New School Bus Numbers

We have been advised by Berrima Buslines that as of Tuesday 25 June 2024, bus route names and numbers are being amended so they can become part of a standardised system, and global tracking on all buses will be active. 

 

Please read the information from Berrima Buslines regarding your child's new bus number. Route information will be available on apps such as “Anytrip” using the new S number indicated in the attached document. 

 

Please note, the physical routes will not be affected, and the animal symbols will not change. The animal symbols will be accompanied by the new S number. To help students clearly identify services and become familiar with the changes, there will be a transition period during which each bus will display its old route name/number next to the new one.

 

If you have any questions about these changes, please contact Berrima Buslines directly on 02 4871 3211.

School Holidays Office Hours

The main office will be closed from Monday 1 July until Friday 12 July and reopen on Monday 15 July for the final week of the school holidays. 

 

The Chev Shop will be closed for the school holidays (Monday 1 July - Friday 19 July) and will reopen as normal on Thursday 25 July. 

 

If you need any uniforms for your child for Term 3, please visit the Shop on Thursday 27 June or Friday 28 June.

Safety Concern – Charlotte Street

There have been an increasing number of students being dropped off in the No Stopping Zones on Charlotte Street each morning near the Gate 4 entrance and Gate 3 exit.  It has also been observed that cars are double parking in these zones and students are crossing a very busy section of road which has blind spots.  Numerous buses travel this section of road and enter and exit the Gate 4 driveway from both directions. 

 

This is a serious safety concern for all students.  Please do not drop students off on Charlotte Street.  We ask that you use Pickup Point A (Moss Vale Road entrance) or Pickup Point B (Eridge Park Road entrance).

Payments to the College

We are writing to inform you that the College has undertaken a review of payment methods currently accepted.

 

After careful consideration, a decision has been made that the College will no longer be accepting American Express cards.  This will come into effect from Monday 22 July 2024. Please note this does not apply to donations through the ‘Shield & Heart’ website or enrolment related fees.

 

The following payment methods are accepted:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • Debit cards
