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.

How are bus stops planned?

Bus routes are developed based on the home addresses of participating families and may change as new families join or daily patronage varies.
All bus stops are planned within 500 metres walking distance of a student’s home address.

Families should be aware that students are required to travel to and from their designated bus stop. Parents and caregivers may choose to accompany their child if needed.

For safety reasons, students in Reception to Year 4 will never be left at a drop-off location unless a parent or guardian is present to meet them.

At school, buses pick up and drop off students directly at the School gates, so students do not need to cross the road.
