Student Transport
Warracknabeal Special Developmental School operates three country bus routes using Department of Education and Training buses. These buses serve the Murtoa, Donald, and Hopetoun areas daily, catering to students residing within the designated transport zone. Each student is collected from their residence at a predetermined time in the morning and dropped off in the afternoon. A bus chaperone is present on each bus alongside the driver and students.
