Last weekend Jack Brandtman and Lachlan Doble played in a rugby tournament representing the Randwick District at the NSW U11 Rugby State Championships, held at Tuggerah. 

The weekend saw the boys playing in six very competitive games enjoying a couple of hard fought wins mixed with some close losses.The boys acquitted themselves very well playing against some of the top players from across the State.  At the end of the weekend the Randwick coaches commended both boys on their excellent efforts and awarded Lachie the team game ball for his contributions across the weekend."

Service adjustments from Sunday 28 July

To improve reliability and meet customer demand, timetable adjustments will occur on many bus routes from Sunday 28 July.  There are also changes to the timetables of many school services. 

Trip planning and further information

Parents and students are encouraged to plan their trip to see if these timetable changes will impact the way that they currently travel to and from school.  More information, including timetables, maps, Trip Planning and school service details is available at transportnsw.info .  You can also view school service information on the Transit Systems website –transitsystems.com.au .

Student Opal Card Reminder

Please ensure your students are aware of the condition of use of their Opal Card, and the importance of carrying and using their card whenever they travel.

It is a condition of travel that all students tap on with their Student Opal card every time they board the bus, and tap off when they alight.  This allows Transport for NSW and bus operators to assess the patronage of bus services, including School Special buses, to ensure that resources are used efficiently and meet customer demand.
