Transport To and From the College
Students at St Joseph’s College have access to a number of public transport services and a range of dedicated bus routes to support them with their journey to and from the College.
Regular and reliable bus services provide transport from a number of locations in the South Eastern and Outer Eastern Suburbs to the College. Public buses and Contract school buses also service the College. These buses are provided by the Department of Education in conjunction with PTV and local bus companies.
A larger map of all routes and list of all travel times (including public buses/train services) is also available for download on our Website.
PTV Bus Applications
As preparations for the 2021 School Year continue, a reminder that Public Transport Victoria (PTV) requires all travellers wishing to access PTV operated school buses (Macclesfield, Silvan and Cockatoo buses) to submit travel applications each year.
To apply for travel, parents must log in to the School Bus Management System (https:\\schoolbusapplication.ptv.vic.gov.au) and select ‘Renew Application’ for their son(s).
Once you have submitted your renewed application, the School Bus Management System will assess your application and send you a travel offer. Please log back into the School Bus Management System and manage your offers. This will ensure your son is approved to travel on a PTV bus in the 2021 School Year.
Families who live 4.8 km or more from the College by the most direct route may be entitled to receive a Travel Conveyance Allowance if St Joseph’s College is their nearest Catholic College. PTV will advise the relevant travel fare should you not be eligible. More information regarding this is provided by PTV during the registration process.
Applications for bus travel in 2021 are currently being accepted and processed by PTV. If you require assistance to login to the School Bus Management System, renew your son’s travel applications or you are unsure of your son’s travel status, please contact Public Transport Victoria on 1800 800 007.

A map of the College Chartered Bus Routes (Narre Warren and Springvale) is available on our website. In the event any of these routes are under subscribed the bus may be cancelled or the route altered. Further updates will be uploaded to our College website should there be any changes.
