Several buses transport students to and from our school from areas such as Padstow, Revesby, Milperra and Bankstown. For more information about bus services go to U-go mobility or Trip Planner. You should also download the NextThere app which tracks the timing of the bus as it approaches your stop.
Many students choose to walk or ride a bike or scooter to school each day and some students are dropped off by car. The school can be accessed via entries on: Kennedy Street, Shari Avenue and Stretham Avenue.
School starts at 8:45am every day!
If you need to leave school early or arrive late to school:
Early leaver process - parent/carers should write a note in the school diary and this should be shown to the front office before school and then the student must check out via the office before leaving the school premises
Late to school process - parent/carers should write a note in the school diary and this should be shown to the office as soon as you arrive to justify your lateness
