Bike Safety

With many bike tracks underwater at the moment, more students are having to cycle near busy traffic, including on the main road over the new bridge. Staff have noted some students cycling a bit too close to the traffic. Please ensure your children are riding as safely as possible to school, and are using common sense when having to cycle in the traffic.

Bus Travel to and From School for                             NSW Residents

NSW residents 2023 school travel applications are now open.

Applications for students who reside in NSW (both town and rural) and require school bus travel in 2023 opened from Monday 10 October 2022.  Refer to the NSW Transport website for full details. NSW students who need a School travel pass for 2023 can apply now. A new application will need to be submitted:

• if they are applying for the first time, 
• or if they are requesting an additional travel entitlement as a result of a new 
  shared parental responsibility situation (e.g. joint custody).

Students who change address, school, campus location, have repeated a year or received an expiry notification from Transport for NSW for their school travel entitlement should

 renew or update their details before the end of term 4. This will ensure that schools can endorse applications, and entitlements remain valid for the start of the 2023 school year. 

If a student's distance eligibility has changed based on their grade (i.e. grade two to grade three), the system will automatically update their entitlement if they meet the new criteria. If they do not meet the new eligibility criteria, we will send an expiry notification via email.

Students who have an entitlement approved under a medical condition that is due to expire will receive a notification advising them to re-apply.

Students living in rural and regional (R&R) areas should receive their travel pass at the start of the new school year from their nominated transport operator. It may come via the school or be sent directly to them at home. Note: some R&R operators do not issue travel passes. Students/parents should confirm with their nominated operator if they do not receive a pass.
