What if I would like an additional stop?

Our transport service is flexible and can consider adding additional stops if there is sufficient demand and the proposed stop aligns with current routes. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at accmarsdenpark@studentride.com.au for assistance.

What if my child needs different stops or routes during the week?

If your child requires travel on different routes throughout the week, you can select the appropriate routes for each day during booking.

If your child travels on the same route but needs to use different stops, please contact us at accmarsdenpark@studentride.com.au, and we’ll be happy to assist with your booking.

How does billing work?

Payments for the transport service will be managed through StudentRide. Parents are required to book and pay in advance for Term 1, 2026, either for the full year or per term during the booking window, which runs from 28 January 2026 to 2 April 2026. After this period, remaining seats will be available for ad-hoc or single-day bookings from Term 1 onwards. The booking window will reopen at the end of Term 2 for final semester reservations. Payment in advance is required to confirm seat reservations.

What are the booking options for my child for the next academic year?

  • Full-year or Term 2: Open until 2 April 2026.

  • Ad-hoc or single-day bookings: Available from Term 1, starting 28 January 2026.

  • Term: The booking window will reopen at the end of Term 2 (26 June 2026), with communication sent to parents beforehand.

Will I still be charged if I book a seat but my child does not travel?

Yes. Once a seat is booked, it is reserved for your child and cannot be allocated to another student.

If I cancel the booking partway through a term, will I get a refund?

No. This policy ensures accurate planning for routes, stops, vehicle capacity, and associated costs.

How do I cancel or give notice for the bus service?

Bookings must be made in advance for each term. If you decide to cancel the bus service partway through a term, the full term fee will still apply.

What if I need to amend my travel arrangements before the start of term?  

Please email accmarsdenpark@studentride.com.au and we will assist.

What should I do if the school bus is running late?

While our bus providers work hard to minimize delays, unforeseen circumstances like traffic or roadworks may cause disruptions. If the bus has not arrived, please wait at the designated stop for 10 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time. If the bus still has not arrived after this period, please contact our transport partner, StudentRide, at +61 (02) 8613 5349.

What if my child misses the bus?

To ensure a smooth pick-up, we recommend students arrive at the bus stop at least 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Please ensure students wait outside the car at the stop, as buses will not depart before the allocated time. However, if no one is visible at the stop, the driver may proceed.

If your child does miss the bus, parents or guardians will need to arrange alternate transportation to school. Kindly notify our Transport Team at accmarsdenpark@studentride.com.au if this occurs.

Cards for Boarding and Tracking

Students will be issued cards for seamless boarding and disembarking. These cards enable real-time tracking of your child’s journey to and from school. Parents will receive accurate updates and notifications through the StudentRide Parent App, providing peace of mind regarding their child’s commute.
