Location
Overlooking the Brisbane River, the city skyline and the distant ranges, St Margaret's is situated in a magnificent hilltop position in the leafy suburb of Ascot, only 10 minutes from Brisbane’s city centre and close to public transport.
Street Address: 11 Petrie Street, Ascot Queensland 4007
Transport
Train
Albion Rail Station is only 1km from the school.
Bus Services
Council Buses depart from nearby Sandgate Road.
From suburbs served by bus lines, a change can be made in the City or Bowen Hills to either a Brisbane City Council bus or train.
Hornibrook Bus Service runs from Redcliffe to connect with the train from Sandgate.
Red and White Coaches operate a number of schools runs in the northern suburbs.
St Margaret's Private Bus Service
Belbaker Bus Charter (www.belbaker.com.au) operates two bus runs, exclusively for St Margaret's students and staff, morning and afternoons (school days).
The service costs $5.80 each way on both routes. For students using the service from near Brett's Wharf, the cost is $4.30 each way and from Eagle Junction train station the cost is $3.00 each way.
From 15 July 2025, St Margaret’s is transitioning to a new school bus management system, RollCall, for our daily bus services to and from school.
RollCall is a cloud-based platform designed to enhance student safety and improve bus service efficiency. It provides real-time tracking of students and buses, allowing staff and families to know exactly when and where students board and disembark. Through the RollCall mobile app (iOS and Android), parents can receive live notifications should there be any updates.
Key benefits include:
- improved safety through RFID (Student Card) scanning and live GPS tracking
- parent visibility of student journeys via the RollCall app
- enhanced route planning and bus utilisation
- clear and convenient payment options, allowing parents to manage transport expenses independently through the RollCall platform
All bus trips will need to be booked through the app. Students are required to use their Student ID to tap on and off the bus.
For more information or to receive a link to download the app, please send an email to schoolbus@stmargarets.qld.edu.au
Bus Routes (Please continue to check back here for any changes to the bus routes).
From 15 July 2025, The Gap Run and Bulimba Run bus stops and times have slightly changed.
** Please note that all times are approximate and may at times be affected by traffic, weather and the number of students getting on or off at each stop. For this reason, we recommend students are at their stop a minimum of 10 mins prior to the scheduled departure time. **
