If your child/ren do not require a private bus service in 2026 and parents do not advise the school, your child/ren will be allocated to a private bus and fees will apply.

If you have changed your child/ren’s stop at which 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.
