College Bus Program
The College is well serviced by public transport and the College Bus Program operates buses through the surrounding areas. The College Bus Program assists parents by transporting students to College. Categories of eligibility determine whether a student travels at no cost or travels upon the payment of a fare. Students wishing to access a seat on a bus must complete an application form and parents/guardians must agree to the conditions of travel including, if applicable, the payment of a fare. Refer to Mount Erin College Bus Information Kit for details on eligibility and bus routes available.
Important Information regarding the Pearcedale Charter Bus
There are a number of students who reside in the Pearcedale area that are ineligible for free bus travel, as they are not attending their closest government secondary school and do not meet any of the Exemption Criteria.
The College has arranged to Charter a Bus that enables ineligible students to travel to Pearcedale in the afternoon. There is a charge per term, payable in advance, to travel on the Pearcedale Charter Bus. Once payment has been received students are issued with a Bus Pass for that term.
The College subsidises the cost of the Pearcedale Charter Bus to make it affordable for families. We will continue to provide this Service whilst there is sufficient demand.
