Bus Transport (before and after school)
Our school provides the service of three buses to transport students to and from school each day. The route for these buses is restricted to a certain geographical area and fees apply. For 2025 the bus fee is $1600 pa. Bus Transport fees are calculated on a user pay basis. Bus fees can be added to your payment plan by arrangement with the Finance Officer.
St Patrick’s Special School buses use the school bus as part of the school’s day-to-day curricular and excursion. Voluntary Bus Donation of $100 or more per year is not included in the fee invoice. Payment would be appreciated and is tax deductible. Please contact finance@stpats.catholic.edu.au for more info.

To be eligible for the lower income fee, you need to qualify as a low income family. This is determined by your family’s gross income and is a $ value set by the State Government.
Proof of income is required and applicants will need to apply via the State Government’s School Card scheme.
