Back to School 2026

Campus Canteens

Our canteens are open from Tuesday 4 February, serving staff and students three days a week at Kenwick and two days a week at Wilson.

Contributing to the canteen is one way parents can earn College Support hours for a discount on tuition fees. There are two ways to volunteer:

• Helping in the canteen (preparing meals, serving students, clearing away after each service, etc.)
• Providing home-baked cupcakes or treats for sale (baking guidelines apply).

Volunteer Survey

Parents interested in volunteering at either campus are asked to complete the Canteen Volunteer Survey by 4:00pm Friday 7 February. Once you have completed the survey, our Canteen Managers will be in touch to confirm your preferred roster.

More information about the canteen can be found here.

To help you stay informed, please take a moment to review the Bus Manual.

Bus Applications

Applications for new 2026 bus routes are now closed.

• New Students: If your child will be joining the bus service, please complete the Bus Application form.
• Existing Students: If your child currently uses the bus and you wish to make changes to their booking, please submit a new 2026 Application form.
• No Longer Using Bus: If your child will not require bus transport in 2026, please contact our Bus Administration Assistant directly. 

If you are requesting a new stop on one of our routes, we cannot guarantee your stop request will be approved. All new stop requests are assessed in relation to the timing of the full bus route. We will communicate with you to confirm if your request has been approved or discuss alternatives.

Bus Routes

Students new to Rehoboth will have a two-week grace period from the start of school to arrange bus passes and register for their route. From Week 3 on, students without a valid bus pass will not be permitted to travel on the College buses.

Existing students will have a one-week grace period from the start of school to arrange their bus passes and routes.

Here are the bus routes for term 1 2026:

• Cannington
• Canning Vale
• Cockburn
• Hills

Bus Standards

There are a few things that we would like to ask for your help with to keep our buses running safely and efficiently:

• All students must tag on/off the bus using their SmartRider card. Please ensure that your child is using their SmartRider card every time they get on and off the bus.
• Students are to arrive at their stop 5 minutes prior to the scheduled time to make sure they don’t miss the bus.
• All parents and students should be aware of our Bus Standards and Conditions of Use Policy. This covers the behaviour we expect of students using the bus service. Please remind your child to be respectful to the drivers and other passengers, and to behave appropriately.

Our BusMinder app allows you to live track the bus and choose to receive notifications when your child tags on and off the bus. If you like to be set up with the app, please contact our Bus Administration Assistant.

Thank you for your ongoing support and for helping us to keep our buses running smoothly and safely.

Please see our fee schedule for current rates.

The fee schedule is valid from April in the current year through to March of the following year. There is typically a fee increase from April each year.

College fees are billed once per term and must be settled in full by 25 March, June, September, and November. We accept payments monthly, fortnightly, or weekly; however, your account must be settled in full on or before the last day of each term.

We request that families pay by direct debit wherever possible, as collections can then be adjusted with your approval to settle your account by the end of each term. If you are experiencing any difficulty in making payments, kindly contact the Business Office to make an appointment for a confidential discussion with the Finance Manager.

There are five options for payment of fees:

• Direct debit: This option is preferred by the majority of families, with weekly, fortnightly, or monthly options available. If you would like to set up a direct debit option, please complete the authorisation form. Please note, direct debit is mandatory if your account is in arrears.
• Credit card: Payment by credit card can be made over the phone or in person at the Business Office or at any of our Administration Offices.
• Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): Payments via internet banking. If using this method, please ensure that your family surname and initial appears as the reference for the transaction. Note that the student’s name is not required. The College’s details for EFT payments are:
  • Acct name: Association for Christian Education Inc.
  • Bank: ANZ Bank Cannington
  • BSB: 016-270
  • Acct No: 4255 42729
• Centrepay: This is a service offered by Centrelink to make regular payments directly from benefits. If you are interested in this method, please contact the Business Office for further details.
• Cash or cheque: Payments can be made at the Business Office or at any Administration Office.

The Instrumental Music Program (IMP) offers instrumental tuition to students at the College during school hours. For more information, see the IMP Manual.

The cut-off date for IMP enrolments is Sunday 18 January if you would like to enrol your child in IMP for Semester 1. 

If your child is already enrolled in our IMP lessons, you do not need to re-enrol them as this happens automatically. If you would like to make changes to their enrolment, please use the enrolment form and follow prompts to request changes.

If you currently have a child enrolled in IMP and wish to withdraw them from the program, please complete a withdrawal form by Sunday 18 January.

All our policies, forms, and manuals are found on our intranet, Alpha. You can also access Alpha at any time from the top menu in Connect.

We have several manuals that cover a wide range of frequently asked questions and other points of information that will come up over the year. They are a great place to start if you are after details on a particular area:

• Primary K-6 Manual
• Secondary 7-12 Manual
• Uniforms (Primary) Manual
• Uniforms (Secondary) Manual

We run a very successful device program in Years 4-12 that brings educational benefits to students in the classroom and at home. The College provides students with a device on a loan arrangement. There are no additional charges to parents for this service.

Parents and students will need to complete the ICT Student Device Loan Agreement by Week 3 of Term 1.

Rehoboth has been recognised by Microsoft as a Surface Gold school for our leading application of technology in our teaching and learning. For more information on our Microsoft tools visit the Parent Guides for Microsoft Tools.
