School Student Transport Scheme
The School Opal card gives eligible students free or discounted travel between home and school using the train, bus, ferry and light rail services.
Who can apply?
To be eligible for a School Opal card, students may need to live a minimum distance from the school:
Years K-2 (Infants) There is no minimum distance
Years 3-6 (Primary) 1.6km straight line distance or 2.3km walking
Years 7-12 (Secondary) 2.0km straight line distance or 2.9km walking
If you live too close to be eligible for free travel, you may still qualify for a School Term Bus Pass, which offers travel on buses between home and school at a discounted rate for the whole school term.
