Keep our school community safe by:

being a good role model
never calling your child from across the road
using the safest place to cross the road.

Catching public transport

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

Rail

The site is within walking distance of both Central Station (approximately 420m via Chalmers Street) and Redfern Station (approximately 780m via Redfern Street, Pitt Street).

The rail services on offer at these two locations provide very broad coverage of the Sydney metropolitan area.

Also, there are bus connections between Inner Sydney High School and both Redfern and Central Stations (see next section).

Buses

Chalmers and Elizabeth Street support major bus corridors from the south and south east.

Buses currently operating along Chalmers Street/Elizabeth Street are listed below:

Route 305, Route 308, Route 309 , Route 310X, Route 343, Route 372, Route 393, Route X93, Route 395, Route M20, Route M50.

These services are accessed from a bus stop on Chalmers Street (adjacent to the Inner Sydney High School bus stop #201015) for northbound and from a bus stop on Elizabeth Street (approximately 250m walk from the Inner Sydney High School bus stop #201082) for southbound. The services provide a reasonably broad coverage of the district around the school. During school start and finish times there is a bus roughly every two minutes in each direction along the north south corridor (Chalmers Street and Elizabeth Street).

Cleveland Street bus services:

Route 352 and Route 355

Adjacent to Central Station, at Eddy Avenue and at Railway Square, additional extensive bus networks can be accessed. These nodes are approximately 700m from the site, but can be accessed by combining a short journey on an inbound service on Chalmers Street and a walk, and vice versa in the other direction (on Elizabeth Street).

In addition, bus operators provide a set of school bus services in the general area (e.g., Cleveland Street High from Chalmers Street at Central Station).
