Transport

VET courses coordinated by the Wimmera Southern Mallee VET Cluster are delivered in Horsham and at Longerenong College. Students are required to travel to Horsham one day a week to attend their courses.

Public bus services are available from some regions and students using these services are required to pay bus fares.  A bus from Horsham College Bus Exchange to Longerenong and return operates each VET day.  Students will be required to pay a fare for this service.  Fare information can be found in the VET Handbook located in the information section on this website.

Students are reminded that appropriate behaviour is expected at all times.  When making an online application to enrol in a VET course, students will be required to agree to abide by the Code of Conduct. This is required prior to travel on the public bus system.
