Dear Parents and Carers
We have been made aware of the proposed changes to the Transport Canberra bus network commencing in January 2019. Of particular interest are the changes proposed to school bus services.
Initial analysis indicates that the majority of the Catholic Primary Schools will need to use the general bus routes, having to connect and/or interchange at bus stations.
At Catholic Secondary Schools including Congregational Schools, some of the currently available dedicated school bus services have remained although with a reduction of services of approximately 75%.
Catholic Education has requested Transport Canberra to provide further information on the following concerns;
As parents and carers, you are strongly urged to provide your feedback through “YourSay” on https://www.yoursay.act.gov.au/rapid-bus-network before 12 August 2018.
Details on the changes to school bus services can be found on https://canberrabuses.com.au/schools/
We will continue our discussions with Transport Canberra and provide further information as and when available.
Yours faithfully
Colleen Rowe
