‘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.
