School bus information

The new Rolleston College bus routes are now in effect, with an updated timetable that will come into effect on Monday 30 March 2026.

The updated routes and timetables are below, including a new route specifically for year 12 and 13 learners living in West Melton and West Rolleston.

All learners who catch the school buses have been contacted. If you did not receive the email, or believe your learner is eligible for a school bus based on your address, please contact our bus controller at bus@rollestoncollege.nz.

The Ministry of Education maps our school bus routes using set guidelines including numbers of learners in an area. If the bus does not come near your house, you can find the guidelines on how to apply for School Transport Assistance on the Ministry of Education website. It also has an explanation of how far you may be expected to travel to your nearest bus route. These routes are subject to change at any stage that the Ministry of Education feels necessary.
