Sunshine Coast School District 46 requires families to register for school bus transportation, and (starting in 2026–27) students must register each school year to access bussing. Eligibility is based on catchment and walk limits (2 km for elementary), and SD46 notes that busing is not provided for cross-boundary transfer students.

The school site includes a Registration link. For SD46 cross-boundary requests, the district directs families to submit an application to the child’s current school (or, if new to the school system, the neighbourhood school) and notes that some schools (including Roberts Creek) may be closed to cross-boundary applications based on available space.
