The PEGS charter bus system utilises RollCall software, which requires students to tap on and off using their PEGS student ID card.   

Parent or caregiver consent is required for the school to share your child’s name, student ID number, year level, bus route, and bus stop with our RollCall software supplier.  

 

This consent is a condition of booking and using the school’s charter buses. For more information about the RollCall software privacy policy, please visit the company website at www.rollcall.com.au. This practice aligns with the school's Privacy Policy. Read the Charter Bus Service Terms and Conditions here.

PEGS’ Student ID cards are required for travel: 

  • Existing Students making a booking for 2026 will keep their current PEGS student ID card to use for charter bus travel in 2026. 
  • New students with a charter bus booking will receive their PEGS student ID card on the first day of the school year during form/tutor group.
  • Parents of students new to PEGS will need to email a 'head shot' of their child to BusCoordinator@pegs.vic.edu.au before a PEGS student ID card can be issued for bus travel.

 

Each charter bus is fitted with seat belts, and we ask for your support to discuss with your child/ren the importance and adherence to wearing the seatbelts when travelling on the school charter bus services. 

 

Charter services incur an annual fee and are offered to families on a yearly basis to transport their child(ren) to and from school. Bookings are required for all charter bus services. 

Bookings sell out quickly, it is advisable to book as soon as possible if this is your preferred travel option for your child. 

  • Once booked on a service, students cannot transfer or move between services without a written request to the BusCoordinator@pegs.vic.edu.au.
  • Junior School students require permission from their Head of Section before they may travel.  Contact the BusCoordinator@pegs.vic.edu.au to arrange this for you.
  • It is not permissible for children in Prep to use the bus services. 
  • Junior School students in Years 1 to 3, may catch the bus services only if accompanied by an elder sibling

The RollCall bus tracking software program creates a safer, more secure way for student travel.

Using the latest in smart card technology, RollCall provides parents with real-time information about the students in-transit and arrival for daily travel.

How it Works

  • Afternoon Travel: Students must Tap ON when boarding the bus and Tap OFF when exiting at their stop.

What Parents Need to Do
