Catching the bus to school
The school bus is a great way to safely get to and from school.
Gilgai Public School is serviced by a school bus. The bus run commences in Inverell (from the showground) and collects students from our intake area. This includes the township of Gilgai, Old Stannifer Road, Tingha Road just past the airport and the cross roads (Copeton Dam turn off) along Bundarra Road.
Contact us to learn about catching the bus.
