Increased attendance at leisure driving and driving to more clubs

This is an enhanced service for families in Hafnarfjörður, which was revived in autumn 2017. The leisure bus operates every weekday, running from ten after-school clubs to numerous leisure centres and sports clubs in Hafnarfjörður. Families in Hafnarfjörður make good use of the service, which is best demonstrated by the increased attendance. The leisure transport service for the 2019-2020 school year begins on Monday, 2 September. Pick-up points are all primary schools in Hafnarfjörður, and drop-off points are various leisure centres and sports clubs, such as the School of Choreography, the Music School, Bjarkirnar, FH, Haukar, SH, Hafnarfjörður Badminton Club and Golf Club Keilir, or wherever children are registered for training in Hafnarfjörður. The service is available for all pupils in years 1-4 for training sessions starting at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., and will be provided every weekday until the Christmas holidays, except for
The bus service will be suspended during the winter break. As before, the service is free of charge for parents. Employee

journey and ensures the safety of the children on the bus and that they go to the right place. Children who are not registered at the after-school club in Years 1–4
can also use the ride, but it is the parents' responsibility to register them and
Ensure they arrive on time at the starting point for the leisure transport. Parents collect the children when the session has finished.

New registration system – Vala

The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður has introduced a new and user-friendly registration system for its after-school clubs, which simplifies all registration and organisation. Training schedules are now available for most sports clubs. It is recommended to register children for training sessions first and then for the transport service, as everyone will get a place. Registration for the transport service takes place via My Pages under the selection: Primary schools/Registration for after-school club. From there, one goes to Vala.
