Frequently Asked Questions
What is a school catchment zone?
A catchment (intake zone) is the residential area from which a government school guarantees enrolment. If you live inside a school’s catchment, your child is entitled to a place. Independent and Catholic schools generally don’t use catchments.
How do I find out which school catchment I’m in?
Enter your address above (or tap "Use my location"). The checker shows every government primary and secondary zone covering that point, with links to each school’s full profile, fees and results.
Does living in a catchment guarantee enrolment?
For your local designated government school, yes — in-zone students are guaranteed a place. Out-of-zone enrolment is possible only when the school has spare capacity.
