College Buses
To assist with reducing travel times the College operates an optional bus service to the areas of; Chipping Norton, Moorebank, Wattle Grove, Holsworthy, Hammondville, Voyager Point, Pleasure Point, Sandy Point, Edmondson Park, Denham Court and Willowdale.
A nominal fee is charged to assist with the running costs. You will need to complete a booking form (refer to College website under ‘Current Students’ tab) and we will advise if seating is available due to the popularity of this service. Wait lists on some of our services exist so please apply as soon as possible.
The College expects that students who drive to College adhere to the College Student Code of Behaviour, as well as the road rules. This means that students will be expected to drive in such a way as to bring credit to the College and themselves. Driving to College is a privilege. A car/motorbike can be a very dangerous machine, and the rules that follow are designed to protect students. They are also the rules of the Anglican Schools Corporation that must be followed for our insurance.
The following extra points need to be noted: –
- Student must provide the College with a signed copy of the Parental Permission to Drive to/from College Form together with a photocopy of their Drivers Licence.
- Students on red ‘P’ plates may not carry passengers to or from College without previous written permission from the parents of the driver.
- Students on red ‘P’ plates may not carry passengers to or from College without previous written permission from the parents of the passenger.
- Students on red ‘P’ plates who wish to transport siblings must have prior written permission from parents and include the names of the siblings.
- Students may park in N Block car park or outside the College grounds and do so at their own risk. The College takes no responsibility for damage that may occur while the vehicle is parked.
- Students must follow all directions in regards to parking; otherwise permission to drive to College may be revoked.
- Students may not leave the College grounds during the College day for any reason without permission. Failure to adhere to this rule will mean an after-College detention.
- Students will not be allowed to access their vehicle during the College day nor will they be allowed to loiter around them, unless permission is granted by a member of the Senior Executive.
We expect that students will drive sensibly at all times and follow any directions given to them by staff. Students who fail to follow the College rules will be reprimanded appropriately. Students who do not have written permission to travel in a car or on a motorbike driven by another student will not be allowed to do so.
Many students travel to and from College by bus. If you live beyond a specified kilometre radius of the College you may be eligible to apply for a School Student Travel Pass for Bus and/or Train travel.
