Location and Transport
Mount St Benedict College is located in the north-west of Sydney at Pennant Hills.
The College is situated on the corner of Pennant Hills and Beecroft Roads, with a native blue gum forest at the rear of the College. Our students commute from a broad range of suburbs in the Upper North Shore, Northern Districts and North-Western Districts of Sydney.
Trains
Students travelling via train use the Northern Line and walk approximately 10 minutes from either Pennant Hills or Beecroft Stations. Buses also operate from Pennant Hills Station to the College.
Buses
Mount St Benedict College is well serviced by buses which drop and pick up students in Beecroft Road before the start and at the end of the College day. Parents should make their own enquiries to TRANSPORT INFOLINE if train or bus travel is required.
The School OPAL card gives eligible students free or discounted travel between home and school, using the train, bus and ferry services you nominate in your application. For further information go to transportnsw.info/school-students
Bennies Metro Shuttle
Mount St Benedict College has launched a dedicated Bennies Metro Shuttle to service Cherrybrook Metro each day, before and after school (two buses).
The free service runs on the following timetable:

- Morning Alternative Travel Option: If a Bennies Metro Shuttle is full, students can wait for the next scheduled Bennies Metro service (see timetable above). Alternatively, students may use the public CDC bus service (Route 632) which stops at Mount St Benedict College. Please note that a valid Student Opal Card is required for this service.
- PM timetable: Two Bennies Metro Shuttles (55 seats each) will depart from Gate D starting at 3:20 p.m. (Departing once the buses are full) then at 3:40pm, 4:00pm, 4:45pm and 5:15 pm (the last two shuttles depart from the College to time in with concluding cocurricular activities).
- In the afternoons, the bus departs from Gate D - the bus bay located on Pennant Hills Road near Hull Road (students should walk on the gravel walkway past the Convent Chapel).
- Please note: If the 3:20pm service is full, there are two CDC bus services (bus number 632) arriving at approximately 3:25pm and 3:35pm at this bus stop which also stop at Cherrybrook Metro (students will need to use their Opal card for the Hillsbus service).
- Year 7 students: To support their transition to high school, Year 7 students will be released earlier from class during the first four weeks of school. The Bennies Metro Shuttle may depart before 3:20 p.m . if buses reach full capacity.
No registration is required. Students must tap-on and tap-off the bus with their College ID card.
