Transport – Service Provider

 

Routes are sorted according to the respective localities in a way to prevent long trips, before and after Events. Each route will reflect the group your child is placed in.

For friends and siblings to be together during the Event, student must be commuting in the same van. In this scenario, if your child has friends/siblings attending Whiz summer camp and wish to be in the same group, please contact the service provider in advance so that one avoids any disappointments.

Where possible Transport Service is provided on a door-to-door basis. Factors that may hinder the service are narrow allies, rural areas, and outskirts such as e.g. Wied is Sewda(Zebbug), Bahrija and Imtahleb (Rabat), Armier (Mellieha), etc. If you live in an area such as the ones mentioned above, please contact Transport service provider.

Please inform the service provider if the address listed in the application will not match the pick-up and drop off location. Drop off and pick-up location should be the same or at least in the same locality as naturally this will hinder the objective of keeping the routes as short as possible. For any clarification, please contact the service provider.

Drivers will contact you a week (approximately) prior to commencing this year’s Whiz Summer Academy and provide the time of pick up. Please adhere to the time provided to avoid any delays. A 3-minute waiting time is to be respected by the driver in which he is to make at least one call to the parent/guardian. Kindly take into consideration that the time provided might differ once the route settles down according to the daily traffic.

Please encourage your child to remain seated during the duration of the trip and that the wearing of a seatbelt is a must. Any behavioural misconduct will be communicated to you by the driver or Whiz Team members. Persistent behavioural issues and bullying will not be tolerated and exclusion from transport service may be considered and in certain cases might not include a refund.
