School Finder

Check if an address is in a government school's local enrolment area (catchment). See nearby schools with Yes / No / No data / N/A where official data is available.

Years 1–6 use primary catchments; Years 7–12 use secondary catchments (also called local enrolment areas; some states officially say school zones).

Your local government school(s)

Campbell High School · Dickson College · Gungahlin College Local Enrolment Area: Yes

This is address-to-area matching from official datasets where available — not a guarantee of enrolment. Always confirm with the school and the relevant education department.

Local Enrolment Area legend: Yes = address is inside the published catchment · No = outside · No data = catchment data unavailable for this state/year · N/A = non-government (does not apply)

Understanding the data

These figures come from the national ACARA school profile. They help you compare a few relevant schools after the Local Enrolment Area answer is clear. They are not a ranking and not enrolment advice.

  • Local Enrolment Area: for government schools, whether this address falls inside the school's published catchment (also called intake area or school zone in some states). Yes = inside · No = outside · No data = catchment data unavailable for this state/year · N/A = non-government (does not apply). Address-to-area matching only — always confirm enrolment with the school and department.
  • Metrics empty labels: for ICSEA percentile, attendance, LBOTE, FOEI and other profile figures, missing values show as No data (we do not have that figure). N/A is reserved for Local Enrolment Area on non-government schools, and for program flags that do not apply (e.g. selective / opportunity class).
  • ICSEA Percentile. ICSEA percentile describes the socio-educational context of the school community compared with other Australian schools. A higher percentile is not “a better school.”
  • Attendance. Attendance is the share of students attending on a typical day in the labelled year. Missing values show as No data.
  • LBOTE. LBOTE is the share of students with a language background other than English.
  • Total enrolments. Total enrolments is school size. Size bands (smaller / mid / larger) are only relative to the schools you compare — not a national rank.
  • Indigenous enrolments %. Indigenous enrolments % is community context, shown in neutral wording.
  • SEA quarter mix. SEA quarters show the mix of socio-educational advantage in the school community (bottom through top quarters).
  • FOEI. FOEI (Family Occupation and Education Index) is a school-level measure of educational disadvantage used in NSW resource allocation (higher = more disadvantage). Missing values show as No data.

Ideal Home is not a school ratings database. Default order is Local Enrolment Area Yes first, then distance.

Confirm with the school: Local Enrolment Area results are a first-pass match against published catchment data. Enrolment rights, capacity, and policies vary — always confirm with the school and department before relying on a result. Something look wrong? Send feedback (optional — helps us improve).
