We now operate four upgraded school bus runs to selected Melbourne Private Schools from the North & North Eastern Suburbs. For your child’s security and convenience why not consider using one of these exclusive services?

To check if the service will be suitable for you:

1. Select the service that runs through your suburb (see map on Page 2 of Application Form)
2. From the Timetable for that service (shown below) select the stop that is closest to your home
3. If that service does not run directly to your school, check the Interchange Timetable for the connecting service to your child’s school
4. Check the pick-up time at your selected stop, and please ensure that your child can be there 5 minutes before departure
5. Ensure your child is aware of the connecting bus they will need to change onto at Sackville St in the morning to get to school (see Interchange Timetable)
6. Ensure your child is aware of the connecting bus they will need to change onto in the afternoon from Carey to get home (see Interchange Timetable)
7. To make a booking please email a completed application form to bookings@panoramacoaches.com.au, or phone our friendly reservations staff for further information on (03) 9438 3666 (option 1)

Connecting services can be found on the Interchange Information link on this page.  The Interchange point is where all 4 bus services meet at Sackville St at 7.40am and the students change buses in order to get their respective bus to travel to school.  The same applies in the afternoon when the buses meet outside Carey in Barkers Rd at 4.00pm where the students change buses in order to get their respective bus to travel home.
