Transport information for students
You are expected to move directly to and from school and be well behaved at all times. Your parents should drop you off in the designated areas outside of school. Taking care at roads is important for your personal safety. Make sure you look twice before crossing any road. School Zones are busy times for parents, students and teachers. Where possible, use pedestrian crossings. If you live within the 2km radial distance from the school, you will be required to walk to and from school. If you live more than 2.9km you are entitled to a Travel Concession Pass (bus pass). Bicycles, Scooters and Skateboards Cyclists, scooters and skateboarders of all ages are required by law to wear approved bicycle helmets when they ride in a public place, including roads and parks. Bikes are to be secured in the school bike rack area. The storage and organisation of bicycle helmets is the responsibility of the student. The bike racks are located outside the front office (between B block and the Front Office). Cyclists must obey all the road rules. You must not ride your bike, scooter or skateboard on school grounds.
Code of conduct for school students on buses
It is every student's responsibility to behave in a manner that ensures the safety and comfort of passengers and drivers. This includes:

- Give up seats to all adults and disabled passengers.
- Adhere to the law that bans smoking on buses.
- Obey reasonable directions from the driver, such as where to sit or to remain in the bus.
- Keep arms, legs and heads inside the bus.
- Refrain from attracting the attention of the driver except in the case of emergency.
Respecting property
- Protect bus property.
- Ensure that buses are not vandalised.
- Report any vandalism, such as graffiti and window etching.
Holding passes
- Show travel passes or tickets to the driver on boarding and when requested.
- Use the travel pass only for its intended purpose.
