Free Bus Transport
To be eligible for free bus transport to and from the College, the student must reside more than 4.8km by the shortest trafficable route from the nearest high school. In order to obtain a bus pass, students must apply to the bus company.
The distance a family resides from a school in terms of Department of Transport Policy, is described as "The Distance from the parents residence to the State High School by the SHORTEST TRAFFICABLE ROUTE".
(Not necessarily the SCHOOL BUS ROUTE).

Student Drivers
Students under 18, who have obtained a Driver's Licence are permitted to drive to College provided that they return a student driver form.
Other students cannot be carried on an ad hoc basis.
Student drivers (under 18 years) are not allowed to carry other students as passengers without the written permission of their parents and the separate written permission of the parents of any passengers.
Permission forms are available from the Senior Campus Administration and must be returned for signature by the Principal/Deputy Principal.
Students are not permitted to drive other students on College excursions or to events which are a part of the College routine.
Students are also not permitted to drive themselves to College excursions or events for which a bus has been organised. Minimising bus costs per student relies upon the maximum number of students travelling by bus.
Students are not permitted to park vehicles in the College grounds. On street parking is available for students.
