School student travel information for parents and students

School Travel Passes

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. 

School Fees

School fees per year for 2025 are:

  • 1 Child  $1164.00

School Fees are billed on an annual basis at the commencement of the School Year and our standard payment terms are 10 monthly instalments from February to November.

 

Parents are issued an annual Tax Invoice/Statement in Term one with monthly statements issued thereafter.

 

Families experiencing hardship may also contact the School to enter into alternative payment arrangements.

 

All schools within the Diocese have facilities to pay fees by BPAY, EFTPOS or Credit Card, Cash or Cheque.  Our preferred payment method is BPAY.
