Bus Services

Please download a flyer that provides more information on the bus services at Helena College. The College reviews the routes annually. 

Canteen Services

The College Canteen service operates on a non-profit basis with the help of parent volunteers. The Canteen is open five days a week. The College uses the QuickCliq system for online ordering. At the Glen Forrest Campus, online ordering is preferred, but over the counter purchases may be made at recess and lunch. It is important to note that the Canteen is cashless, and onsite purchases can only be made by eftpos or through their QuickCliq-linked Smartrider card. The Smartrider card is arranged through the College - you do not need to purchase one from Transperth/other outlet. For information on how to set up your child's Smartrider card on QuickCliq for canteen purchases, please download this handy information sheet.

Key Policies (K-12)

View our essential College policies here. The linked page includes the Student Code of Conduct and the Community Code of Conduct. Parents will be provided with access to the full suite of policies through our Learning Management System (LMS).

Parent Lounge

The Parent Lounge is a convenient and secure online portal designed for parents to independently input emergency contact details and their child's vital health and medical requirements. You can also easily update your family's contact information and address without the hassle of handling multiple paper forms. Keeping this information current ensures that we can offer the best care for your child while they are on campus or participating in off-campus school activities. Another feature of the Parent Lounge is the ability to access your Fee Statements at any time and the option to establish a payment plan that suits your needs.

Login information will be emailed to all new parents before their child commences at Helena College.
