.

Currently it is 7.35am and will now depart at 7.20am.

Cancelled Metlink Route #670 January 2020 – Replaced by Private Marsden Bus servicing:
Seatoun, Strathmore Park, Miramar, Kilbirnie, Hataitai, Roseneath, Oriental Parade, Railway Station, Northland
Marsden has hired a private bus to cover the route previously served by Metlink school bus #670 (Kilbirnie-Hataitai-Roseneath-Thorndon) which was cancelled for 2020 by Metlink.
After surveying Marsden families, considering demand for bus services in different neighborhoods of Wellington, and factoring in distance, timing, cost, and the safety of our students, the hiring of a private Marsden bus was considered the best option available.
