School Services

Murton's City Bus operate a complex roster of bus services to serve nine schools in Broken Hill. As the number of students carried to and from some of the schools is fairly minimal, transfers between buses is necessary to achieve operational efficiency. The school that has the highest number of students transported by bus is the Willyama High School.

In New South Wales the School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) provides free travel to and from school for eligible students on bus, rail and ferry services. For students to have access to the SSTS, the following eligibility criteria must be met:

  • students should be four years and six months of age or older
  • students must be enrolled at a registered day school and / or be one of the following:

    • an infant student (ie kindergarten to year 2) - irrespective of distance from home to school
    • a primary student (years 3 to 6), residing more than 1.6km (on a radial basis) or 2.3km or more by the most practicable walking route,from the nearest physical point of entry to school
    • a secondary student (years 7 to 12), residing more than 2km (on a radial basis) or 2.9km or more by the most practicable walking route, from the nearest physical point of entry to school
    • a TAFE student, less than 18 years of age at the 1 January of the year of college participation, enrolled in a full time TAFE course and living more than 3.2km from the college.

Having met these requirements, a student is eligible to receive free bus travel to and from school (or TAFE).
