Transport

Upon application through the school, free train and bus passes may be obtained for  children who live in excess of 1.6km from school for primary ages children, with no distance limitation for infant children.

Passes are permitted for regular travellers only. An occasional possible use does not constitute a regular traveller.
 
Passes should be attached to cases. In event of a lost bus pass, parents are required to deal directly with the bus company and pay the necessaryjumping fee for a replacement pass.

If any difficulty is experienced with any bus company, parents are requested to negotiate through the school as a good working relationship with these companies is vital to our transport system.

NOTE: The above services are available under the present State Government policy, but may be  revised at any time.

Shorelink have bus routes to and from the school from Hornsby (San Link), Thornleigh, and Turramurra Railway Stations.Children catching these buses are well supervised by teachers to ensure their safe journey.
