Private Bus Travel
We are currently rolling over students from 2025 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, will not require private bus travel) for 2026, please contact the School Bus Services Administrator on 5366 4800 or email bus@bmg.vic.edu.au to discuss. If your child/ren will not require a private bus service in 2026 and parents do not advise us, your child/ren will be allocated to a private bus and fees will apply.
Allocated Roll Call Stops
If you have changed your child/ren’s stop that 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.
Student ID Cards
All students must carry their student ID cards for any bus related travel – ie: private bus travel, late bus travel, excursions and camps. Any student who has lost or misplaced their ID card is required to obtain a new card from the ICT Department.
Students travelling without an ID card may lead to them not being eligible to travel on their required bus for school commutes, excursions or camps.
Student Bus Stop Arrival Times in the AM
Students are required to be waiting at their designated bus stop a minimum of 5-10 minutes prior to the bus departure time noted on their bus timetable.
Disembarking the Bus Safely
A reminder to parents of students disembarking their bus – for the safety of all, children should NOT cross the road in front of the bus. Children should wait on the kerbside, wait for the bus to pull out of its stop and cross the road at the rear of the bus in order to have a clear line of sight. Drivers cannot see if students are waiting to cross the road in front of the bus before they pull out of their stop. It is suggested that parents proceed to the next intersection or roundabout, and not turn their car in front of the bus.
