Closure of Vine Street car park from 1 December

The car park at 12-18 Vine Street will be CLOSED to everyone from Monday 1 December (next week). This is the carpark between the Morey Building and the Naunton Family Building, which used to form part of Paul Sadler Swimland.

Please do not enter the site at all from Monday 1 December, whether on foot or in a vehicle. This includes for parking, drop-offs and pick-ups, and also includes the nature strip. Demolition of the former Paul Sadler Swimland building will commence soon, and fencing will be put up around the car park in preparation.

Organs Bus Lines | Castlemaine to Girton Grammar

While the Free Youth Travel Initiative program will apply to many public transport services, unfortunately, it will not be implemented on the dedicated school bus services from Castlemaine to Girton Grammar.

The reason is that these services are non-subsidised and rely solely on student fares, which means they fall outside the scope of the government-funded free travel scheme.

We believe it’s important for families to be aware of this distinction to avoid any confusion.
