DPS Monarch International School Transport

DPS-Monarch International School has an efficient transport system supervised by Qatar Transport Authority-trained bus Supervisors and headed by the Transport Executive. We have fully equipped, well-maintained school buses for students’ transport. All buses are provided with an advanced GPS, special security system, and cameras to ensure the safety of students. The buses operate inside and outside the city, providing our students with safe, efficient, and timely bus facilities. As every child’s comfort is our priority, our trained staff takes utmost care to give the children a safe journey to and from school. DPS-Monarch has well-trained drivers and bus attendants in all the buses to help the students.

 An exclusive vehicle workshop takes care of the maintenance of school buses, including air-conditioning in the bus. All safety equipment, as specified, is being provided inside the bus [Fire extinguishers, first aid box, etc.] The Bus staff are given training continuously to reinforce the importance of the student’s safety while they are on the school buses, for example, the importance of wearing seat belts while the bus is on the move. A daily attendance sheet in the bus with students’ details and parents’ contact numbers in it.

 Bus movement on the campus is strictly monitored with the help of the transport supervisor and support staff. The Transport Executive is responsible for training and day to  day monitoring of the duties of the support staff. MIS has a school bus policy and a field trip policy; a ready reckoner detailing the objectives and responsibilities while the students are in the bus and while on a field trip. Arrival, Dispersal, etc. are monitored and the school has given high priority to safety and security of the children in the buses and in the campus.
