College School Bus Service

Marist College Ashgrove currently operates two daily bus services in the morning and afternoon to assist students travelling to and from school. These services are in addition to the Brisbane City Council bus services that also operate within the area. The College bus services have several stops throughout each route which can be viewed via interactive maps on the College website. In support of delivering the considered transport service to which the College has committed, buses will only stop and pick up from designated stops. Students should only wait at designated stops in the morning and should not ask to be dropped off at any other stops in the afternoon. Any variation to this can create precedents and circumstances which negatively impact on all concerned.

The College values and encourages all parent and guardian feedback on College buses and makes every effort to accommodate bus route and stop requests. However, changes are not always possible due to impacts on other routes/services and/or total journey time. Bus routes and stops are reviewed bi-annually in May and December each year. For further details on the College buses and instructions for submitting feedback please visit the College website Getting to Marist - Marist College Ashgrove (marash.qld.edu.au).

Tuckshop Volunteers Needed

How Can I Help or Get Involved?

Many of our parents are keen to help in some way to contribute to the Marist community that we are so well known for. Two ways to do this are through volunteering in the College Tuckshop during the day, or through the Sports Canteens on the weekend.

If you would like to volunteer in the Tuckshop during the day, please click on the relevant link below. Our Tuckshop convenor Josie Loucas will take your details and be only too happy to welcome you into the Tuckshop volunteer family. If you are too nervous to volunteer on your own, there is always the possibility of signing up with a friend. Just let Josie know if you want to be there at the same time as a buddy and I know she will help you out. We have parents who leave at the end of their son’s schooling journey commenting on how much they loved their regular (weekly, fortnightly or even term-by-term) Tuckshop catch-up with friends over the years.

For Sports Canteen volunteers, please keep an eye out on the App for calls to sign up. Remember – if you feel more comfortable with a friend, please rope them in and take them along. The more the merrier!
