St Ives has a unique drawing area with some students travelling considerable distances. We have designed a system where those that travel the furthest on the northshore line are placed on our earliest buses. Many students travel by train and bus to SIHS, so it is unlikely that your child will be travelling alone.

Morning buses transport students to Yarrabung Road from locations such as Gordon Station and Terrey Hills. The afternoon buses leave Horace Street and Yarrabung Road outside the school between 3:20pm - 3:45pm (Mon, Wed-Fri) and after 2:15pm on Tuesdays.

Students are supervised until the arrival of their particular bus. The majority of buses, pick up and drop off students at Gordon Station. Information on CDC NSW Transport timetables can be accessed by visiting:
