how ACT school catchments work
ACT public schools use Priority Enrolment Areas (PEAs). In-PEA students get enrolment priority. Most schools also accept significant numbers of out-of-PEA enrolments.
enrolment notes
PEAs are not enforced as strict catchments — out-of-area enrolment is generally available unless the school is at capacity.
other states
catchment data and policies change — always confirm enrolment eligibility directly with the school. Australian Capital Territorynon-government (catholic, independent) schools accept enrolments from anywhere and aren't catchment-restricted.
