TO CATCH THE BUS FROM SCHOOL
Students will line up inside the teardrop gates for each bus service in order of Junior School, Middle School and then Senior School students
Travelling to and from school couldn’t be easier with Aquinas College being well positioned near major arterial roads and multiple public transport options. Our local community has dedicated cycle lanes on some larger roads and well maintained treelined footpaths
Whether you choose to drop you son off at school, cycle, or use the College provided bus service, you will find all the information you require here to assist.
SMARTRIDER
Students from Year 4 and above are eligible to utilise Buswest services.
Permission outside this age range must be requested in writing to our Head of Junior School.
All students are eligible to be issued a Student SmartRider when they commence school. A Student SmartRider is required to use any public transport, including College provided Buswest services
If students lose or forget their Smartrider, they are to purchase a replacement card and a temporary pass from the School Office.
Before exiting the gate, the duty teachers will check students in line for their SmartRider. Students without their SmartRider can be denied service.
BUS

Please see overleaf for important information.
