About School Catchments

School catchment areas ensure that each school has the capacity to accommodate the anticipated enrolment of students in its catchment area. School catchment areas have been determined after due consideration of all relevant factors, including the accommodation available in the schools, the accessibility of the schools to the students, and the safety of students going to and from school.

Refer to the School Locator and enter your residence to determine your school catchment area.

Disclaimer: Please note that in the occasional situation where there is a discrepancy between the map and the School Locator, the School Locator will be used.
