Travel to school
There are a range of safe transport options to get to our school. Check our location map, driving details and public transport options to help make the journey to school safe and easy.
Location map
We are located at Forbes St, Woolloomooloo NSW 2011.
Finding the front entrance
Go to our main gate on the pedestrian mall on Forbes Street and press the buzzer for Sydney Distance Education High School. We share the same school site as Plunkett Street Primary School.
Catching public transport
We advise visitors to come to school from either Martin Place Station or St James Station, or on the 311 bus (Railway Square via Darlinghurst via Cowper Wharf Road to via Town Hall to Millers Point). For a quicker bus journey, you can also board the bus at stops on Park Street near Sydney Town Hall Station.
For up to date details on bus and train timetables call 131 500 or visit the Transport NSW website.
Driving and parking
There is limited street and metered parking in adjacent streets. All day car parking is available at the Domain Car Park. Walk from there across the footbridge and down Nicholson Street to the school, or at the Wilson Car Park in Lincoln and Young Street (off Cowper Wharf Road).
The school has one parking spot that may be used for disabled parking, unless it is already being used by someone else for disabled parking.
Contact us in advance if you need to organise a disabled car space.
