Car and Bus Travel

Bus Travel
A school bus service is run by Busways.  All students in Kindergarten to Year 2 are entitled to free travel on school buses.  Students in Years 3–6 who live at least 1.6 kilometres, by the shortest route, from the school may apply for Free Travel Passes.  Year 3 students within 1.6 kilometers can apply for a bus pass at the end of Year 2 if parents feel it is necessary for safety reasons.

All students travelling on the school buses are expected to behave in an appropriate manner e.g. enter and exit without pushing others, remain seated and quiet during the journey, show courtesy and consideration towards others.

Children who do not behave appropriately may be forbidden to travel on the school bus.

Forms for bus travel are available from the school office.

The phone number for Busways is:  (02) 4368 2277.

Car Travel
Car Travel Subsidy forms are available for parents conveying their children to and from school, or to a connecting bus service more than 1.6 km distance from home.  Forms for car travel subsidy are available through the office.

Parents dropping off or picking up students should enter through the western gate and exit through the eastern gate.

Parents are required to supervise K–6 students from the basement area to cars.

NO CHILD IS TO WALK THROUGH THE CARPARK OR CROSS THE ROAD WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION.
