OPAL Cards

OPAL cards … mystery solved

Whenever an Opal card application is made by a student at Emanuel, Transport NSW forwards an email requesting endorsement of the OPAL card application and the request is attended to promptly. However, I got an email last Friday and there were about 60 applications to be endorsed. You can imagine my shock! Applications went back 18 months. I am sure this is a glitch on their part (it definitely must be as 3 were for Year 12, 2016 students who have left the School) but to be on the safe side, I endorsed all the applications which met with the criteria.

You may now either get a second card for your child, which you may wish to discard or you will now have solved the mystery as to why your application has never been endorsed. Irrespective, here’s hoping everyone who has ever put in an application for an Opal card will have one in the next 2 weeks.

Reminder: If you change any of your details e.g. your address, please update the on the Portal.
