School student travel information for parents and students

We have received the followin information from TransportNSW regarding School Opal cards and their use.

School travel passes

Students who require a School Opal card or travel pass but have not yet applied need to apply for a new card or update their existing card as soon as possible. Students who receive a notification that their School Opal card is expiring need to re-submit their details.  If a student has lost their School Opal card, they will need to apply for a replacement card. 

Note: a new card will not be issued if an existing School Opal card is updated online – you must submit a replacement application if a School Opal card is lost.  In the Opal network, students should travel with a Child/Youth Opal card until they receive their valid School Opal card.

A reminder that students using School Opal cards must tap on and off in line with the Opal terms of use. This includes travel within the approved times between 6:30 am and 7:00 pm from Monday to Friday on school days only. Students must use their Child/Youth Opal card for any travel outside these times.

All students are required to comply with the Student code of conduct. The code of conduct aims to ensure the safety and well-being of school children and other passengers. It is important that parents ensure their child is aware of this, as failure to comply with the code of conduct can result in a suspension from travel.
