Travelling to and from school

• Students must cross Macarthur Street at the traffic lights or the pedestrian crossing near the bridge, and on Thomas Street at the pedestrian crossing.
• School uniforms must be worn when travelling to and from school.
• Behaviour on buses and trains must be orderly. School Opal passes will be withdrawn for inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour such as smoking, bad language and not offering seats to members of the public.

For the safety of students, once students arrive at school, they must not leave the school grounds without the necessary permissions. If students leave the grounds without parental permission and without following school procedures, they will be marked as truanting, which will attract consequences as per school policy.
