Karrinyup Bus Service

Introducing St Hilda’s New Karrinyup / City Beach Bus Service

There are many things to consider when choosing a school for your daughter, and getting there shouldn’t be one of them. St Hilda’s Anglican School For Girls is located in Mosman Park, a location that you thought may have been out of reach, given the limitations of your morning commute.

Due to recent demand, St Hilda’s has introduced a new private bus service catering for families living in the northern suburbs.

With a series of stops including City Beach, Scarborough and Karrinyup, the service is exclusive to St Hilda’s students. The service includes having a consistent, regular driver and the ability to track the bus location on an App, for added peace of mind and security.

The service is new and is part of St Hilda’s commitment to making a great education accessible to those in Perth’s northern suburbs.
