Welcome to Australia
If you drive a car, petrol and parking expenses can quickly become a burden.
Luckily, Collins Academy is located metres away from the closest bus station in Adelaide, and tram stops in Melbourne, making it easy for you to save money when travelling to and from our campus.
Consider riding a bike as an alternative to driving or taking public transport. Cycling can be a great way to keep fit while getting around town. If you live close by, walking to Collins Academy campus is an option for many.
In order to best save money, Collins Academy advises that students:
– Buy generic or home brand products;
– Shop only once a week: the less you shop, the more you save;
– Take advantage of specials and discounts;
– Bring lunch from home, rather than buying food; and
– Avoid shopping at corner stores, petrol stations and other convenience store locations.
– In the event that you are at the Collins Academy campus without food, there are many food options available in the area.
