We are proud to offer this comprehensive and affordable service to our families. Some of the benefits of this include:
  • We want to give our St Mary's College and St Mary's Catholic Primary School students the best possible experience.
  • The bus provides a safe, comfortable and efficient service for our students.
  • The bus is an express service which shortens the time students are on the bus. 
  • Very affordable - see pricing below.
We have partnered with Polleys Coaches who have provided the bus and driver for this run. Polleys have operated buses since 1956 throughout the Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast regions and are experts in the area of school runs. We have accessed Non-State Schools Transport Assistance Scheme (NSSTAS) which has helped lower the fare costs.
