Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the bell times?
We have this on our main website under the heading ‘Student Life and Learning’. Here’s the direct link: www.corpus.wa.edu.au/bell-times
Does the College have an app?
The development has been a joint project between the Friends of Corpus and the College to provide a consolidated place for parents and guardians to access College services. This app is available for both IOS and Android operating systems and can be searched for using the terms: ‘Corpus Connect’.
For more information about the app, visit: www.corpus.wa.edu.au/corpus-connect-app
Is there a College Bus Service?
The College operates two private bus routes.
To access the bus timetables, please go to http://www.corpus.wa.edu.au/bus-services/
These bus routes cater for families living in southern suburbs not directly serviced by a convenient public transport route to and from the College. Fares are affordable and can be purchased using a FlexiSchools account which is linked to your child’s SmartRider once he/she has received a SmartRider.
How do I use the Corpus Bus Service?
Information about the College Bus Service can be found here: www.corpus.wa.edu.au/bus-services
Students can use their Corpus issued Smartrider to tag on and off the service which pays for their ride once they have been set up with a FlexiSchools Account. New Smartriders will be issued to Year 7 students at the iPad Orientation days before school commences.
What Public transport options are available for my child?
The College is serviced by two public bus routes:
505 (Bull Creek Station - Murdoch Drive, Bateman - Murdoch Station); and
510 (Booragoon Bus Station - Winthrop - Dean Rd, Bateman - Murdoch Station)
To plan your child’s journey, please visit the Transperth website (http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/) where you will find the Transperth Journey Planner.
Will my child receive a SmartRider?
The College will arrange for all students to be provided with a SmartRider, allowing for free transport on Transperth services during school days and concession rate travel on weekends and school holidays. The SmartRiders will be ordered after preliminary student photos are taken during the Year 7 Orientation Day in Term Four 2024 and distributed to students during Orientation Week 2025. Due to processing times, Transperth advises that during the first month of Term One, students will be able to travel for free on school days while they wait for their Student SmartRider to arrive.
Beyond the public transportation system, SmartRiders serve as Student ID cards and can be used for private bus charter access, photocopying, library borrowing, and cafeteria purchases using pre-loaded credit.
For more information on SmartRiders, visit: Transperth.
What date does the school year start for Year 7’s?
Please refer to the School Calendar for dates and information.
The School calendar dates can be accessed here: www.corpus.wa.edu.au/calendar
How do I communicate with the Head of Year and teachers?
SEQTA is the system that the College uses to communicate with students and parents (“SEQTA Learn” for students and “SEQTA Engage” for parents).
SEQTA Learn and SEQTA Engage can be accessed at the following locations:
https://learn.corpus.wa.edu.au/
https://engage.corpus.wa.edu.au/
Information about how to use this will be covered in the Parent Information Sessions.
Will my child receive a student diary?
Each student will receive a College Diary at the beginning of the school year. This is the ONLY diary to be used at the College.
Does the College store and administer Medications for unwell students?
The College does not purchase nor administer medications to students. If your child requires medication, we are able to store it, along with a medical action plan in Student Services. Medications, such as an Epipen, need to be provided to Student Services and kept up to date if your child suffers from a serious medical condition.
