Description This layer shows the extent of the government high school zones by enrolment year. The year referenced in the Feature Class name indicates the enrolment year the zones are applicable for - eg LOCSA.HighSchoolZones2020 refers to the 2020 enrolment year. A 'school zone' is a defined geographic boundary surrounding a school from which the school accepts its core intake of students. All metropolitan mainstream government high schools are zoned. The creation or amendment of school zones is the responsibility of the Department for Education and subject to approval by the Minister for Education.
Dataset Use Used to determine which government high school a student is zoned to by enrolment year, based on their residential address. These boundaries are the same as those used in the 'Find a School or Preschool' tool - www.education.sa.gov.au/findaschool.
