Getting to Marsden is easy
Students from across the Greater Wellington region travel to Marsden each day. Metlink operates several Marsden-only school bus services from suburbs across the city, with all buses arriving and departing from the Vera Street entrance. These services are paid for using Snapper cards.
Our privately operated Hutt Link provides a direct connection for families travelling from Lower Hutt and Eastbourne. This service uses the RollCall app, which gives families live updates when students tag on and off the bus so they know their child has arrived safely.

Younger students on all routes can also travel confidently through our bus buddy system, which pairs them with an older Marsden student on the same route.
