An easier way to find local schools

 It is now easier for parents to find out what school zone they live in with the launch of a new interactive website.

The state government has created a simple and clear website so, for the first time, Victorian parents will be able to enter their home address online and see their local school zone.

A number of anomalies in school zoning have also been addressed.

Previously, some homes were excluded from a school zone, and in some cases, school boundaries overlapped.

The Find My School website also includes zones for the new schools opening in 2020.

The website allows parents to search for their closest school as well as find other nearby government schools.

Schools can be found by typing in a residential address or suburb or searching by school name or categories such as primary, secondary, or specialist school.

The new website will provide parents with clarity and consistency on what their government school options are.
