Exams

Exams begin for students in Years 7 – 10 this Friday. As always, we simply expect students to do their best in these exams and nothing more. Teachers and the students themselves know what their capabilities are and the only real judgement of success is ‘have I achieved my personal best’. If students can honestly reply yes to this simple question their report will be a positive one.

Best of luck to all.

School student applications for 2019 open from Monday, 15 October 2018.

Students progressing to year 3 and year 7 do not need to re-apply if they:

are continuing at the same school

are residing at the same address

have not been sent an expiry notification from Transport for NSW.

Where a student meets the new distance eligibility, the system will automatically update their entitlement. If they do not meet the new eligibility, they will receive an expiry notification.

Students who have an entitlement approved under a medical condition which is due to expire will receive a notification advising them to re-apply.

Term Bus Pass holders will receive a notification to re-apply.

If students need to update their information or re-apply, they should go online to https://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts/updateDetails

Applications need to be submitted before 31 December 2018 to ensure student entitlements are updated and their current entitlement/card is not cancelled. If their application is submitted after 31 December 2018, the system will automatically cancel a card and a new one will need to be issued.

Students in the Opal network applying for a SSTS or Term Bus Pass entitlement for the first time will re-ceive their card at their nominated postal address. Cards will be mailed out during December 2018 and January 2019.

Students residing in Rural and Regional (R&R) areas should receive their travel pass at the commence-ment of the new school year from their nominated operator. Note: some R&R operators do not issue trav-el passes. Students should check with their operator for more information.

Please see the attached information regarding printed school travel brochures.

If school administrators require access to the school portal to endorse student applications, please re-quest an account at https://appln.transport.nsw.gov.au/portal/requests/account/school
