Catchment boundaries can make or break a purchase

For many families, the local school catchment is one of the most important factors in a move — but boundaries can be surprisingly specific and change over time.

It's easy to fall in love with a home only to find it sits just outside the zone you wanted.

Frequently asked questions

Are catchment boundaries official?

Catchments are set by education authorities and can change. Always confirm the current zone with the relevant school or department before relying on it.

Does a nearby school mean guaranteed enrolment?

No. Proximity doesn't guarantee a place. Enrolment rules and catchment boundaries are determined by the school and authority.
