Getting to and from school safely

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

• driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
• being a good role model
• never calling your child from across the road
• using the safest place to cross the road.

For parents and carers of younger children

Discuss with your child how to be safe when:

• walking
• in the car
• waiting for, travelling on, and getting off the bus
• riding bikes, scooters and skateboards.

Also talk about and practise:

• safe travel routes
• plans for when unexpected things happen
• what to do in wet weather.

Catching public transport

Catching a bus or train is a great way to safely get to and from school.  Transport NSW issues School Opal cards to students eligible for travel under the School Student Travel Scheme (SSTS) via a new on-line application process.

Who is eligible?

To be eligible for a School Opal card, students need to be NSW residents and may need to live a minimum distance away from their school:

• Years K-2 (Infants) there's no minimum distance
• Years 3-6 (Primary) 1.6km straight line distance or 2.3km walking or further.
• A School Opal card is provided to eligible students who need to travel within the Opal network.

Who needs to apply?

Most students or parents won't need to apply for the School Opal card.  The School Opal card will be sent to a student's school automatically at the beginning of each new school year

However, a new application is required if:

• The student is just starting school or has not had a pass for travel before
• Progressing from Year 2 to Year 3
• Changing name, school and/or address
• Requesting a new additional pass as a result of a new shared parental responsibility situation.

If a student doesn't qualify for free travel

They may be eligible for a Term Bus Pass which offers travel on buses between home and school at a discounted rate for the whole school term.  Apply at www.transportnsw.info/school-students

Simplified replacement Opal Card process

Schools won't need to endorse additional applications for lost, stolen or damaged passes, as parents, guardians and students simply need to visit www.transportnsw.info/school-students or call 131 500 to order a School Opal card.

Driving and parking

The start and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools.

When driving and parking near our school, please:

• ensure you park safely in school zones
• "Kiss & Ride" zone has exactly the same rules as a "No Parking" sign during the school zone times. You are allowed to pull up and assist your child to exit via the pavement side door - "the safety door". You may get out of the car to unload baggage, but you must remain within three metres of the car. And you must leave within two minutes.
• follow speed signs
• do not make U-turns or 3-point turns outside the school

Parking on school grounds

The only parking on school grounds is for staff.
