Renewing/Applying For Your Childs Bus Pass Applications for 2018 School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) and Term Bus Pass (TBP) travel entitlements are now open.
In coming days students who hold a current SSTS entitlement and are changing scholastic years i.e. going from year 2 to 3 or year 6 to 7 and changing school, and students whose entitlement was approved under a medical condition, will receive notification by email or post informing them of the pending expiry of their entitlement. TBP holders will also receive notification.
Students enquiring about pending cancellation should be advised to go online to https://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts/updateDetails to update details/make application for next year’s entitlement.
Application needs to be made before 31 December 2017 to ensure their entitlement is updated and their current card is not cancelled. If application is made after the expiry of their entitlement (31 December) the system will automatically cancel their card and a new one will need to be issued.
Please note: Students who are changing scholastic years and are remaining at the same school will not receive notification and do not need to reapply (the system now automatically validates a student’s on-going eligibility if at the same school and going from infants to primary or primary to secondary). Where a student meets the new eligibility the system will automatically update their entitlement and card.
Students in the Opal area applying for a SSTS or TBP entitlement for the first time will receive their card (posted to the nominated address) a week or two before the commencement of 2018 classes. Please let students know new cards for 2018 are not posted in 2017 or during the Christmas / New Year period.
Students residing in Rural and Regional (R&R) areas are expected to receive their new travel pass at the commencement of the New School Year. Note; not all R&R operators issue passes (often in smaller communities where the student is known a pass is not issued).

STEM Camp – Part 3 Last week students that participated in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Camp were recognised at assembly for their terrific work. Students were presented with STEM bags to celebrate their achievements within the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Along with students receiving these gifts they presented the school with one of the ‘rescue vehicles’ that they had designed and built as part of a challenge at the camp. Students hope this will be used in further STEM programs here at our school and inspire other students to participate in these exciting areas of learning.

Primary Ethics Training Workshop 18
& 19 November at Goulburn West PS
If you’re a parent, grandparent or have time, then
please consider helping to deliver ethics classes.
Volunteers often say that they find the classes
interesting and informative to teach. Volunteers are
well supported by teachers who stay in the
classroom.
Primary Ethics provides the opportunity for NSW public
primary school students who don’t attend scripture
classes (SRE) to participate in philosophical ethics
classes. Primary Ethics employs professional experts to
train and support volunteers and who are always
available for you.
The weekly lessons are scripted for you and easy to
follow. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare for lessons
held during school term. The scripted lessons do not
tell the children what to think but rather prompt the
children’s own thinking and discussion about topics
such as friendship, sharing, laziness, fairness. You are
there only to help everybody have input into the
discussion. The classes teach children how to think
about and discuss moral issues in a mutually respectful
way. The children develop skills they can use to solve
problems throughout their lives.
For more information or to apply online, please go
to primaryethics.com.au or phone 0467340045.
