Director of Students Report

“Holidays at last” – I have had several students say this to me during the week and I think we are all ready for a break. I am proud of the way our students have approached and handled the year, with many meeting challenges they did not think were possible, tasks that seemed too hard, friends/people they had to learn to ‘get along with’ and developing more of the attributes of a Monivae learner – kind, caring compassionate with an education focus. Well done everyone. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a relaxing break filled with fun and laughter with your families. 

Bus Information for 2025

2025 Travel Offers

Families have been emailed travel offers today from the Student Travel Assistance Portal for bus travel in 2025. Families have until 14 December 2024 to accept travel offers for 2025.

If your school is communicating with families regarding 2025 travel arrangements, please encourage families to:

·      review bus travel offers in the Student Travel Assistance Portal

·      check all traveller details are correct

·      if families have changed address or school and their travel offer is incorrect, they will need to decline their travel offer, update their address in their profile (if required) and then submit a new travel application

·      accept offers prior to the expiry date.

In the coming days, the Student Transport Unit will email a list of the 2025 travel offers to you for follow-up with families. You can also log-into STAP and use the Traveller Search function to see the status of a student’s travel application.

Bus Service Waitlist

Where bus services have reached capacity, some students have been placed on a waitlist. The Student Transport Unit reviews the waitlist every day and when a seat becomes available, the system will automatically email a travel offer to families. Priority of access is given to eligible students.

Monivae College Shuttles

Travellers on the School Bus Network are allocated a Shuttle, it is expected that each traveller use the correct shuttle.  It is vital that students travel on the allocated shuttle. Should students choose to travel with a friend and an emergency arises we are unable to account for the correct student.

Please take note of the Shuttle Number and the corresponding country bus.

Monivae students that travel on the Wallacedale Bus No 18 – stay on that bus for shuttle to Monivae along with St Mary’s students.
