Sport 2024 (Years 4 - 12) Update
If your child is competing in representative sports or a non-mainstream sport such as BMX, taekwondo, Table Tennis, Equine sports, Rugby or anything else, please make sure you let the College's Sports Administrator know so we can ensure we help with nominations and carnivals wherever we can. Please drop him an email at elijahmthembu@acc.edu.au by Week 5 of Term 1, 2024.
Student Travel Update
Students who need a School Opal card or travel pass for 2024 can apply here. A new application will need to be submitted if they are applying for the first time, or if they are requesting additional travel entitlement because of new shared parental arrangement (e.g. joint custody).
Students who change address, school, campus location, have repeated a year or received an expiry notification from Transport for NSW for their school travel entitlement should renew or update their details before the end of Term 4. This will ensure that schools can endorse applications, and entitlements remain valid for the start of the 2024 school year. School Opal card holders will have the changes applied to their existing card.
Please see attached update from Transport NSW regarding School Student Travel for 2024.
