Bus Service

A school bus service operates to provide transport for students to and from the school at convenient times. There is a charge for the service on a 'per term' basis.

The College provides a number of buses to assist in transporting students to and from school. The buses currently service a wide area of the eastern and south-eastern suburbs. Each application to travel on the buses is assessed but it may not be possible to fulfil every request. All the buses operate under the currently legislated maintenance requirements. Matters of safety are viewed seriously. Parents are to provide a written confirmation of any variation to travel arrangements and ring the bus driver if transport is not needed on a particular day. Students and parents are requested to familiarise themselves with the bus rules listed below which students must adhere to at all times:

1.   Be on time at the bus stop
2.   Sit down and face the front - do not kneel on the seats
3.   Do not stand up or walk around in the bus while it is moving
4.   Speak quietly and do not use bad language
5.   No food or drink is to be consumed on the bus at any time
6.   Do not throw anything out of the windows - keep head, arms, etc., inside
7.   Do not damage or deface the bus in any way
8.   Do not harass, tease or bully other passengers
9.   Do not pull faces or make gestures to people outside the bus
10. Respect and obey the bus driver

Breaching the above rules will be dealt with severely, and may result in the student being refused access to the bus system.
Bus Transport Fees

Families electing to have their child/ren travel to and from school on the College's private bus system will incur fees for this service. These charges are to be paid separately from school accounts but the Office Secretary will pass on monies to the Bus Committee.

Note: All bus fees must be paid in full in advance. No students will be permitted to travel on the bus unless all fees are paid in advance.

Parents with enquiries should direct them to The Bus Co-ordinator Nunawading Christian College - Primary Campus on 9878 9927. Where fees remain unpaid, the student will be denied access to the service. See Bus Contribution List for costs.
