The Christian College bus fleet transports students to and from our campuses every day of the school year on 23 separate bus routes. The College has depots at its Highton and Bellarine campuses.

Buses travel far and wide throughout Geelong and the region to transport students to school and home again – to and from Shelford to the north-west, Little River to the north-east, Winchlesea to the west, Torquay and Jan Juc to the south, Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads to the south-east and Queenscliff, St Leonards and Portarlington to the east.

A vital part of College life

Bus journeys are not just about travelling between home and school. Our buses do many trips - from short shuttle runs between Senior Campus and Villa Paloma, to major expeditions – like transporting Our World students to Central Australia. Then there’s excursions, travel for sporting teams, international exchange groups, camps, Music and Outdoor Ed trips – and more.

Christian College buses are maintained for the highest level of passenger safety and comfort. The Highton depot includes a two-bay garage with a hoist and employs two full-time bus mechanics. They undertake servicing like oil changes, transmission checks, globe replacements and all manner of internal and external maintenance work on a daily basis.

As well as having top level skills behind the steering wheel, our drivers are people with a genuine love and care for our students. They bring a smile to their faces and build positive relationships with their passengers. For bus travellers, their driver is the first person from the College to greet them in the morning and the last one to say farewell at night.
