Uniform Supplies
Our College keeps a supply of uniform items available for purchase on-site. Please be advised that there has been a price increase for the following items: Blue/White Aprons, White Chef Caps, and EarphonesBus Travel - Reminder
Students are reminded that they should only be travelling on the bus that takes them home.
Buses are allocated based on addresses provided in bus pass applications. Students are not covered for bus travel to locations other than their home address under the School Travel Scheme. Students boarding incorrect buses results in over-crowding. We thank students and families for their support in ensuring bus travel is within the framework of the School Travel Scheme.
Busways - Real-Time Bus Tracking
Use the NSW Transport Departures tool to find bus services leaving from your stop in real-time. By choosing the departure stop as St Joseph's Regional College, you can track your bus in real-time.
This is similar to a departure board you see at the bus stop, it's a tool designed for people who already know where they're going.
