Private and Public Bus Information
Private and Public Bus Information Transport to and from Campus 2019 Students can travel to and from the School campus on the School's own private buses or on the public/government bus services. The Pittwater House bus system allows us to know who is on our buses at all times. This system offers considerable advantages in the event of an emergency or where we need to communicate with parents quickly. It is a condition of use of the School’s private buses that Pittwater House Student Cards are scanned upon boarding and alighting the bus. Private Bus Services The School runs five buses around areas of the North Shore and the Northern Beaches to assist many of our students who are not conveniently served by commercial or government services. The morning bus service drops students at the Westmoreland Avenue entrance. A teacher on duty escorts students from the Junior Schools to buses in Westmoreland Avenue and the South Creek Road car park each afternoon. Costs The costs per trip (including GST) for 2019 are set at the following rates: Fare Type Cost Booked Fare $4.50 per trip This is a flat rate fare with no discount for siblings. Booked Casual Fare $8.00 per trip This fare applies ONLY where a casual booking has been made using Skoolbag at least 1 working day prior to the journey and you have received a confirmation from the school that this booking has been received and a seat is available. Only three casual bookings can be made at one time. The same days booked every week will be deemed to be a booked fare. -

The Sydney Duricrusts and Related Materials
EARm SCIENCE JOURNAL Vol. ·4, No. 2, 1970 THE SYDNEY OURICRUSTS: THEIR TERMINOLOGY AND NOMENCLATURE ADETOYE FANlRAN Department of Geography, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Abstract Two main duncrust types - laterites and ferricretes - and their underlying materials are mapped and described for the northern parts of the Sydney district, New South Wales. Laterites are by far the more widespread, being found both in the Wainamatta-Shales and in the Hawkesbury-Sandstone areas, particularly on the broad hilltops and interfiuves of the major divide between the three drainage systems - the north-flowing Hawkesbury Broken Bay, the south-flowing Parramatta-Port Jackson and the east-flowing Pacific Ocean systems. The ferricretes occur mainly in the drier parts of the northwest, especially in the conglomeratic river gravels of the Maroota area. The two materials have similar profile characteristics but they are different in hand specimen, in textural and structural character istics, and also in mineralogical composition. The duricrusts and their profiles have been widely destroyed and differentially truncated, so that their various zones and subzones are presently exposed at different places. These materials, especially in respect of laterites, are classified from field and laboratory evidence, according to their recognised, or assigned, position in the typical deep weathering profile. Names are assigned, depending on the area where the best examples were found. INTRODUCTION The materials which cap the tops of some of the hills, plateaus and interfluves of the Sydney area of New South Wales have so far been called laterites (cf. Burges and Beadle, 1952; Walker, 1960; Mumme, 1965; Frankel, 1966). This usage of the term laterite appears inappropriate and unsatisfactory, partly because of the current attitude to the use of this term, and partly because of the nature of the materials themselves. -

Grevillea Caleyi (Caley's Grevillea)
1 Grevillea caley R. Br. (Proteaceae) Distribution: Endemic to NSW Current EPBC Act Status: Endangered Current NSW TSC Act Status: Critically Endangered Proposed change for alignment: update EPBC Act to Critically Endangered Conservation Advice: Grevillea caleyi (Caley's Grevillea). Summary of Conservation Assessment against IUCN Red List criteria Grevillea caleyi (Caley's Grevillea) is found to be eligible for listing as Critically Endangered under Criterion B1 (b) (i) (ii) (iii) (v), (c) (iv) and Criterion E. The main reasons for the species being eligible for listing in the Critically Endangered category are i) that the species has a very highly restricted geographic range. The extent of occurrence (EOO) and the area of occupancy (AOO) for G. caleyi were estimated to be approximately 56 km2; ii) a continuing decline is estimated in geographic distribution (EOO and AOO), area and extent and quality of habitat and the number of mature individuals; iii) there are extreme fluctuations in the number of mature individuals; iv) Modelling of extinction risk (Regan and Auld 2004) suggests that the probability of extinction may be ≥ 50% in 3 generations. Assessment against IUCN Red List criteria Criterion A. Population Size reduction. Assessment Outcome: Data deficient. Justification: 85% of the habitat of the species has been cleared, with much of the clearing in the 20th century. The generation length of the species is likely to be 8-15 years and 3 generations would be 25-45 years. However, given that generations are triggered by fire events (and do not occur independently of fire) and that the average fire return interval in the habitat is approximately 7-17 years (Bradstock and Kenny 2003), 3 generations is more likely to be 21-60 years. -

1 Background
1 Background 1.1 Introduction There has been significant public concern regarding the competitiveness of retail prices in the grocery industry in Australia and the pricing of household grocery products. In particular there is concern that Australia has a highly concentrated grocery industry, and while inflation has been low in Australia over the last few years, grocery food prices have increased at a significantly higher rate than the headline inflation rate. In response to these concerns, the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumers Affairs wrote to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on 22 January 2008, directing the ACCC to hold a public inquiry under Part VIIA of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (the Act) into the competitiveness of retail prices for standard groceries. A copy of this letter is at appendix A. 1.2 Terms of reference The instrument attached to the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumers Affairs’ letter stated: I, Chris Bowen, Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs, pursuant to section 95H(2) the Trade Practices Act 1974, hereby require the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to hold an inquiry into the competitiveness of retail prices for standard groceries. Matters to be taken into consideration by the inquiry shall include, but not be restricted to: • the current structure of the grocery industry at the supply, wholesale and retail levels including mergers and acquisitions by the national retailers -
