Public Transport and Private Bus Services

The College is serviced by several Transperth buses, School Bus Service buses (SBS) and private buses, making it easy for students to travel to and from school via bus and train.

It is advised to plan your school route no more than two weeks out from the start of the gazetted school term using the Transperth Journey Planner. Services often change at the start of the school year. Journey planning less than two weeks out ensures you receive the most up-to-date information.

To make the transition to public transport options as easy and safe as possible, Transperth has put together a website which contains everything that parents need to know to help make your child’s move to independent travel as simple and stress-free as possible. Please visit Get on Board to access these resources.

To learn more about the Transperth buses that service Swan Christian College (subject to change), please download the Travelling to Swan Christian College booklet on the right or use the Journey Planner to access up-to-date timetables).

The Government of Western Australia has been providing Transport Assistance to Western Australian families for more than 80 years. The size of our state dictates that many families live great distances from their local school. School Bus Services relieves the burden on these families by providing free transport to eligible students to and from their nearest appropriate school.

SBS also provides orange school bus services for students with special needs.

If your child resides outside of the designated Public Transport Area, you might be eligible to apply for SBS transport assistance.

Please visit the School Bus Services website for the most up-to-date information on students eligibility for transport assistance. If your child is eligible, you can apply for transport assistance via this link: www.schoolbuses.wa.gov.au/TransportAssistance/OnlineServices/Howtoapply.aspx

Bus Behaviour

It is expected that all students travelling on buses will behave in a courteous and responsible manner at all times. As members of Swan Christian College, we are witness to Christ in the community – all our actions reflect on Him. For their safety, students are expected to take the most direct bus route and the earliest available connection. Students are held accountable for their behaviour while travelling unaccompanied to and from the College. Students are to:

be dressed in full College uniform
stand for adults
behave courteously and responsibly at all times while waiting for and on transport
do not push
do not shout
no eating or drinking on the bus
do not put your head, hand, arm or any item out of the window
if the bell has been rung for your stop, do not ring it again
carry your Smartrider or bus pass with you each day.
Similar courtesies are expected on other forms of public transport.
