School Bus

South Island School offers extensive school bus services across Hong Kong Island. Our bus service is operated by Kwoon Chung Bus Services. For inquiries, please call 3193-9389.

Most students will be picked up near their homes or at key public transport hubs. Please be aware that this is not a door-to-door service. Students may need to walk or arrange additional transportation between their home and their designated pickup/drop-off point. Our school bus service ensures children arrive at school on time in the morning and are transported home safely after school in the afternoon.

These buses are not intended to duplicate the regular school bus service, nor do they provide door-to-door service.
