    School Student Travel for 2024

    Will your child be catching the bus to school next year?  School Travel applications are now open for a 2024 School Opal card.
    As it’s a busy time of year, we highly recommend you make this application before the end of this year. It’s also good to check the bus timetable to make your child’s journey to school as easy as possible. Here is how it works.

    School Opal cards

    • All students catching the bus in 2024 will need a School Opal card.
    • Under the School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS), eligible students can apply for free or subsided travel between home and school.
    • For more information about the SSTS and how to apply for a School Opal Card, visit https://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts/#/ from a desktop computer, and click 'apply for a school travel pass'. 

    Bus timetables
    Busways is the school bus operator that runs your schools’ bus services. To find your child’s school bus timetable visit the Busways website by using the following steps:
    1. Go to busways.com.au/nsw 
    2. Click on ‘school services’ in the navigation bar and then proceed to ‘school timetables
    3. Enter the school’s name in the field that says ‘enter a school name’
    4. Select the school’s name and the timetable should open on your device.
    5. If you are unable to find or search for the school’s name, use the drop-down menus on the same web page to find the school.
    6. Once the timetable is opened, you will be able to identify which school bus services are available in your area for your child to use.

    An Invitation to the Community

    A CHRISTMAS GATHERING FOR THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES.

    The gathering will be a time of meeting together with others who are experiencing bereavement to honour loved ones who are no longer with us. We aim to provide an open door to the community so that all those who are grieving can know that there is a place where their pain will be acknowledged, validated and supported, especially during this Christmas season.

    The event will take the form of an informal Christmas gathering and will include music, readings, poetry and a short message of hope. Morning tea is provided.

    The gathering is an initiative of Mosaic, a group of people from diverse backgrounds who join together monthly to support one another through bereavement. It is an informal time of listening, learning and sharing our stories with others. All those who are experiencing bereavement are welcome to join the group.

    You are not alone.
