Transport
Services
GCC offers its own dedicated private bus service for families in specific suburbs listed below in the bus timetables. There are also external bus companies who transport students directly to our College.
Students travel from all over the Sunshine Coast region to attend Glasshouse Christian College, including Caboolture, Morayfield, Wamuran, Woodford, Maleny, Nambour, Maroochydore, Buderim and Caloundra, to name a few. GCC is very accessible to these suburbs via the excellent bus and transport services on the Sunshine Coast.

(Flood Policy: Glasshouse Country Coaches have advised GCC that due to Workplace Health and Safety regulations, it will cancel buses when there is flooding over roads and safety concerns for the students. This directive was taken from the Queensland Government campaign, ‘if it is flooded, forget it’. GCC will send a text to all families as soon as the information comes to hand).

Code of Conduct
Please ensure your child is aware of the Code of Conduct requirements for travelling on school buses. We expect our students to conduct themselves in an exemplary manner while travelling on any bus.
Driving your Children to College
If you drive your children to the College, you may be eligible for government assistance amounting to hundreds of dollars each year from the School Transport Assistance Scheme. Please visit their website for further information. (Please note that this program is entirely separate from the College and families must investigate their own eligibility and apply for themselves).
Non-State Schools Transport Assistance Scheme (NSSTAS)
If your children travel to the College by bus, you may be eligible for bus fare assistance from the government. Student travel rebate applications are only open in May for Semester 1 and October for Semester 2 each year. To find out more, please visit their website.
Bus Services Complaints Management
Under the Transport Operations (Passenger Transport) Standard 2010, Queensland Transport expects the College to:
- Keep a record of complaints made about any of the bus services;
- Promptly investigate any complaints; and
- Record any actions taken in response to complaints.
In order to comply with the above requirement, the College provides this Bus User Complaints form for users of the bus services to raise complaints, issues or concerns that they may have about any of the services. Complainants will be advised of the outcome of any investigation into complaints made and actions taken to address those complaints. Please note that all complaints must be made on the form (rather than by merely phoning the College) and be submitted to:
