Late Bus Allocation and Student Sign Up

- Any student presenting at the bus quay after their after-school activity, without being allocated to the late bus, will not be permitted to board. The student will be taken to Reception, and parents will be contacted to organise collection.
- Late bus sign-up sheets are located in 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.
Allocated Roll Call 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 2027 stops, routes, times and timetabling.
2027 Private Bus Travel
All current students who travelled by private bus in 2026 have been rolled over to their current stop for 2027 private bus travel.
If your child/ren’s current bus travel arrangements are going to change (e.g. moving house or will not require private bus travel) for 2027, please contact the School Bus Services Administrator on 5366 4800 or email bus@bmg.vic.edu.au to discuss this change. If your child/ren will not require a private bus service in 2027, and parents do not advise us, your child/ren will be allocated to a private bus and fees will apply.
