Getting to school safely and easily
Students travel to Westbourne in a range of ways – from walking or riding to catching a public (PTV) bus or one of our dedicated charter buses.
School bus serviceEach day, our extensive school bus network connects students from across the inner north and west of Melbourne with our Truganina and Williamstown campuses. With growing demand, we review and adjust our bus routes yearly in September to make sure they continue to meet the needs of our families. Stops are selected based on where students live and road accessibility. Every student is allocated the closest available stop to their home. As well as daily morning and afternoon services, we also offer late buses from Monday to Thursday for students taking part in after-school activities or using school resources. All buses depart from the main bus bay on campus.
Bus fees and changes to travelBus fees are payable through the StudentRide app, where families can manage their child’s school bus travel arrangements and payments. A full term’s notice is required for cancellations; where the required notice is not provided, fees for the full term will continue to apply. In exceptional circumstances, the Director of Business may consider a fee adjustment for an extended absence. All students are required to carry their Westbourne student ID card while at school and when travelling on Westbourne bus services. Westbourne student ID cards are also approved by Transport Victoria for student concession purposes, allowing eligible students to use their school ID as proof of concession entitlement when travelling on public transport. Transport Victoria confirms that an approved school student ID can be used for this purpose.
Public transportStudents travelling on the Werribee Metro Line can get off at Williams Landing Station. From there, bus routes 150 and 151 stop directly outside the Truganina Campus via Marquands Road or Sayers Road. For current public transport routes and timetables, visit Public Transport Victoria.
