Crown App

Crown Coaches has developed an app for parents and guardians of students on Flinders’ school runs.

• The app allows you to track your child(ren)’s bus and provide updates if a bus is running more than 10 minutes late.
• Parents will receive a notification when their child(ren) boards the bus and disembark at school or the bus stop in the afternoon.

The Crown Coaches app is optional, but we highly recommend you install the app so that you know where your child is when they are on the bus.

Please refer to the flyer below for details on how to install the app and create your account.

Please note: Students must swipe on and off the bus with the Student ID Card. If they misplace their card please order a replacement through the Business Office. The cost for a replacement is $10.
