BUS SERVICE

We offer five dedicated bus routes connecting students living north, west, south and east of the College:

• Aldinga
• Blackwood
• Kangarilla
• Mount Compass
• Seacliff

The College has partnered with Willunga Charter to provide our bus services.

All buses arrive at the College by 8.35am and leave at 3.30pm in the afternoon.

All students must be at their designated stop at least 5 – 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time.

A number of public bus services also operate from the Woodcroft Community Centre.

Registration to use Bus Service
Parents wishing to utilise the school’s bus service should contact the Main Administration Office to register their intention to use the service, and obtain further route and bus pass information.

Bus Passes & Willunga Charter Parent App
Our partnership with Willunga Charter will allow parents to utilise the Willunga Charter App. The app will enable parents to receive real-time notifications of their child/ren’s travel.

Students will use a ‘Tap On – Tap Off’ smartcard when using the bus service, which will also allow the College and parents to monitor students bus usage.

The current cost structure will remain unchanged, and for new families to the College a cost per trip for your child will be determined at the time of issuing the smartcard. The standard trip cost is determined based on the distance being travelled to, and from the college. It will be either a $2.00, $3.00 or $4.00 charge per trip dependant on distance.

Topping Up Your Smartcard
To ensure uninterrupted travel on the College busses, parents will be required to ensure that an appropriate credit balance is maintained on their child’s card to cover their expected level of travel. Card balances are accessible via the App and low balance warnings will be messaged to parents once a card reaches a certain low value threshold.

Topping up your card must be actioned via the College Accounts Department, by purchasing travel credit starting at a minimum value of $50.00. Larger amounts of credit can be purchased to cover those students who are frequent travellers and those who are charged higher value per trip costs.

Travel credit will be charged to your account and payment is required when it appears on your next account statement.

If a smartcard has been lost or no longer works, a new card will need to be purchased from the College Finance Office at a cost of $5.50 each. Please note that the initial card issued to a student will be complimentary.
