PRIVATE BUS SERVICE
About the Private Bus Service
PLC Sydney provides a Private Bus Service for all PLC Sydney students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. Each bus has been chartered and branded with PLC Sydney signage and operates during term time. Drop off and pick up is from the College. The morning bus run delivers students to school between 8.00-8.15 am and the *afternoon bus run departs at either 3.15 pm or 5.15 pm (depending on the route). Please note that Evandale girls are accompanied to and from their campus upon arrival and departure.
*Afternoon bus runs:
3.15 pm - Staff will meet students at the reception area (Meta Street) to direct students to the buses.
5.15 pm - Students will need to make their own way to the Young St bus zone. All students are to wait on the path near Studio Theatre. Students are to use the pedestrian gate once the bus has arrived. Staff will be at the bus zone to supervise the area.
Cost
Each student registered for bus travel will be provided with a unique bus tag and lanyard which should be permanently attached to her school bag. The tag is required to tap on and off the bus (similar to the Opal system).
All bus services are PAYG and a flat rate of $7.50 per trip.
New bus tags: $15.00 each, with a replacement tag or lanyard $8.50.
