New and improved bus service for 2022
Students across Shepparton will benefit from a streamlined school bus network from the first day of Term 1 2022.
When Greater Shepparton Secondary College (GSSC) opens at the new site at the start of 2022, the temporary school bus services implemented earlier to transport students to different campuses during the construction of GSSC, will be converted into permanent routes and redirected to GSSC.
Consisting of 26 routes, the new network will make services more efficient, and will maintain existing connections to primary schools and other non-government schools across Shepparton.
A brand-new bus interchange with 13 bus bays will be built on Hawdon St to service GSSC.
The new network will continue to be operated by Jacobsons and Dysons who are currently and GSSC students will continue to receive free bus travel in 2022 as they transition to their new world-class secondary college.
