Three more schools and as further west I move less accurate the map becomes, it is actually to be able to find reliable and accurate public information for schools in Western Sydney. So if you do happens to have them please feel free to link or send it to me, you can either comment or contact me via the email found in the About us page.

Blaxcell Street, Granville and Granville East Public School Catchment Map Added

Three more public school catchment map added, I actually missed the Blaxcell Street Public School previously and was wondering the over large coverage of South Granville of existing public schools. With Blaxcell Street Public School added, the coverage looks more sense.

Blaxcell Street Public School
Granville Public School
Granville East Public School

Parts of Granville Public School’s southern border is very much a guess, so as usual contact the school in question or Department of Education for the final confirmation and you can also access the full NSW and Sydney Public School Catchment Map by following this link.

A bit of fun work comparing Epping Heights, Epping West and Roselea Public School

Since I recently did the blog entry on changes to the Epping Heights, Epping West and Roselea Public School catchment for 2016, I thought it would be fun to do a quick comparison between these three public schools.

First let’s look at distribution of the students over each quarters with each other and Australian average for the year 2014. I feel this is a good representation of how well the students in a school is doing without having to delve deeper into the stats. I also felt indication how well a school is doing is not only at top, also at the bottom as well.

	Bottom quater	Lower middle quater	Higher middle quater	Top quater
Epping Heights Public School	1%	6%	23%	71%
Epping West Public School	1%	4%	19%	75%
Roselea Public School	7%	18%	30%	46%
Australian Distribution	25%	25%	25%	25%

Now let’s look like some miscellaneous stats about these three schools for the year 2014. ICSEA score for those that are not familiar with the term means “Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage”. Attendance is also actually a good indication of school performance, in general better attendance of the school more likely it will perform better academically as well to the lower attendance counter part.

	ICSEA Score	Language background other than English	Attendance(2013)
Epping Heights Public School	1158	57%	96%
Epping West Public School	1183	80%	97%
Roselea Public School	1098	54%	97%

Some more fun stuff, enrolment number from 2008 to 2014 for these three school. As you can see enrolment number for Epping Heights Public School increased by 22%, Epping West Public School increased by 33% and Roselea Public School actually decreased by 26% over the same time period. With these number it is not a surprise that in the most recent catchment changes Roselea got a significant increase to its catchment at expense of Epping west and Epping Heights public school.

	2008	2009	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014
Epping Heights Public School	346	333	326	339	359	371	421
Epping West Public School	640	617	628	659	688	790	854
Roselea Public School	414	396	365	360	341	320	306

You can see the new 2016 catchment map for these three public school as following.

Epping Height, Epping West and Roselea Public School Catchment Map Updated

The school catchment for Epping Height, Epping West and Roselea Public School had been redrawn for 2016. This most likely due to the current enrolment pressure on Eppings West Public School, undoubtedly one of the most popular one in Sydney especially within the Chinese community. There are large number of new developments are being completed in the school catchment and preemptive actions like this will prevent the school become over crowded. Currently the redrawing of the boundary is primarily at expense of Epping West Public School whom lost significant part of the catchment to both Roselea and Epping West Public School. Epping Height Public School traded parts to Roselea and picked up similar amount from Epping West Public School, this should be neutral in terms of enrolment number wise.

This is the new 2015 boundary

This is the new 2016 boundary

Enrolment policy related to changes in catchment

Changes Apply for the January 2016 intake
Families with children already at these schools and who live in these newly re-zoned areas can continue to enrol further siblings at the same school
A short transition period will operate where students can enrol in an existing school if there is clear evidence of a property purchase before December 2015
Following January 2016, such enrolments will be considered “non-local” and will be managed in line with that school’s enrolment policy

What the Chatswood Public School Catchment May Like in 2016 and 2019

Facing mounting enrolment pressure, a number of new public schools are being opened or expanded in Sydney North Shore area. What this means is once the new expansion and schools open, the existing catchment will change significantly. One prime example of this is Chatswood Public School. The school itself is under extreme enrolment number pressure and current proposal is to shift entire year 3 and 4 to the new demountables to be build on the grounds of Chatswood High School.

There is Lindfield West Public School opening to the north west, Mowbray Public School being expanded to host triple its current capacity to the west. Artarmon Public School is getting 12 new classrooms to the south. Out of all three Artarmon Public School is also under similar enrolment pressure and also mounting new enrolment from all the new apartments being build in its catchment area. What this means is that even with the new expansion the boundary between Artarmon and Chatswood Public is unlikely to change. To the west with the fairly large Lindfield West Public School opening in 2019, I am expecting large slice of western part of Chatswood Public School’s catchment will be shift to the new school to relief the pressure, however this is three years away still. Mowbray Public School expansion is scheduled to finish in 2016 and I suspect South West part of Chatswood Public School’s catchment will be sliced off and given to Mowbray Public School to give an immediate relief on enrolment numbers. All the other Public Schools around Chatswood Public Schools are also over crowded and I am not expecting major changes in boundaries between them. Following is what I speculate Chatswood Public School’s catchment may look like in a few year time.
