DioConnect
We are steadily getting more students using our buses on our established routes, while also investigating new bus routes. Students may catch the Dio buses from Year 2 onwards.
Fitted out with GPS trackers, our Dio buses are user friendly. They allow students and parents to see the bus on its route, as well as being able to receive updates if the buses are delayed. We have an easy “pay as you ride” system where the girls use their student ID card as a bus pass (with easy billing to a credit card through My Monitor).
We have two netball buses in operation for our Year 7 and 8 girls and we are looking at establishing “late buses”.
All our buses aim to reach Diocesan by 8am and depart our school bus bays at 3.40pm. See below for information about each Dio Bus route. If you have any queries about the Dio buses please contact our Transport Co-ordinator Susan Lowe.
