All bus services have been designated their own information page on the College website with corresponding timetables and you will find the relevant Trybooking link on this page. This information can be found on the College website under Bus Service in the Enrolment tab

Q. How do I ensure I get allocated to a bus?

Commitment and deposit of $100 (plus 0.50c booking fee) via the TryBooking link available on the College website.

Places will be allocated on a first in, first served basis and capacity will be limited to 57 seats on the NORTH service, EAST service and WEST service.

The SOUTH service is currently limited to 22 seats. Should demand become greater than the number of seats available, the College may look at adding more seats.

Q. Can I book a morning or afternoon service only?

No. A partial service is not offered. Once booked, a seat is will be available for your use, both on the morning service and on the afternoon service.

Q. What happens when I am on the waiting list?

The waiting list will be managed by the transport team and you will be notified if a vacancy arises

Q. How will I know if my student has been allocated to a seat?

Once you have successfully booked on TryBooking and paid your $100 deposit, you have secured a place on the service for 2024.

Q. I have paid my $100 deposit, how and when do I pay the balance?

We will add the remaining bus charge to your school fee account at the start of 2024.

Q. What happens if I want to cancel use of the bus service?

You will be required to put your request in writing via email to transport@kolbecc.catholic.edu.au. The bus fee is non-refundable.

Q. What happens if I change address?

You can be transferred to another service provided there is capacity. If there is no capacity, we will reimburse you the charges on a pro rata basis.

Q. Can a new stop be added to the bus run if the bus does not stop near my house?

Our bus stops have been scrutinised for the past few years and we have found the scheduled route to be the most efficient. Our bus service is extremely popular and we have done our best to provide the most comprehensive route knowing that we won't be able to cater for everyone. We have worked closely with the bus company to ensure there is a balance between the number of stops offered and making sure that the bus arrives at school on time.

If you still require further information, please email transport@kolbecc.catholic.edu.au
