We would like to remind students and staff of the importance of carrying and correctly tapping on their Opal cards when using public transport services.

Recent observations continue to show low compliance rates among some student passengers, which impacts our ability to accurately monitor patronage and ensure adequate service delivery. Your continued support in reinforcing the following key messages to students is appreciated:

• Students must carry their Opal card at all times when using public transport.
• Opal cards should be tapped on and off for every journey.
• Tap-on data helps assess demand and plan reliable school bus services.

We kindly ask that this reminder be communicated to students during roll call or via the school newsletter. If you would like support materials or posters to assist, we’re happy to provide them.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership.
