Victorian Government School Zones 2025

All designated neighbourhood government schools (referred to as a local school) have a school zone. This does not include schools with specific enrolment criteria including English language schools, selective entry high schools, or community schools. Specialist schools also do not have school zones and have special enrolment criteria.

Every Victorian child has the legislated right to enrol at their local government school. A school zone does not restrict a student's  choice to seek enrolment at other government schools. Students can enrol at a school outside their zone if the school has sufficient accommodation and it aligns with the school’s enrolment management implementation plan, where applicable.

For students residing in metropolitan Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo or Geelong, the local school is usually the nearest government school in a straight line from the student’s permanent residential address. In any other area of Victoria, it is usually the nearest school by the shortest practical route, recognising the additional travel distances often experienced in regional settings.

It is recognised that some school zones need to be aligned with geographical and structural barriers that significantly impede direct school access such as rivers and freeways. A main road with pedestrian crossings, however, is not usually considered to be a barrier to accessing a school.

School zones are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to reflect new schools opening, changing provision at existing schools (e.g., relocating a campus or changing year levels offered), improving school accessibility, or managing enrolment demand.

The school zones ZIP file consists of distinct spatial datasets for primary school zones and school zones for each year of secondary school, acknowledging the different year levels offered by schools. The spatial datasets can be used in conjunction with the school locations CSV file also available on data.vic.gov.au. School zones have been published on the findmyschool.vic.gov.au website. More information on Victorian school zones can found at https://www.vic.gov.au/school-zones.

School zones have been produced in GDA94 VicGrid projection (EPSG: 3111) using locations that represent the front of the school or driveway access. The location point for all government schools is taken from the department’s register of school locations. Voronoi polygons define the measure of straight-line distance and road classes 0 to 7 in the VicMap Roads dataset have been used to define the measure of shortest practical route. 

The Victorian government school zones are intended to be relied on by parents and families for the purposes of making enrolment decisions for their children. They should not be relied on for making property purchase decisions, or by any party other than parents and families seeking to enrol their child in a government school.

2012 On Track Year 12 or equivalent completers destination file

The On Track Survey is conducted in April-May and involves a short telephone
survey of school leavers who attended school in the previous year and who
agreed to participate in the survey.

The On Track survey seeks to:

Offer a consistent and comprehensive approach to monitoring the transistions
of school leavers;

Report the information to schools, TAFE institutions and other education
providers, organisations concerned with assisting young people, policy makers,
parents and students;

Provide detailed analyses of the transistions experienced by different groups
of leavers;

Enable education providers to use the findings to monitor and improve their
programs; and

Provide a referral service for school leavers who appear to be experiencing
difficulties in the transistion process.  Results for individual schools are
usually published in June of the survey year.

Victorian State School Gas Consumption 2008-09

Natural gas consumption measurements at State schools first became available
via a pilot implementation of  a whole-of-Victorian-government environmental
data system in DEECD in May 2013. While measurements are collected at a campus
level, this dataset aggregates data geographically by Local Government Area
(LGA). This aggregation not only ensures that individual schools remain
unidentified, but also presents a summary of overall natural gas usage within
particular geographic localities. In addition, median usage is presented
instead of average (mean) values to account for extreme levels of consumption
that can give a skewed indication of overall LGA usage.

It is important to note that in this dataset not all LGAs have figures against
them: this may be due to insufficient or non-available data (for instance, not
all schools use natural gas); or in the case where LGAs have a smaller number
of schools, data may be left out to ensure individual schools or campuses are
not identified.

Victorian State Schools-Room Categories 2013

This dataset is a register of the room categories that exist in Victorian
State schools and includes a statewide count of each category. Room categories
are diverse, and range from General Purpose Classrooms (GPCs), sheds or
storage rooms, verandahs, electrical substations, and  TV studios. Data is
relevant to rooms that exist school sites (i.e. school grounds) owned by
DEECD; counts exclude rooms on DEECD-owned non-school sites.

It is important to note that rooms are classified according to their actual
use by schools, which is may not necessarily reflect intended design. This
distinction is useful as it also more accurately reflects the frequency at
which rooms serve specific functions.

Data is current as per Departmental records on 29 May 2013.

Victorian State Schools-Room Count 2013

Count of rooms in all buildings on school sites owned by the DEECD. As per the
dataset Victorian State Schools-Building Count 2013 this includes rooms in all
permanent and relocatable buildings on school sites owned by DEECD; in
addition rooms belonging to buildings on non-school sites owned by DEECD and
associated with particular schools are excluded. Furthermore it is important
to note that data is current as per Departmental records on 29 May 2013,
therefore may not necessarily reflect all relocatable movements during the
2013 calendar year.

Data is broken down at a school campus level, but may also be filtered
according to school/campus type.

Victorian State Schools-Building Count 2013

This dataset is a count of the number of buildings on State school campuses.
Buildings counted include those on school sites owned by DEECD, and include
permanent and relocatable structures. Buildings on non-school sites owned by
DEECD and associated with particular schools are excluded. However it is
important to note this data is current as per Departmental records on 29 May
2013, therefore may not necessarily reflect all relocatable movements during
the 2013 calendar year.

Victorian State Schools-Building Floor Area 2013

Contains data on the size of State school campuses in terms of building floor
area. Building floor area data is collected from all rooms and storeys, and
aggregated on a per campus level on school sites owned by the Department of
Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD). However floor area of
buildings  on non-school (i.e. school ground) sites owned by DEECD are
excluded. Data is broken down at a campus level but can also be filtered
according to school/campus type (i.e. primary, secondary, combined
primary/secondary etc).

Victorian State Schools-Land Area 2013

This is a dataset of land owned by the Department of Education and Early
Childhood Development (DEECD) across all State school campuses in Victoria.
This includes land at primary, secondary and combined primary/secondary
schools, but also at other school or campus types, for example, special
developmental and language schools. In addition it incorporates land on school
grounds as well as sites in plantations and camping grounds associated with
particular schools.

Land area is defined as  the sum of each area on all property titles owned by
(DEECD) on all sites per campus, as this accurately quantifies the parcels of
land owned by DEECD.

Data is broken down at a campus level but can also be filtered according to
school/campus type type.
