Transport
Buses
Students are eligible for funded transport to school (school bus, public transport, conveyance allowance) when they attend their zoned school. You can check your child’s zoned school here: Find My School.
For safety and operational reasons, students are only permitted to travel on their assigned bus and use their designated bus stop. However, all students have access to the Martyrs 683 public bus and the Special Service to Woori Yallock in the afternoon. Students should carry their Student ID card, once issued, for identification purposes while using the bus service.
For any questions, please contact Ms Joanne Bishop at the College or via email at joanne.bishop@education.vic.gov.au

Bush Fire Season
In the event of a major fire that threatens public safety, the emergency services may close roads or areas, thereby preventing students and cars entering. Students and buses will remain where they are until it is safe to travel, in which case students would remain supervised at the school until collected by parents/guardians or alternative arrangements have been made.
Bicycles
Students who ride a bike to school, can safely store it in the Bike Shed (next to the Library) during the day. Students are not permitted near the bikes during the school day. It is the student’s responsibility to store their bike in the Bike Shed. The school accepts no responsibility for lost or damaged bicycles.
Cars
Parking is available at the discretion of the school for those students driving cars. The school accepts no responsibility for damaged vehicles.
