Location and transport

Our school is located at 20 Appletree Road, West Wallsend.

Getting to and from school safely

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

• driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
• being a good role model
• never calling your child from across the road
• using the safest place to cross the road.

School Opal cards

• Go to the School Student Transport Scheme to check eligibility and apply for a school Opal card.  
• If you change schools or home address make sure you update your details. Students starting Year 7 should update their details at the end of Term 4.
• School Opal cards can only be used for travel to and from school. Students are required to have their own Opal cards for transport outside of school and for excursions.
• Go to Hunter Valley Buses for timetable details.
