Depending of what service your daughter is catching, students meet at the locations below:
3.15 pm - Staff will meet students at the PLC Sydney Main Reception area (Meta Street entrance) and direct students to the buses.
5.15 pm - Students must make their own way to the Young Street bus zone. All students are to wait on the path near the Studio Theatre. Students are to use the pedestrian gate once the bus has arrived. A member of the staff will be at the bus zone to supervise the area.
All bus services are PAYG (pay as you go) and a flat rate of $7.00 applies per trip.
Each student registered for bus travel are provided with a unique bus tag and lanyard which should be permanently attached to her school bag. The tag is required to tap on and off the bus (similar to the Opal system). Bus tags cost $10.00 each (new and replacements).
Payment for bus travel is only accepted through PayPay via the Rollcall account system (see Bookings for further details). You will need to create a PayPal account if you do not already have one as no other forms of payment are accepted. We ask parents to make sure there is enough credit added to their accounts to cover your daughter's bus trips throughout the term.

RollCall gives parents the ability to track their child’s journey online. If you notice your daughter is not on her expected bus, please:
- Call her on her mobile phone to check if she missed the bus
- If you are unable to contact her my mobile, please call her teacher or the Co-curricular co-ordinator of the activity she was participating in during the afternoon eg Gym instructor, AFL coach, swimming coach etc.

- NB It is very rare that a child misses their bus without notifying their parents first. There is usually a very simple explanation, so please don't panic :)
- Please note that if you need to contact the College regarding any issues to do with PLC Sydney's Bus Service either before or after school hours, please call Gary Cafe on 0409 154 926.
