Welcome to Selective High School Community Transport
We provide direct transport by bus to Penrith Selective High School from selected suburbs in Western Sydney.
What are the advantages of utilizing this service?
Direct School Access: Students are transported directly to and from the school gates, eliminating the need for multiple transfers or long walks.
Guaranteed Seating: As a seating-only service, every student is assured a seat, promoting comfort and safety.
Comfortable Environment: Air-conditioned coaches provide a conducive atmosphere, allowing students to relax or complete homework during transit.
Cost-Effective: Shared costs among parents make the service an economical alternative to other private transportation methods.
What is the cost, and how is payment handled?
The daily cost per student ranges between $13 to $15 for a round trip, contingent on the number of participants. As more students join, the per-child cost decreases. Payment details are provided upon receipt of a completed Expression of Interest (EOI) form and confirmation of seat availability. Per school term cost can range between $600 to $700 subject to number of students and bus hire charges.
How are bus stop locations determined?
Bus stops are selected based on the information provided in the EOI forms, aiming for locations that are convenient for the majority within each suburb. Factors considered include traffic patterns, overall travel time, and safety. Typically, one stop per suburb is designated unless a higher concentration of students necessitates additional stops.
I have submitted the Expression of Interest form. What are the next steps?
Upon receiving your EOI, we will contact you with payment instructions to secure your child's seat, subject to availability in your area. We recommend following our Facebook page for updates. Should you have any questions before making a payment, please reach out to us directly. For areas currently not serviced, we will keep you informed about future expansions. For students stating in 2027, see page 2027 Enrolments for more information on the next steps.
