What time do busses leave College after school?

Buses Leave the College after school at around 3.17pm. Students must go straight to their bus after school.

Where do students catch the bus from after school?

The bus controller will notify students of the locations of each bus in the school bus bay at the end of each school day (these do change sometimes so it is always good to double check the number on the side or front of the bus before you get on)


Where do students catch the bus from before school?

There are several bus runs to the school with the Go Bus Company who provide the service. Go Bus oversees school routes. If you would like any information on bus routes, please contact Go Bus on 06 858 5194.
