School Bus Information  

Bus applications are now due for bus Travel for 2025. Please find the link below. 

All students, including casual travellers, intending to use the Diamond Valley College bus system must complete a new Form each year and return it to the College by the date specified in the College Newsletter. One application per family may be submitted provided all students attend DVC. Non-DVC students must complete and lodge a separate form.

ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE TRAVEL 

Students must attend their closest government school or school of their denomination and reside more than 4.8km from that school (by shortest practicable bus suitable route) to be eligible for free travel. Students less than 1.6kms from public transport are able to travel on the Diamond Valley College Bus Network on a Term-by-Term basis provided seating is available. 

FARE PAYING BUS TRAVELLERS

If seats are available these may be allocated to fare paying travellers. Fare paying travellers must submit payment PRIOR to the beginning of each term but ongoing travel is subject to spare seat capacity and fare payment. Once payment and application is received applicants will be notified if a seat is available. Families will be notified during Term 4 if they are required to pay for bus travel. Fares for bus travel are capped by DET/PTV at $125 Per Term $500 Per Year but are subject to change at the Department's discretion.

PARENTS SHOULD NOTE THAT WHILE EVERY ENDEAVOUR IS MADE TO ALLOCATE SEATING ON A REQUESTED BUS, IN THE EVENT OF OVERCROWDING STUDENTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO CHANGE BUSES TO ENABLE THEM TO TRAVEL SAFELY. PAYMENT MUST BE MADE BY THE END OF EACH TERM FOR THE FOLLOWING TERM’S TRAVEL OR TRAVEL MAY BE SUSPENDED.

A placement on the Diamond Valley College bus network is subject to the strict adherence to the College Code of Conduct and to the Bus Travel Behaviour and Consequences agreement. School bus travel is a privilege and not a right and consequences will follow a breach of these conditions. Parents of students whose child is suspended from the bus will need to make alternative travel arrangements.

Students wishing to use the bus service on an irregular basis or on a different bus to their regular one to visit friends etc. MUST BRING A COMPLETED APPLICATION FOR ADHOC TRAVEL NO LATER THAN RECESS ON THE DAY PRIOR TO INTENDED TRAVEL. No casual bus passes will be issued on the day of travel.

Lost Property

We have a large amount of lost property currently at the general office in the lost property tub. If your child is missing something, in particular a wet weather jacket, please get them to come and have look in the tub. If the item of clothing is labelled, we will make sure it gets returned to the student.  There are also airpods, pencil cases and glasses that are also here waiting to be reunited with their owners.
