REMINDER - Bus Travel in 2025
Shepparton/Mooroopna School bus applications for the 2025 academic year are now open for all year level students requiring travel on a country bus (not town bus).
The Shepparton/Mooroopna School Bus website has developed a new and more efficient process for the School Bus Program bus applications.
Moving forward, parents can easily access and submit bus applications via Microsoft Forms. We believe this will help parents and ensure a smooth transition to the new process.
Simply click on the link below to complete the Bus Travel Application Form.
If you have any questions or require further details, please feel free to reach out.
Regards,
Linda Piastri
