Changes to student travel arrangements – Monday 19 July

Metro has made some changes to its school bus timetable as a result of the upcoming public holiday for Tasmanian state schools (K-10) on Monday 19 July. 

 

As senior secondary colleges will be open as normal, there will be arrangements that will apply for St Mary's College students on this day. 

 

You can read more about these changes on the Transport page on our website here.

Catholic Education Transportation Survey 

Students and families are invited to complete a five-minute survey on how they travel to and from school.

 

The statewide survey is being conducted by the Catholic Education Commission Tasmania as part of a review of bus transportation currently available to students and families attending Catholic schools. 

 

The review will also be looking at the attitudes families and students have towards bus transportation and reasons why they may or may not use bus transportation. 

 

The survey closes Friday 2 July 2021.
