Important Route Information

S156
This bus has changed where it ends in Pottsville. Current students on S156 will either remain on this service or catch S184 from the School to Pottsville depending on their address.

S179
This service from the Junior School now carries only Lindisfarne students. It travels through Casuarina, stopping at all designated stops, and terminates in Pottsville Waters. Junior School students travelling beyond Bogangar will either remain on this service or transfer at Bogangar School, in the designated safe bus area, to S156 depending on their address.

Staff will be at the affected buses prior to departure on Thursday and Friday to remind students to check this detail and work out a plan with parents. Additional staff will be on duty on Monday and Tuesday to help ease the transition and answer final questions.

It is important that every student has a plan to navigate this change. If a student is in doubt about their correct bus, staff will be present to assist. If staff do not feel confident on a student's plan, they will keep the student at school and contact parents to arrange collection. We appreciate your support as we work through these changes.

For queries relating to this, please email community@lindisfarne.nsw.edu.au.

This email account will be checked over the weekend, and we ask that queries are limited strictly to changes relating to the new timetable.

Please note there are no changes to Lindisfarne's provided services.

Thank you.
