Term 3 Buses

All private, public and country buses for both Maddingley and Woodlea Campus will begin operation on Day 1 of Term 3, Tuesday July 21 as per their usual timetable.

Late Bus Allocation and Student Sign Up

Students are required to sign themselves up for the relevant late bus by adding their names under the stop at which they will disembark. Sign-up must be completed before 1.30pm on the day of travel.

Students who have not signed up by 1.30pm will not be permitted to travel on the late bus. Parents will be contacted and asked to collect their child from school at 4.20pm. Students are still expected to attend their scheduled after-school class or activity.

Any student presenting at the bus quay after their after-school activity, having not already signed up for the late bus, will not be permitted to board. The student will be taken to Main Reception and parents will be contacted to collect them.

Late bus sign-up sheets are located in Main Reception.

The late bus fee is $15.00 per child, per trip, and will be charged to family school fee accounts at the end of each term.

ID Cards

Students must use their Student ID cards to tap on/off any BMG private buses.  Student ID cards are compulsory when boarding a private bus or attending any school excursions, camps, etc. and they must be always carried.

Students who board the bus repeatedly without their ID cards will receive a detention or further consequences. If your child has lost or misplaced their Student ID card, please advise via email to bus@bmg.vic.edu.au and a new card will be printed over the term break.

Student Permission Cards

Students in Prep Reception to Year 6 require a green permission tag on their bags if they are to disembark the bus to be picked up by someone other than their parent/guardian.  Students in Years 5 and 6 can disembark the bus on their own if they have a green permission tag on their bag for the driver to check.

Student Afternoon Bus Arrangement & Permission Notices are available on Schoolbox under School Letters.  Please return Student Afternoon Bus Arrangement & Permission Notices to bus@bmg.vic.edu.au.  Notification on the day that someone else will be collecting your child will not be accepted
