Travelling to University Campus

One other option available to students is the bus from Plenty Campus to University Campus. This is a private Ivanhoe Grammar School bus service which will travel from Plenty Campus along Plenty Road to University Campus. This service is available to all students and will be suitable in particular to those:

• living near Plenty Campus and those travelling from longer distances (e.g. Kilmore, Wallan, Eden Park or Kinglake) who may choose to make their way to Plenty Campus to connect to this bus service rather than travelling directly to and from University Campus

• living along this bus route, particularly those living in the vicinity of Plenty Road

• travelling on public transport who want to connect to this service – one of the last stops is La Trobe University’s Central Transport Hub and it will loop twice from La Trobe University’s Central Transport Hub to University Campus, so students travelling on public transport can connect to this bus service as part of the last leg of their journey.

An annual bus fee will apply to use this service, as it does with other Ivanhoe Grammar School private bus services. The bus fee does not apply if your child is only catching this bus from La Trobe University's Transport Hub (e.g.they are only catching it for that one stop).

Roll Call System

The bus management software will allow students to tap on/off the school buses using an access tag (attached to school bag). Parents will be able to view their child's journey live via the app, see when their child taps on/off, and receive notifications. Students will require a bus tag to travel.

Once parents have opted in, the School will provide the following information to Dysons Bus Service to facilitate parent registration: Student's first and last name, year level, student ID, home address, parent email & mobile. Information provided will generate parent invitations to register, inform design of bus routes, and facilitate the mailing of bus tags to home.

Further information about travelling to and from University Campus at the start and end of the day, including travel to co-curricular activities, is on our parent and student portal: Ivanhoe Connect, which is made available to families on enrolment.
