School Opal Card
The School Opal card gives eligible students free travel between home and school on an approved train, bus or ferry service. Students will be required to ‘Tap On and Off’ when travelling to and from school. The data will be captured by this action to ensure the travel is eligible between home and school.
Please note: The School Opal Card will be deactivated for use on weekends and school holidays.
Should students need to travel to any other location, they will be required to use a Child/Youth Opal Card.
Most Temporary Residents (e.g. 457 visa) and International Students (500 visa) are not eligible for a School Opal card.
Why are you applying for a School Opal Card?
Applying for a School Opal Card for the first time?
Changed address or other circumstances - updating your information
Changing school - updating your information
Lost, damaged or stolen School Opal Card?
Applying for a School Opal Card for the first time?
You will only need a new application if:
- you are applying for a School Opal card for the first time
- you are enrolling in Kindergarten
- you are requesting an additional pass as a result of a new shared parental responsibility (joint custody) situation.
A parent or legal guardian must make the application if the child is under 16 years of age. If the child is 16 years or older they will need to complete the application themselves.
After you submit your application, the school will endorse your application as soon as possible. You will be advised if you need to do anything further when you have completed your online application. Transport for NSW will then process the application. Once approved, the School Opal card will be sent to the home address you provided in the application.
There are certain requirements that must be met to apply for a School Opal Card. Find out if you are eligible and apply for a School Opal Card.
Changed address or other circumstances - updating your information
You will need to update your application if:
- you have a current School Opal card and you change address
- you change your school year outside of the usual progression (e.g. repeat a year or skip a grade).
If your child already has a School Opal card, be sure to hold on to it. The School Opal card will be updated.
Changing school - updating your information
If the student already has a School Opal card, be sure to hold on to it. The School Opal card will be updated.
Lost, damaged or stolen School Opal Card?
If you proceed with replacing your School Opal card, it will be cancelled immediately and a new card will be sent within 8 to 10 working days. There is a $10 replacement fee and students will need to travel with a valid ticket while waiting for the replacement pass to arrive.
Bus Routes & Timetables
CDC NSW provide school buses to the Northern Beaches, Hornsby, Wahroonga, West Ryde, Chatswood, Gordon and Pymble train stations > CDC School Timetables
For transportation before and after school via government buses visit the Transport NSW website.
All public transport options and timetables are determined by the NSW Government.
Bus Supervision
Each school bus has a student bus supervisor. This is a senior student selected by staff. They liaise with students and the bus driver and look after younger students.
New students, or students without older siblings, may also be paired up with a ‘Bus Buddy’. The buddy is another student who keeps an eye out for their wellbeing, safety and bus stop.
Each afternoon, school buses depart from the school car park (Dell Street entrance) or from the Forest Way pedestrian entrance. Students are supervised by staff as they arrive on buses each morning and are assisted as they board the buses at each location in the afternoon.
Skateboards and Bicycles
Students are not to bring skateboards to school.
Bicycles may be stored in the bike racks located next to the Agriculture plot inside the Dell Street gate. Please note that students will need to bring their own locks.
