The 22-seater bus will be used for pre-school pick-up and drop-off, excursions, transition days, transporting children and parents to appointments.
"After a long 18 months, with the help of families, the community and grants, we're very happy to bring our brand new bus back to pre-school," pre-school director Kate Olsen said.
For 20 years, the pre-school has been hiring buses from local companies and GS Kidd Memorial School and slowly building funds for their own.
The bus will be wrapped in the coming weeks, ready for term two.
