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 +6448878876.
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 scotscollege@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.
