MYKI Cards on Buses

A reminder to families that students should be using their MYKI cards, tapping on and tapping off, every time they use school or public buses. This is very important to make payments to the bus companies and to give them information about the number of students using public transport. The consequence of not using MYKI cards is that prices go up and routes can be changed or stopped. Also if you travel without a MYKI you can be fined by inspectors. We have a good system of providing transport for students to travel to school, around the Geelong area and across the state that is important to maintain. Please support this system by paying for your travel and using MYKI cards correctly. Thank you to all students who use their MYKI cards each time.
