Brief Explanation on Sydney High School Catchment Zone

The Sydney high school catchment map is about to get very funky, so I figure it is time to do a quick run down on different type of government/state high schools and its impact on the school catchment.

There are roughly four different type of secondary level government/state schools.

  1. Selective High School
  2. Girls High School
  3. Boys High School
  4. Coed High School

Selective high schools does not have specific catchment so they do not need to be taken into account when creating the map. Girls and Boys high school generally tend to have mirrored school, for example Homebush Boys and Strathfield Girls High School. These schools will have very similar catchment zones as well. Another thing is area that are under the catchment of girls and boys high schools will always be zoned for another coed high school as well. So what this means is that some address can be zoned for up to three different school.

What this also create is some really disjointed school catchments, for example refer to the St Ives High School Catchment Map that I have created yesterday. There are two distinctively separate catchment zone.

It is really hard to try accommodate three different type school catchment in one single map, even with different layers, the over lapping catchments will end up very difficult to work out. I will most likely do different map for girls, boys and coed high schools.

St Ives High School Catchment Map Added

Added the St Ives High School catchment map and it is an interesting looking one. I was aware of that the system of mix of girls, boys and coed high school could play havoc on the catchment, but still was not prepared for the full scale of this. The catchment zone actually are significantly disconnected. I had a look at the surround high schools and there will be more of the same to come as well.

Killara High School

Had some personal issues I had to taken care of for last few days and finally able to get back to mapping again. Today I am doing the number one comprehensive high school in NSW which is Killara High School. This pretty much means translating three page of following into an actual map.

Killara High School Catchment Streetname

This map is accurate down to individual properties, as such information is provided in the street name list. I have adjusted the Chatswood High School map to match this more accurate information provided. A new high school is also scheduled to open in the old UTS Kuring-Gai site which means in 2019 the catchment will likely change significantly as result of this.

Note: The map is further updated again in Feb 2017 to match the catchment data with latest information.

Chatswood High School Catchment Map and near future changes

Did some more work today on the high school catchment and finished the Chatswood High School catchment map. What need to be noted is that the southern third of the current catchment has been sliced off and being passed off to the new Cammeraygal High School in stages. This start from Year 7 to 2015 and year 7 to 8 in 2016, then so on until the until southern section of the catchment gets handed off to the Cammeraygal High School. So depend on which year you are in your catchment may vary some until this transfer process is done completely.

A new high school based on old UTS Kuring-gai campus were scheduled to be opened in 2017, but this is now delayed until 2019 at earliest. When this opens expect large parts of northern section of Chatswood High School catchment to be handed off as well to the new high school. Two of this should help significantly the extreme crowding Chatswood High School currently being put under.

First foray into mapping Sydney High School Catchment Map (Cammeraygal and Mosman High School)

Creating a catchment map for Sydney had been a highly requested by a lot of visitors of this site. I have been procrastinating a lot and keep putting off doing this. Now that we are pass new year and school had not started back up yet, I had more time than usual on my hand. So I figure I may as well get this started otherwise I would have absolutely no idea when I ever will get time to do this again.

The first set of update including one of Sydney newest high school Cammeraygal High School. This high school was opened in 2015 and created to relieve the extreme enrollment pressure the current public high schools are coming under in last decade. Cammeraygal High School took the first intake of year 7 in 2015, year 7 to 8 will be this year 2016, year 7 to 9 in 2017, year 7 to 10 in 2018, year 7 to 11 in 2019 and year 7 to 12 in 2020. During the ramp up period, higher years of students in the catchment goes to the Chatswood High School. For example with year 9 to 12 in 2016, the entire Cammeraygal High School catchment actually are part of Chatswood High School catchment.

Artarmon Public School Part 2

I have done an Introduction on Artarmon Public School a few month back. I wasn’t able to actually visit the actual school at the time. I was happens to be nearby on last Saturday, so I paid a visit. You know most of facts just by reading about it and looking at satellite map, however visiting it is still prove to be very interesting for me.

You really get a sense of the pressure the public schools in Sydney north shore area is currently under. Artarmon Public School is in the epicenter of this wave of increase in enrollment and there is no end in sight any time soon. Artarmon Public School is scheduled to receive a major upgrade by removing a lot of demountables and construct new multi level building to replace them.

So many demountables got put up, school itself has very limited open space. I counted fifteen demountables and semi permanent type of buildings contain roughly 17 classrooms.

Enjoyed the pictures and I certainly had a good time visiting the school.

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.

  • Granville South Public School
