To All Staff and Students :
During the year 2008, the shuttle bus provided two operational services.
- The Yellow timetable which indicated that two shuttle buses were in operation during the semester/exam periods.
- The Blue timetable which indicated that one shuttle bus was in operation during the non-teaching periods.
Both of these services were monitored and reviewed during this period.
The outcome of the review, which included the Kuring-gai Management Group was to continue with the current shuttle bus timetable services (now Pink and Green) for the academic year 2009.
