This is the 2022 update for the NSW, Sydney Secondary School catchment map. I have gone over most of the changes previously so I will not repeat them again.

This is the 2022 update for the NSW, Sydney Primary School catchment map. I have gone over most of the changes previously. However, there appear to be some additional ones, I will go over them, and if they are important enough then do a specific breakdown.

Victoria is entering a new round of lockdown and students will have to do the online learning again. NSW school holiday had ended earlier this week and will have to spend at least the first three weeks of term 3 this year with online learning.
With what happened previously I think this particular lockdown in Sydney and associated online learning will not likely end towards mid of term 3 at the least.
I just want to do a quick review of online learning with my own children. My elder one is in high school this year in the local government high school. The school in question is very well organized and drilled the students previously on the procedures and what needs to be done in case of a lockdown. All high school students got their own laptop and use it extensively already in their day-to-day schooling, the school is also well organised and required information went out to all students in their email and Google classrooms before the term starts. The schedule pretty much mirrors the in-school one and they perform roll call in the morning and stay in zoom all day.
My younger one is still in primary school and the school in question is also fairly well organized. We picked up a laptop from school on Tuesday morning and relevant information was also emailed to us and the student’s Google classroom as well. The scheduling is a lot less tightly organized reflecting the student’s corresponding abilities at different ages as well.
Both of my children went through online learning last year, so they all got exposure to this routine and are enduring it fairly well. I personally felt a lot easier this time around where last year was very much like herding cats most of the time.
With the massive amount of residential towers already went up and still going up around North Ryde and Macquarie Park area, it is not a surprise that new schools need to be estabilished in the vincinity.
Macquarie Park Education Precinct will have both primary and high schools on the same site. It is still in the planning stage and originally to be funded in the 2018 to 2019 financial year. However, the most recent NSW 2021 to the 2022 year budget had allocated $16 million to this project, so the project is likely significantly delayed compare to the originally planned schedule.
Macquarie Park Education Precinct will be built on the previous site of Peter Board High School or what was previously called North Ryde High School. The school was closed in 1998 and the site sold off in 2006 by the NSW government for $52 million and school buildings demolished in 2008. It is not known how much the NSW government spend to purchase the site back, but it is safe to assume it is significantly more than what it had received selling the site.
A fun trivia, the current NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian attended North Ryde High School was a former school captain.
The large empty patch of land was the demolished site of old Peter Board High School and proposed the site of the new Macquarie Park Education Precinct. The Ryde Hunters Hill District Hockey Club was built on the former school oval.
Given the recent large scale development in Chatswood, it is not a surprise that a new public school will be build in the area. One important thing to note is that in 2022 significant part of existing Chatswood Public School’s catchment will be handed to Lindfield Learning Village and Roseville Public School.
Currently, it is speculated that the new public school will be sited at dive site for Sydney Metro located at the corner of Pacific high way and Mowbray road. You can look at the 2021 catchment map and see the proposed site marked by X.
Looking at the site, this likely means further reduction of the catchment of the existing Chatswood Public School catchment, possibly extend to Mowbray, Artarmon, and nearby Willoughby Public School as well. These three schools all received recent upgrades, so they are probably not under immediate heavy enrolment pressure. I would guess most of the catchment of this new school will come from the existing Chatswood Public School’s catchment.
However, this will imply very significant changes to the catchment when the new school is established. Given the current timeline, it will be a few more years at least.
First I want to clarify, this set of map is based on 2019 data released in 2020 which is the most recent one. NAPLAN was canceled in 2020, so there is no data release in 2021, we will have to wait until 2022 for the next set of data releases.
49 out of 50 top NSW primary schools are concentrated in Sydney, with only one exception that is Charlestown South Public School in Newcastle.
Following is where all the top 50 NSW, Sydney primary schools, as you can see as expected they are mainly concentrated to Sydney’s northwest and north shore area with a splash in eastern and inner west suburbs.
The top 10 for 2019 are all in Sydney’s northwest and lower north shore with the exception of Sydney Distance Education Primary School who will be moving into the site of Lindfield Learning Village from next year, so I guess we can just pretend it is part of North Shore as well. Please note the top 10 are highlighted in red.

The top NSW, Sydney public school are concentrated in the northwest, north and north shore area of Sydney. This is to be expected and continued the trend when I started doing this from 2015. There are actually more schools located in the Sydney’s east and inner west suburb now, this is very good to see.
Stage 2 of Lindfield Learning Village is currently in progress with the aim of delivering the following.
Refurbishment of the existing buildings.
Internal fitout works, delivered in phases.
New kiss and drop and bus access.
New covered outdoor learning area (COLA) and additional play space.
Repurposing the existing lecture theatres into new drama and music teaching theatres.
Relocation of Aurora College (NSW Department of Education’s Selective Virtual High School) to Lindfield Learning Village.
This is scheduled to finish and ready for 2022, just in time for the newly defined school catchment to come into effect.

Killara High School catchment actually will expand fairly significantly in 2022. The area around the Lindfield railway station that is currently part of Chatswood High School catchment will be transferred to Killara High School.
This area actually got a lot of medium to high-density buildings, so the population density is pretty high. I am actually a little surprised this particular transfer happened due to the historical enrolment pressure on the Killara High School.
I did visit Killara High School a couple of times in the last few years, it has pretty good facilities for public school standard. All the ones I have seen and being inside are fairly modern and in good condition. I only saw a couple of demountable classrooms which are a pretty common sight in many other NSW schools.
Please note the red-striped areas are what will be transferred away from Chatswood High School to Killara High School in 2022. The black border is the 2022 catchment boundary and the red is the 2021 boundary.

Chatswood High School same as Chatswood Public School is the focus of the changes due to the official release of the Lindfield Learning Village catchment for 2022.
The northern tip of the existing Chatswood High School catchment will be transferred to Killara High School in 2022.
The rest of the northern section of the existing Chatswood High School catchment will be transferred to Lindfield Learning Village in 2022 as well.
A very tiny catchment area that is sandwiched between Sailors Bay Road and Flat Rock Drive of existing Chatswood High School will be transferred to Cammeraygal High School in 2022.
