FOR SACRED HEART FAMILIES
Eligibility for FREE bus travel: All K-2 students are eligible for free bus travel whether they are within the 1.6km radius of the school or not.
(You must apply for an online bus travel application - click on link below)
Year 3-6 students living outside the 1.6km radius of school are also eligible for free bus travel; however, if you live within this radius, you must communicate with your bus company.

As previously mentioned, it is extremely important that if there are different pick-up arrangements for your child that you contact the school. Due to the busy nature of the front office, we ask that you either send in a handwritten note on the day or our preferred communication would be to phone the office with this information.
If you have someone else picking up your child, don't hesitate to get in touch with the school to let them know, as we cannot let them leave with someone else if we don't have knowledge of this arrangement. This also includes OOSH.
What is the Address Collection?
Data is collected for all students enrolled at the start of the collection period and obtains the following data from eligible schools, for each location at the school:
This data is collected under sections 52 (1), 52(3)(c), 52(4) and 58B of the AustralianEducation Regulation 2013.
The information collected informs school funding calculations. It is combined with data held by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) to calculate a non-government school community’s capacity to contribute (CTC) to the costs of schooling. This may influence the level of Australian Government recurrent funding for non-government schools.
