McAuley College provides bus transport for students from Boonah to Beaudesert each week day during the school term.
The College Bus will collect student from Oliver
Street, outside All Saints' Catholic Primary School each weekday during the
school term departing at 7:30am. This will ensure the bus arrives at McAuley
College by 8:15 am and give the students at least 15 minutes to get organised
for the start of their day.
In the afternoon, the College Bus will depart from
the front of the school at 3:05pm, arriving at All Saints' Catholic Primary
School around 3:45 pm. Students can be collected from this point in Oliver Street.
This bus will be based on a user pay system.
Brisbane Catholic Education partners with McAuley College to subsidise our
families in our first five years to make the payment of these fees less onerous
and support our inaugural families. From 2020, the fees will remain at $300.00 per
term until such time that our service qualifies for the Bus Fare Assistance
Program.

In
summary, families who use this service will be charged each term and it will show on their school fee statement. The cost is a
charge per student and families will be asked to register their child for this
service by contacting the College Business Manager. In general, there are no
daily tickets sold.
A reminder that all students travelling on this bus, as well as other buses must
abide by the Student Code of Conduct, but as outlined in the McAuley College
‘Keeping It REAL’ Expectations and that provided by the Queensland Transport
Department.
