Rostrevor College provides a dedicated College Bus Service for students.

Where possible the College Bus Service picks up and drops off at, or very close to, established bus stops. 

Prior to using the service, an Agreement Form must be completed for each student at the beginning of the school year.

BusMinder

As a parent, BusMinder Parent app enables you to view the real-time location of your child’s bus, their boarding location, and whether your child is on board.

How does the system work / what will my child need to do?

As students board the bus, they tap their Student ID card against the BusMinder unit which records their name, location and boarding time and debit the ticket cost from the pre-paid credit which is loaded onto their account. This ‘tap’ will provide parents with information that their student(s) have boarded or departed the bus via the BusMinder app notification.

Students must have their current Student ID card for travel. Replacement cards can be purchased through QKR!.

How do I install and use the app?

The secure, user-friendly BusMinder Parent app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store (for Apple devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices). The College will setup your account and a login email will be sent to you.

If you require access, please email bus@rostrevor.sa.edu.au with your son(s) name, your preferred email address and mobile number.

You can access the Parent App Guide HERE.
Note: the booking function will not be used by the College.

Here are a few quick tips for setting up and using the app:

1. To set up BusMinder on your phone, download the app and click on Login, then ‘Forgot your password?’. This will enable you to set your own password.
    
2. Once you have logged in, you will be asked whether the app should be allowed to send you notifications. We strongly encourage you to allow notifications to enable you to see the location of the bus in real-time, which will help you determine the appropriate time to drop your child(ren) at the pick-up location, or to meet the bus in the afternoon.
    
3. BusMinder can also alert you when your child boards the bus in the morning and boards and alights the bus in the afternoon.
    
4. The Parent app also contains an alert feature that can be used to send push notifications to your smartphone if a bus is running late, has been replaced or is not running that day (for example in the event of an unforeseen incident).

Bus passes and payment

Ticket payments will be managed through the secure BusMinder app and can easily be topped up at any time.

Please see a short, “how to” video below on adding payment details, topping up your account and how to set an automatic top up to your student account.
