Our College
Hillcrest offers an extensive bus service for students travelling to and from our College each day. We have our own fleet of modern, air-conditioned buses which are all equipped with three-point seat belts and installed with event cameras for safety.
Our bus routes travel South to Casuarina Beach in Northern NSW, West to the Gold Coast Hinterland, and North as far as Runaway Bay. We also provide trips to and from the Varsity Lakes Train Station.
Discounted Term Bus Passes are available for one student, or a family, and can be purchased as a once daily, or twice daily pass. Term Bus Passes must be purchased via the Bus Pass Payment link.
Please note that students who purchase Term Bus Passes will not be issued with a physical card, but are recorded digitally and checked by the driver.
A 10-trip Flexipass costs $80.00 and is available for students who wish to utilise a particular bus service infrequently. Flexipasses must also be purchased through the bus payment link above, or on the online Payment Portal via the Bus Pass button. You will find Flexipasses listed as the last option under each of our bus service routes. Once purchased, Flexipass cards must be collected from Main Reception.
Passes to and from Varsity Lakes station are free of charge.
Our bus service may only be used by students who have purchased a Term Bus Pass or a Flexi Card for a scheduled bus service.
We have seven bus routes which are shown in the maps below and indicate major stops, as well as the approximate times for these stops. Each route has an AM and a PM map as they can be slightly different. Our routes are subject to some infrequent changes which will be communicated to parents.
Please find emergency contact numbers for our bus drivers. Please not for road safety a text message is the best way to communicate to our drivers. You will find the bus number under each bus route.
