The transport requirements for the College are diverse and, sometimes complex. As a department, our primary task is to manage the daily commute for the Day Pupils, transport for the Boarders and all the excursions and sports trips.
The daily management of the transport function requires coordination between transport providers, parents, pupils and beaks, so we do encourage accurate and timely communication.
Parents wishing to use the transport service must understand that, whilst we make our best effort to achieve the most efficient journey, there will be occasions when, due to circumstances beyond our control, the time taken will be greater than we would hope.
Please contact transport@marlboroughcollege.my to discuss your individual transport and visa requirements. We may not have the answer immediately but can call on a range of authorities to help find a solution and assess each situation individually.
All transport fees may be reviewed for the new school year and announced prior to Summer Half Term.
