Are we your designated neighbourhood school?
A student’s designated neighbourhood school is generally the school that is nearest the student’s permanent address as determined by the school zone. The Find My School website provides guidance on which school zone a student’s permanent residence is located within.
The Department of Education Placement Policy has more information on this.
Families are able to apply for a place at a school that is not their designated neighbourhood school.
All students who seek enrolment in a school outside of their designated neighbourhood school should be enrolled in that school, if there is sufficient capacity at the school to accommodate all students who apply.
