Closed Weekend & Buses

Boarding Bus Service

Just a quick reminder that we are unfortunately unable to run the Boarding Bus Service in Term One for Closed Weekend. We will return to this service in Term Two. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope this is giving you enough time to plan for the Closed Weekend which is only two weeks away.

Closed Weekend

The Term One Closed Weekend is at the end of Week Five. Boarders will leave boarding after school on Friday 1 March and return after 4.00pm on Monday 4 March.

TRANSWA Bookings

For families who are booking their child on TRANSWA for the Closed Weekend, please forward a copy of your child/ren's itinerary via dianne.franzinelli@gsg.wa.edu.au so that we can arrange transport to and from the TRANSWA depot. It would also be helpful to receive itineraries for any other times of the year for both TRANSWA and flights so that we can offer your child/ren a smooth transition to and from their transport.

For students under the age of 16 years, TRANSWA requires parents/guardians to complete an Unaccompanied Minor Form if they are travelling without a Supervisor. A link to this form can be found here.
