Catching public transport

Public transport is a great way to safely get to and from school.

Catching a bus

Many of our students travel to and from school by bus.  All Years K-2 students travel free and Years 3-6 children who live more than 1.6 km away from the school are eligible for free transport to and from the child’s place of residence only.  To apply for free bus travel, parents/carers need to complete an online application for their child at https://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts/home#/ which the school will then endorse providing the address and student details on the application matches the address on the school’s records.

The buses arrive at and leave from Singleton Public School’s Elizabeth Street side. The buses leave between 3.15 and 3.45 pm each afternoon.  Children are supervised by school staff until they board their buses.

Please Contact us if you have any further queries about catching the bus.

Driving and parking

The start and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools.

When driving and parking near our school, please:

• ensure you park safely in school zones
• follow speed and parking signs
• do not make U-turns or 3-point turns outside the school.

'Kiss and Drop' and 'Collect and Go' facility

The ‘Kiss and Drop’ zone operates from 8.40 am - 9.10 am at the Hunter Street gate near the Parsonage. Parents/carers are asked to pull into the zone marked with parking signs, drop off their child/ren quickly and safely, and exit the zone. Please do not exit the car. The ‘Kiss and Drop’ works very effectively when all involved follow these simple rules.

The ‘Collect and Go’ zone will operate in the afternoon from 3.10 pm. Parents/carers are asked to pull into the zone marked with parking signs and go all the way to the end, collect their child/ren quickly and safely, and exit the zone. Please do not exit the car.  Do not arrive early to park, as you may be asked to move on by school staff or the police.  Please assist the school in keeping this area safe and efficient.

Parking on school grounds

There are no parking options on school grounds for parents/carers. One of the school’s entrances is the Staff Car Park.  However, there is no parent/carer/student pedestrian or vehicle access through these gates. This area is only for staff parking and is also utilised by taxis’ and parents of our Support Class students for their arrival and departure from school.  To ensure the safety of everyone, this entrance is not to be used by pedestrians, parents, students, etc.

Please Contact us if you have any further queries about parking on school grounds.
