Bus Service
Pulteney operates dedicated bus services to provide families safe and convenient transport of students to and from school.
Our buses are operated by experienced and qualified drivers through Des’s Minibus, with a fixed timetable and routes. The bus service is available to students from Reception through to Year 12, at a fee of $5 per ride ($10 per return trip) per child.
We currently have two bus runs in the western suburbs and two bus runs that cater to families who live in the Adelaide Hills.

Would you like to submit an expression of interest for your child to participate in one of the above bus services?
Please note, the bus service is not a ‘door to door’ service. The bus routes are planned within 500m walking distance of students’ home addresses. Participating families need to be aware that their child/ren will need to get to/from the designated bus stop, and parents may wish to accompany them. Students in Reception to Year 4 will never be left at the drop-off location if the parent/guardian is not there to meet them.

The bus drops and picks up students from the School gates, so students do not need to cross the road.
