INFORMATION ON BUS APPLICATIONS
Dear Parents / Guardians,
Please find attached Application Form for school bus travel for St. Francis Xavier College.
Train services are still a viable option for students to and from the College. We believe that the bus routes devised will serve the needs of our families. Our aim is to provide convenience to our community. Should you have any further queries, please contact me at the College.
Costs for all bus services are for full time travel, Monday to Friday. For all Bus Routes (Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (campus shuttle), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), the cost will be $450.00 per student, per year. If more than one family member attends St. Francis Xavier College, the cost to a family will be $650.00. For Bus No.5, the St. Francis Xavier College Bus, coming from Lang Lang and Koo Wee Rup, the cost will be $150.00 per student and $200.00 per family (this is due to the difference in conveyance allocation) – if used as shuttle only, the cost is $450.00 per student. The cost for transport will be debited to your fees account.
(None of the above services include your responsibility for costs of Public Transport to and from the Station or other bus services).
If applicable, the College will retain all conveyance monies per student to help offset the cost of the buses this applies to all buses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. (The College does not retain conveyance monies for Bus No. 10 or Campus shuttle buses. For these buses, the conveyance will be credited to your fees account). All families and students will be required to fill out a new Conveyance Form for 2009.
Private Bus Conveyance Forms must be submitted with Bus Application forms by 9th December 2008.
Private Car and Public Transport Conveyance Forms must be submitted to the College by 20th March 2009.
Please note that bus placements are for permanent full-time and one way travel only. Daily bus passes may be purchased for $1.00 from Student Services but may only be issued if carrying capacity on the bus allows.
Full details of all bus services are available either through Student Reception at either Campus, on the College Website: www.sfx.vic.edu.au Our School/ Transport, or enquiries may be directed to: busenquiries@sfx.vic.edu.au
It is a condition of use, that students carry their bus pass at all times whilst travelling on the buses and produce them on request.

Application Form
Travel Conveyance Allowance 2009
Families attending St Francis Xavier College may be eligible for Travel Conveyance Allowance from the Department of Education. However, strict guidelines and rules must be adhered to.
The home residence must be more than 4.8kms by the most direct and practicable route from the school. (www.whereis.com.au)
All students must submit new forms for 2009
Travel Conveyance Allowance is only credited to family school fees if claimed via Private Car (pink form), Public Transport (cream form), and only two Private School Buses. These school buses are Bus
No. 10 (Berwick Station Bus) and the Shuttle Bus between Campuses. The College will credit a Family school fee account when we receive the Government Allowance. (September and December)
All other Travel Conveyance is kept by the College to help subsidise the cost of providing buses to families. If we were to charge actual costs to families, the fee would be more than $1200 per student.
All Bus travel requires a Green Private Bus Conveyance Form per student.
The final decision is made by the Department of Education if you are eligible to claim Travel Conveyance Allowance.
Attached are Travel Conveyance Allowance forms. Please complete the Private Bus Conveyance Form by December 9th, 2008 and return it with the Bus Application Form.
