Our Bus Network
Connecting our families from over 60 suburbs
As a school with families located all over Ipswich, Plainlands, Brisbane’s western suburbs and the surrounding regions, we pride ourselves on our comprehensive bus network which offers a cost-effective option for safely transporting the majority of our students to school.
We partner with Fassifern Coaches to operate exclusive bus routes for WestMAC students each morning and afternoon. Each coach is equipped with seat belts and air conditioning. To promote the adoption of extracurricular activities, we operate a late bus which departs the College at 5pm, after rehearsal or practice, returning students home safely by 7pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Conditions of travel on the WestMAC bus network
All students using the buses must hold a valid ticket and behave appropriately at all times. Seat belts must be worn at all times, and seating will be strictly limited to the bus capacity. Priority for boarding will be given to students using term passes.
Students will be collected and returned to their registered bus stop unless a change is authorised by the College. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of their bus route. They must ensure they are at the correct bus stop at least five minutes before the timetabled departure time of their stop. Buses will not pass a pickup point before the timetabled time, however, they may be delayed due to traffic congestion. Students are to remain at the stop until the bus arrives.
The Non-State Schools Transport Assistance Scheme (NSSTAS)
The Non-State Schools Transport Assistance Scheme (NSSTAS) provides student travel rebates. Only students with a disability will be eligible under the Students With Disability (SWD) Program if catching a chartered Fassifern Coaches service. Bus Fare Assistance Program (BFAP) applications lodged for these chartered services will not be eligible.
A number of public transport providers offer set-down and pick-up at our College. Parents are requested to liaise directly with the transport operator to register for one of these services.
