In order for teachers and staff to prepare and plan for our 2025 learning groups, we ask those families not returning to St Luke's in 2025 to complete this withdrawal form and email it to stlukesmarsdenpark@parra.catholic.edu.au. This is also in line with CSPD policy to give 10 weeks notice on withdrawing students from the college.

All orders must be placed by the end of November to ensure you have a uniform to start school in 2025 and to accommodate an exchange before the end of term.

School student travel information for parents and students

School Travel Passes

Applications are now open for 2025 School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) travel.

Students in the Opal network applying for an Opal card (including a Term Bus Pass) for the first time will receive their School Opal card at their nominated postal address from mid-January 2025.

Students who require a School Opal card or travel pass but have not yet applied need to apply or update their details as soon as possible.

In the Opal network, students should travel with a Child/Youth Opal card until they receive their valid School Opal card. If outside Greater Sydney, parents should contact their local bus operator to discuss their travel needs.

Students living in rural and regional areas will receive their travel pass from their nominated transport operator. It may be issued via their school or be sent directly to them at home. Note: some rural and regional operators do not issue travel passes. Students/parents should confirm with their nominated operator if they do not receive a pass.

Terms of Use

Students using School Opal cards must tap on and tap off in line with the Opal terms of use.

This includes travel within the approved times between 6.30am and 7.00pm 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.

Upcoming Events

St Luke’s Day - 15th November 2024

St Luke’s Day is fast approaching and just like our patron, we are getting creative in the opportunities for our students to celebrate their gifts and the community of St Luke’s.

We have two major creative features for this day that we would love students to participate in. Firstly, our St Luke’s Young Archie competition (which we have promoted in term 3) where students can channel their artistic creativity into a portrait. For more information, please see the link to the info and submission website here. We would love to see as many entries as possible, check the website for submission dates!!

Secondly, we continue our tradition of our talent showcase, with students’ musical, dramatic and dance skills on show. Please discuss with your children about their chance to perform for the School of Leadership and Entrepreneurs on St Luke’s day. Each performance will need a one minute audition video. If successful, they will be able to perform at the end of the day in front of 1300 people!!!!
