Travelling to School
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 independent travellers
Talk safe travel with your high-school-aged child including:
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.
