how VIC school catchments work

Victorian government schools each have a designated neighbourhood school for every address. Your designated school is determined by the Department of Education and is your guaranteed enrolment.

enrolment notes

Out-of-area enrolments are at the school's discretion when capacity allows. Catholic and independent schools accept applications from anywhere.

catchment data and policies change — always confirm enrolment eligibility directly with the school. Victorianon-government (catholic, independent) schools accept enrolments from anywhere and aren't catchment-restricted. ICSEA reflects community socio-educational advantage, not school quality.
