‘Getting to PLC: Easy as A to B’
We take the stress out of school transport, so when our students get to school they are fresh and ready to learn.
PLC is well serviced by buses and the nearby Cottesloe train station. However, we recognise that there are some areas that are not a direct route to PLC. To meet the needs of these students we provide bus services to certain areas.
Booragoon Bus Service – Before and After School
This is a shared service with Scotch College.
AM - Departs Melville City Library (adjacent to Garden City) at 7.25 am and is scheduled to arrive at PLC at 8.08 am.
PM – Departs PLC 3.50 pm. Please note that this is a later departure time than 2016 as this bus will be waiting for transferring students from the Coogee Service [departing Scotch at 3.35 pm).
As the service has been modified we suggest that students arrive at their bus stop at least 10
minutes early. Enquiries can be made to booragoonbus@plc.wa.edu.au.
