CHOOSING A STATE SCHOOL

Parents or caregivers are free to send their children to the school of their choice, depending on available places. Some schools may have reached full capacity and have an enrolment management plan in place that means students may not be able to attend unless they live within the designated catchment zone.

Parents or caregivers should contact the relevant Education Queensland district office for more information about available schools in a specific area, or they can search for schools in their local area on the departmental website at www.education.qld.gov.au/schools/directory
