At Westbourne Grammar School, we have a large bus fleet to service students living in Truganina and surrounding suburbs from the inner North/West metropolitan region to transport students to and from the Truganina & Williamstown campuses each day. Private chartered school buses and public transport are all available for students to safely travel to and from the campus every day.
With increasing numbers of families requesting access to our bus service network, bus routes are reviewed yearly. Routes are
designed to pick up students in the morning, at a point closest to their home (within the limitations of roads and the demographics of students) and to return them to that point in the afternoon. For this purpose, all students are allocated to the most convenient bus route and stop to their residential home.
In addition to the daily school bus services that run in the morning and afternoon, there are late buses on Monday to Thursday for students who take part in after school activities or who stay on to use the school’s resources. All buses depart from the main bus bay area on campus (refer to school map for the location).
Students who travel on the Werribee Metro Train Line can disembark at Williams Landing Railway Station. Students can then take public bus 151 or route 150, which runs directly past Westbourne Grammar School via Marquands Road or Sayers Road (Truganina).

The annual bus fees are billed in equal amounts over four (4) instalments alongside the school fees. Access to the School’s Private Chartered Bus may be withdrawn by the Director of Business if bus fees are outstanding or if parents/guardians have not completed the STM form on MyWestbourne. If you intend to discontinue use of the private bus, please submit a revised STM (Student Transport Method) form. Please note that all updates to travel arrangements, including cancellations, require a full term’s notice. If a full term’s notice is not provided, private bus fees for the full term will still apply. Families who withdraw a student from the School’s Private Chartered Bus service after the school year has started will remain responsible for the full annual bus fee, regardless of year level, unless a full term’s notice is provided in writing. The Director of Business has discretion to review and potentially adjust fees in cases of long-term absence or other exceptional circumstances. Please note that changing or leaving the school does not automatically qualify as exceptional circumstances.
