Dear parents,
We are happy to start a new school year 2024-2025 with you and hope you have had a nice summer holiday. In preparation of your children’s first day back to school, please find below information on the organisation of the APEEE Transport service.
Please find below a recap of how the APEEE school bus service will be operating for this school year.
- School buses will be operating as normal from the morning service from the first day of school, Wednesday 4th September onwards. For the first day of school, the return home departure is exceptionnally set between 1 pm and 1.10 pm.
Delays may occur on the first days of school. We apologise for this inconvenience and thank you in advance for your patience.Please make sure your child and their teacher (if your child is in Nursery and Primary) know the bus number that they need to take in the afternoon. We highly recommend adding the information to your child’s school agenda or until receiving the agenda, on a paper in their school bag, clearly indicating the information.
School buses will be open to all pupils who are registered for the services.
Bus routes and stops have been re-planned to ensure as much as possible for the maximum journey time to remain around 1 hour for pupils. This means that your bus route number or bus stop location and timetable may have changed. Thank you to verify your transport details in your Secured Zone.
Please note, some bus stops may have changed to the other side of the road so please check location carefully.
Afternoon school bus service for Woluwe
There are two afternoon bus services for the Woluwe site, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 3.30 pm and 4.20 pm, except on Wednesday when there is only one departure at 1 pm (a departure at 1 pm is organised on Fridays, only for Afterschool Childcare Services for Nursery, P1 and P2).
Primary and Nursery pupils have priority access to the 3.30 pm bus, since they are not allowed to use the bus departure at 4.20 pm. Secondary pupils may use the 3.30 pm bus service only if there are seats available. If there are not sufficient seats available, they will be invited to take the 4.20 pm service. Secondary pupils accompanying a sibling in the Nursery or Primary section have priority over other Secondary pupils for the 3.30 pm service.
Only Secondary students allowed to leave the bus alone can take the 4.20 pm bus as supervisors are not present yet on all buses. Please note that the 4.20 pm buses have a different bus number than the 3.30 pm buses.
Afternoon school bus service for Evere
There is one afternoon bus services for the Evere site, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 3.30 pm, except on Wednesday when there is only one departure at 1 pm (a departure at 1 pm is organised on Fridays, only for Afterschool Childcare Services for Nursery, P1 and P2).
Only pupils who are registered for the bus service may use it. To register, please go to your Secured Zone. If you are already registered, you do not need to take any action, your registration continues for the next school year. If you wish to stop using the service, please unregister in the Secured Zone.
Additional information
If you pay for the bus service yourself, you will be automatically invoiced as of 4th September unless you unregister before that date, so please check your billing details in the Secured Zone.
Bus passes will be distributed as follows:
- By the teacher for children in Nursery and Primary school;
- In the class letterbox (office of the Educational Advisors) for pupils in secondary school.
The APEEE school bus service is only open to pupils; parents are not allowed to board the bus. New parents may therefore wish to bring their children to school themselves on the first day.

We wish you a good start of the school year !
