This entry is for the Priority Enrolment Area (PET) for Amaroo Primary School in the ACT. I will also show how I create the maps as well and thought this may be a fun one to follow. The process is out of date now, but I left it here as it is a historical record of what I have done in the past. For accuracy, please refer and use the map below instead.
Please note each Australian State has a different education system and way of showing the school zone catchment information. ACT has a centralized page describing the corresponding PET for each school. There is also an excellent Allhomes map, however, you cannot search it easily and I found it somewhat clunky to use as well.
ACT Department of Education description, please note the left is the school name and right is the suburb that it is covering.
Allhomes map, this has very good detail and can zoom in and out.
I use Google Maps to create my maps and following is the normal procedure I follow.
Geolocate the school in question
Checked the Suburb boundaries that was listed on the ACT Department of Education website.
Start to Create the Map using the information gathered.
