Buses

The College privately charters bus routes for our students, and our campuses may be accessed by numerous public services. Collectively, these services cover a broad area, including the Barossa, Mid North, Light Regional, northern suburbs, Adelaide Plains, and Gawler.

Bus services are supported through a subsidy from the College to keep fares as low as possible.

Please read the Student Bus Travel Expectations Policy and General Information document for expected student behaviour and procedures on days of catastrophic fire rating.

Please direct enquiries about buses to [email protected].

BusMinder cards are used to catch Kanga Coachlines buses.

Similar to a Metrocard, BusMinder cards are conveniently recharged online and fares (credit) are deducted as students tap on and off the bus.

BusMinder cards are purchased for $8 through the Qkr! app and collected from the Front Office. Bus fares are purchased through the BusMinder Parent app. Seats are limited to availability and must be purchased prior to travel.
