For Marcellin students, the Willunga Charter morning bus from Aldinga/Sellicks will arrive at Marian Campus at 8:30am and then continue on to Marcellin Campus after Marian Campus students have alighted.

The bus is scheduled to arrive at Marcellin Campus at approximately 8:40am, therefore students will be approximately 10-15 minutes late to class.
