Transport
As Farrer is located about 10kms from Tamworth CBD, the school has its own fleet of buses and transports students to & from town as required for educational, sporting or medical purposes. The cost of this transport is covered by the Day Students Transport & Facilities Levy but is included in the Boarding Fees for Boarding Students.
Day Students
For Day Students, school travel passes can be used for free travel to and from school or TAFE. Depending on where you are travelling, you
may receive a free school travel pass, School Opal card or both. For details and to apply
for a school travel pass refer to the NSW Transport website.
Boarding Students
For Boarding Students, a number of concessions are available through
Transport NSW
including a Boarder Rail Pass.
With a Boarder Rail Pass, boarding school students can travel free of charge on regular timetabled rail/coach services for visits to and
from home on weekends or during holiday periods when space is available.
