00:00Ten children on that bus have been taken to hospital, five in Geelong and five to the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.

00:07It was quite a significant paramedic response too.

00:09Two air ambulance helicopters and six paramedic crews on the ground attended this crash, which happened around 8.20 this morning.

00:16It should be noted that those casualties are the only ones that we've been able to confirm with police so far.

00:21The school bus belongs to Christian College.

00:23Up to 40 children were on board when it rolled and we believe it may have caught fire there on the Hamilton Highway,
