Travelling to and from school

By bike

Students in Years 3-6 are permitted to ride bikes to and from school. Bikes are not, however, to be ridden within the school grounds. The staff car park and driveway are banned areas. An approved helmet MUST be worn.

By bus

Free bus travel is available to children in Kindergarten, Years 1 and 2, and is also available to children in other years who live more than 1.6km radius from the school. Bus pass application forms are available from the administration office. Lost passes can be replaced at a cost to parents. The Principal, and/or the bus company, will withdraw bus passes if a student's conduct on the bus is unsatisfactory.

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:

Also talk about and practise:

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

Subsidised school travel

Transport for NSW provides subsidies to assist school students.

  • The School Student Transport Scheme provides eligible students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school.
  • The School Drive Subsidy may help towards the costs of driving children to school if you live in an area where there is no public transport.
