In addition to the Public Transport Victoria (PTV) services to our Keilor East campus, the school runs 9 charter buses in the surrounding areas of the Keilor East campus to assist many families and students with transport needs.

The PEGS charter bus service uses RollCall software and requires students to tap on and off using their PEGS student ID card.  This system offers considerable advantages in the event of an emergency.  Parent / caregiver consent for the school to share your child’s name, student ID number, year level, bus route, and bus stop with our RollCall software supplier is a condition of booking and use for the School’s chartered buses.  Parent consent is collected as part of the booking process.  Information about the RollCall software privacy policy can be found on the company website at www.rollcall.com.au .

Each charter bus is fitted with seat belts, and we ask for your support to discuss with your child/ren the importance and adherence to wearing the seatbelts when travelling on the school charter bus services 

It is not permissible for children in Prep to use the bus services.  Junior School students in Years 1 to 3, may catch the bus services only if accompanied by an elder sibling.

Bookings for charter bus services are made through Try Booking, and open at the beginning of Term 4 each year for the following school year.
