Greater Shepparton Secondary College students can travel to school by a Public Transport Victoria bus (Conveyance Bus) or a School Bus Program bus (Country Bus).
Local Town Bus Travellers (Conveyance Allowance Program)
Government secondary students who live in the Shepparton (also some surrounding areas) or Mooroopna and travel on a Conveyance Bus to GSSC may have the cost of their public transport ticket covered by the Conveyance Allowance Program in 2025 (subject to approval, terms and conditions).
If you are allocated to a Conveyance Bus, you will be required to purchase a bus ticket. You may be eligible for reimbursement of the bus ticket cost if GSSC is your nearest government school and you live more than 4.8km from the school. GSSC students who were enrolled between 2020 and 2024 and their younger siblings, are not required to purchase a bus ticket but they must submit an application for bus travel.
Bus routes are set by Public Transport Victoria and these cannot be altered. Your closest stop may still be up to 1.5km from your home address.
A Bus Pass will be issued by either Dysons or Jacobsons Bus Company in early 2025 to approved eligible travellers.
Replacement Bus Passes can be obtained by contacting the appropriate company directly and paying the replacement fee.
The replacement fee is set by the Bus Company.
Country Bus Travellers (School Bus Program)
GSSC students who do not have access to a Conveyance Bus to school, may be able to access a Country Bus.
If GSSC is the nearest government secondary school and it is more than 4.8km from the student’s home, the student may be eligible for free travel.
Non-eligible students can still use the Country Bus, but it is dependent on space, application approval and payment of a bus fare. Government secondary students in Shepparton who currently access the SBP, along with those new to the program for whom GSSC is their nearest government school and live more than 4.8km from GSSC, will continue to have access to free travel on school bus services in 2025.
Approved travellers will be allocated a bus (and transfer bus/es if required) and students are only permitted to travel on these buses. Travel may be denied if attempting to travel on an incorrect bus and parents will be responsible for the transport of the student to or from school.
Students are required to abide by the rules set out in the application form and failure to observe these rules may result in travel being cancelled or suspended (this can be applied indefinitely).
2025 GSSC Bus Travel
From 2025, travel entitlements for NEW students enrolling at GSSC will be the same as other Government schools across the state.
Free public transport travel has NOT been extended for a further year to accommodate Year 7 students starting with Greater Shepparton Secondary College in 2025.
Existing GSSC students will continue free public transport travel for their entire GSSC enrolment.
