BUS PASSES
The School Opal card gives eligible students free travel between home and school. Application for Opal Cards needs to be done online. Opal Cards must be tapped on and off for each journey. You will need to update your application online if you change address.
When travelling between home and school, students must adhere to various regulations regarding passenger behaviour and the codes of conduct for travel using public transport.
Own Transport
In areas where there is no public transport, eligible residents may receive a subsidy for transporting their students to school by private vehicle.
Student drop-off zones
We have a carpark in between our church and our office. Parents are welcome to park their car and walk their children into school using the pedestrian crossing provided. During afternoon dismissal, parents are required to meet their children outside our office. We have a carline escorted out by a teacher who will bring your children to you. We also have a number of bus lines also escorted by a teacher to the bus. If you have any changes from normal routine dismissal please contact the office and your child will be notified.
