Bus Routes for 2026 – College and Primary

The Wentworth bus service is run on a ‘cost recovery’ basis (i.e. non-profit) and every endeavour has been made to keep costs as low as possible.

**Disclaimer** These routes are modified throughout the school year to ensure the routes are logical and that new students are catered for.  All existing parents are notified of changes.

Please note that buses may be later than the times noted on the timetables, due to traffic volumes and roadworks etc. However, on the morning bus runs drivers will not depart a bus stop earlier than the stated time. Please ensure students are waiting at the bus stop well in advance of the stated time.

Students must remain on the same bus to and from school unless a special arrangement has been made for families co-parenting.
We are unable to cater for after-school drop-off at sports venues.

RollCall

The Wentworth Bus Service uses the RollCall transport management system, which tracks bus locations and student boarding and disembarking. Parents will be emailed login details for the parent app to monitor these updates. Text messages will be sent out should there be any major delays. Please note Rollcall does not operate on Bus 1.

Bus Terms – Commitment to the Service

• Students who sign up for the school bus service are committing to the full school year, including Term 4. The service is not available on a term-by-term basis.
• If you change your address during the school year, please notify us as soon as possible. While we will do our best to assist, we may not be able to accommodate changes to bus routes, as current routes and capacities are fixed.

• It is at the school’s discretion to reassign students to a different bus if necessary.
