Penguin Bus: Updated Timetable
Effective Tuesday 22 July 2025
Due to road works on Tarneit Road, the Penguin Route will be affected at stop 1 in the am and stop 2 in the pm. The stop will be moved to 939 Leakes Road (PTV Stop). Parent parking is available in the Service Road. The updated stop will be effective as of Tuesday 22 July 2025. Parents have been notified via the BMG channels of communication along with an updated timetable.
Toolern Vale Country Service
There has been a stop change on the Toolern Vale service. This service provides free travel for those students who are eligible under the school bus program, but also provides Myki access for stops prior to the Toolern Vale roundabout. Myki travellers are not required to register for travel. Please contact the School Bus Services Administrator if you require an updated timetable.
This change will only affect the students not registered under the school bus program but are using the service as a public MYKI traveller, and only affects the pm service route. The service route which reflects the change will commence 21 July 2025.

Private Bus Travel 2026
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 this change. If your child/ren will 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.
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.
