Student Opal Cards

Information on passes for 2017 travel on the Opal network.

Students should please remember to keep their school Opal cards for travel in 2017. These cards will be automatically deactivated for school holidays and then reactivated for school travel in Term 1, 2017. If students change their address during the holidays they will need to update the information on their card. A parent and/or guardian must apply for students 15 years and under. Students 16 years and over must apply for themselves. Go to transportnsw.info/school-students

Remember that data collected from the scanning of Opal Cards when boarding the ‘School Specials’ will inform Transport NSW of our continued need for these buses.

Senior Secondary Student Concession Card (SSSCC)

High School Students aged 16 and over can travel with a Child/Youth Opal card when carrying a NSW/ACT Senior Secondary Student Concession Card (SSSCC).

I advise all students who use public transport and the Child/Youth Opal card to get the SSSCC as a number of our students have received warnings about travelling without these cards (Green). These cards are available at reception.

Proof of Age

This card is also available from reception and is for students who look older/younger than their actual age.

Lost and Found

Could I ask everyone to check the names on their school uniform items and confirm they belong to them. If not, students should please return it to the Red Bin. At present the bin and clothes rack is overflowing with Lost and Found items. In week 7, all unclaimed items will be placed on the Free, Help Yourself table.
