School buses

The transport of our students is built on two components: government funded public buses and GISS-operated private buses.

GISS-operated Buses

Our students can travel to and from the School on our own GISS - operated private buses or on public bus services. The private GISS bus system is a benefit for the school as we offer four private bus routes to support our families in managing their busy lives.

All our bus drivers are holding a bus driver authority from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and therefore comply with all NSW Government regulations. This includes regular driver tests and medical assessments.

Bus fees

Our bus prices are separated into 2 zones, based on the distance travelled. The costs per trip (including GST) are set at the following rates:

Zone Pre-Booked Casual (Single)
Zone 1
$9.50
$13.00
Zone 2
$10.50
$15.00

Parents are required to book their child/ren on the GISS-operated buses by using the bus booking system RollCall.

RollCall App

Our school is using the bus booking app ‘RollCall’, which is an online bus service portal.

This app bundles all bus services into one app. Parents can book and change services online, track GISS-operated school buses to make the pick-up more convenient as well as receive real-time alerts and notifications. RollCall also gives the school an overview at any point in time of which students are travelling at GISS-operated buses.

GISS – Bus Routes

GISS offers four different bus routes across Sydney. Each route displays all correlating stops with address, pick-up and drop-off times as well as price zones. Changes in passenger numbers may require the school to shift or cancel routes and times. The school will make every reasonable effort to give parents adequate notice of schedule and route changes or if a route is being discontinued.

For further details  on how to book, including the school’s bus service Terms & Conditions, please refer to the ‘Bus Information Booklet’.
