There are a
few transport providers available that service
the School. Some of their links are listed below;
Bus Pass Information
All current
students are automatically issued with new bus
passes for the new school year. All new students
will need to complete an application for school
bus travel and return it to the school office.
These forms will be issued at the Orientation
Day for new Year 7 students each year.
Bus passes will be routinely issued during the
first week of the school year from the College
office. Travel on school buses is permissible
without a bus pass for the first two weeks of
school until new passes have been issued to
students. New bus passes need to be issued whenever
the student changes address. Information on
school bus timetables is obtainable from Fearnes
on 6921 2316.

Private Vehicle Conveyance
Subsidy
Where there
is no public transport available parents can
apply for a subsidy towards transporting students
to school or to the nearest bus stop by private
vehicle. This applies only where the nearest
transport pick-up point is at least 1.6 kilometres
from home. To be eligible travel must be made
from home to school or transport pick-up point
both in the morning and afternoon. Application
forms for private vehicle conveyance are available
from the school.
Driving to School Policy
The following
steps need to be taken and agreed to before
students are permitted to drive to and from
the College.
• They have written permission from a
parent or guardian
• Any student travelling in the car of
another student can only do so with the written
permission of both parents/guardians (ie the
driver’s and the passenger’s). The
College recommends that siblings be permitted
and, at most, one other authorised person.
• All vehicles should be roadworthy with
each occupant having their own seatbelt.
• Vehicles must not leave the College
during day without the written authorisation
of the Principal, Deputy Principal or Head of
Welfare.
The acceptance of increased independence comes
with the acceptance of increased responsibility.
