how NSW school catchments work
NSW public schools each have a defined local enrolment area (intake zone). Every child living in the zone is entitled to enrol. Out-of-area applications are accepted when the school has spare capacity.
enrolment notes
Selective high schools, opportunity classes (OC) and specialist sport/performing arts streams have separate entry processes that override catchment.
