How do catchment zones work in Queensland?

Queensland uses Enrolment Management Plans (EMPs) to manage school boundaries. Your local school is determined by your residential address. Schools with an EMP give priority to students living within the catchment.

Can I choose a school outside my catchment in QLD?

You can apply to any state school, but schools with an Enrolment Management Plan must prioritise in-catchment students. Out-of-catchment applications are accepted only if there is available capacity.

QLD School Catchment Zones

Queensland uses catchment areas and Enrolment Management Plans to determine school zones. Find your catchment, understand how EMPs affect enrolment, and see which schools are available for out-of-catchment applications.
