Travel Conveyance Allowance

Students attending St Francis Xavier College (Beaconsfield or Officer Campus) may be eligible for financial support through the Conveyance Allowance Program to assist with the cost of transport.

The conveyance allowance is available to students travelling by:

• Public transport
• Private car
• Private bus (retained by the College)

Please note:

• Applicants must notify busenquiries@sfx.vic.edu.au in writing within 7 days of any change of address or school
• Public transport applications must include proof of purchase of a half-yearly or yearly Victorian Student Pass
• Applicants who were previously declined should re-apply only if they have changed their home address

For private car and public transport travel, the College will allocate the full amount received from The Department of Education against the family School Fee Account.

For Private Bus travel, families must submit a Conveyance Allowance application at the time of completing the Private Bus Travel Contract.

The College will use Conveyance Allowance funds received from DET to reduce the cost of the Private Bus Service for the College and for families. All student travellers must submit the Conveyance Allowance and authorise the College to retain the allowance. This assists the College to continue to subsidise the cost of the Private Bus Service.
