Student Lost Property
During winter, we have had an influx of lost property that has been located throughout the school. To assist staff with returning items that may have been left behind in class, we strongly advise families to ensure the student name has been written on the tag so we may return lost items to the rightful owner. Any items that are found without a name will be kept for 2 weeks and if unclaimed, will then be donated.
Student Bus Travel Update
Please see below information from the Department of Transport and Planning regarding changes to the public bus network, which may affect student travel.
From 2 June 2024, changes will be introduced to the Geelong, Charlemont, Armstrong Creek, Torquay and Jan Juc bus network that will better match the travel demands of the community. Armstrong Creek, Charlemont, and Torquay residents will benefit from more frequent, fast, and reliable bus services, improving access to jobs, education, shops, and health facilities.
The community and visitors will be able to choose from an extra 500 weekly bus services, including around four buses an hour along the Surf Coast Highway in each direction. The changes include:
- Existing routes 50 and 51 will be retired. The three new routes, 52, 53 and 54 are replacing these routes.
- Route 45 Armstrong Creek – Waurn Ponds SC via Waurn Ponds Station will be extended along Central Boulevard to service Oberon High School and nearby housing estates.
- New Route 52 Jan Juc (Torquay) – Marshall Station will provide a local service between Jan Juc, Torquay, Torquay West, Armstrong Creek, Charlemont and Marshall Station via the Surf Coast Highway and Boundary Road.
- New Route 53 Torquay (Bell Street) – Geelong Station will provide a fast and direct service between Torquay, Torquay North, Armstrong Creek, Belmont, Geelong CBD and Geelong Station via the Surf Coast Highway and High Street.
- New Route 54 Torquay (Bell Street) – Marshall Station will provide a local service between Bell St Torquay, Horseshoe Bend Road, Torquay, Armstrong Creek’s growing areas, Charlemont to Marshall Station via Surf Coast Highway and Burvilles Road.
- There will minor timetable changes for passengers on routes 45, 55 and 60.
- We’re trialing a late Friday night V/Line service between Torquay and Lorne via Anglesea.
In 2022 and 2023, we asked the community what bus network changes were needed. We listened, and now we’re making changes to deliver a more frequent and direct bus network, offering better coverage in fast-growing areas.
New timetables and routes information are available at ptv.vic.gov.au, the PTV app or by calling 1800 800 007.
Camps, Sports and Excursions Payments
Did you know there are a variety of ways to provide ease of payment for students extra curricular activities?
As we advise families of upcoming events e.g. camps, sports and excursions via Compass, our preferred payment method is via the Compass event, as this enables families to make a payment and provide consent for your child to attend at the same time.
For events with fees of over $200.00 and all camps, we are introducing the ‘recurring contribution’ feature in Compass events, where families can make instalment payments on the specified dates using a debit or credit card saved to your Compass Pay account. If you have any queries regarding this feature, or if you would like to request a custom payment plan, please email events@scsc.vic.edu.au.
Alternatively, you may make a payment, as follows:
Direct Deposit
To make a payment by direct deposit please use the following bank details:
Account Name: Surf Coast Secondary College Council Official
BSB: 033-608
Account Number: 246907
Please be sure to put your child’s name in the reference and payment type, then notify the college of the payment by emailing us at accounts@scsc.vic.edu.au
