Dedicated OC private chartered bus service

The College offers several chartered bus services for the exclusive use of Ormiston College students, offering families the option of private bus passage for their children. There are eight bus routes servicing suburbs from Brisbane and the bayside.

Bus Ticketing

Ormiston College uses the bus management software, RollCall in our eight chartered buses.

To use the chartered bus services, you will first have to contact our College via Debbi Taylor on 3821 8999 to be sent the RollCall Welcome Letter via email. This Welcome Letter includes a link and instructions on how to set up an account and password prior to downloading the mobile app, RollCall Parent. Please note: RollCall uses a separate mobile App and is not linked to My Student Account (MSA). MSA is for Canteen and Uniform Shop purchases only.

All bus fares are $3.50 each way. Please ensure there is enough credit loaded onto your RollCall Parent App account. Students are required to tap their ID card when getting on the bus and when getting off the bus.

Bus Stops

Bus drivers will stop at designated Translink bus stops along the streets listed in the timetables, when flagged down by a student.

In the absence of a designated bus stop, drivers will also stop if a student flags down a bus, provided it is safe to do so for all involved. Please ensure you are looking out for the bus and you flag with plenty of notice.

The College will update routes where necessary.

Timetables include all streets followed along the route the buses are travelling; this does not necessarily mean stopping on every street unless designated bus stops are in place or students flag the driver.

These private charter bus services are subsidised by the College to ensure affordability for families, and are exclusively for the use of Ormiston College students.

Timetables and route information updates

The College and its private charter bus services operator continually review bus timetables and make updates where necessary. Parents are encouraged to view the schedules particularly at the start of the new school year as minor changes may impact on the services their children may use.
