Private Bus Travel 2026
We have rolled over current 2025 students’ private bus travel to 2026 private bus travel.
If your child/ren’s current bus travel arrangements are going to change or require to be changed (eg moving house, no longer requiring private bus travel) for 2026, please contact the School Bus Services Administrator on 5366 4800 or email bus@bmg.vic.edu.au to inform us of this change. If your child/ren will not require a private bus service in 2026, and parents do not advise us of this change, your child/ren will be allocated to a private bus and full year bus fees will apply.
Allocated Roll Stops
If you have changed your child/ren’s stop where they board or disembark as a permanent change, and have not notified the school, please contact the School Bus Services Administrator on 5366 4800 or email bus@bmg.vic.edu.au. This information needs to be up-to-date on roll call for emergency services and will assist in the planning for 2026 routes/timetables.
Wrong Stop Alert
If you are receiving a notification of WRONG STOP in your roll call App, please contact the School Bus Services Administrator on 5366 4800 or email bus@bmg.vic.edu.au so the correct stop can be updated. This is to ensure your child is allocated to the same stop for 2026.
