Buses
There are two different types of buses serving Rosehill College students:

Waka Pacific
These buses are subsidised by the A.R.C. and are not controlled by the school. They set their own fares and timetables. Currently, Cityline Buses travel the Great South Road from Manukau City, Wattle Downs and Conifer Grove. They deliver pupils to and from the school gate. Students who live in Drury township also use the Stagecoach bus No 475 from Pukekohe. This service delivers them to Rosehill Drive in the morning and collects them from the school gate after school. Specific information regarding fares, timetables and bus stops in your area should be obtained from Stagecoach.

Bus Route Information

I.D. Cards
These are required to be carried by all students and they are often requested if a student wants to travel at concession rates outside of normal school hours; e.g. to an after school job. Please check with Stagecoach, Papakura.

Country Buses
These buses are operated by private contractors. They provide a service for students who live 4.8 kilometres or more away from school. They serve the areas of Ponga Road, south beyond Runciman, west to Karaka, Kingseat and Clarks Beach. Most of the funding for these services is provided by the Ministry of Education but there is also an annual $50 levy for those using these buses.

Note: Senior students are appointed to help the driver maintain order and monitor students’ behaviour. Students are expected to sit quietly and be well behaved at all times.



Bus services are provided from Conifer Grove and Mahia Rd. These are operated by Waka Pacific Buses and enquiries regarding their timetables should be made to them. Ph: 366 6400
