Boonah Bus

McAuley College provides bus transport for students from Boonah to Beaudesert each week day during the school term. 
 
The College Bus will collect student from Oliver Street, outside All Saints' Catholic Primary School each weekday during the school term departing at 7:30am. This will ensure the bus arrives at McAuley College by 8:15 am and give the students at least 15 minutes to get organised for the start of their day.
 
In the afternoon, the College Bus will depart from the front of the school at 3:05pm, arriving at All Saints' Catholic Primary School around 3:45 pm. Students can be collected from this point in Oliver Street.
 
This bus will be based on a user pay system. Brisbane Catholic Education partners with McAuley College to subsidise our families in our first five years to make the payment of these fees less onerous and support our inaugural families. From 2020, the fees will remain at $300.00​ per term until such time that our service qualifies for the Bus Fare Assistance Program.
