Local Catchment Area

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Brisbane State High School has a strong commitment to students from the local area.​

To be eligible for in-catchment enrolment, parents or legal guardians who seek to enrol their child at the school will need to fully demonstrate that the student's principal place of residence is genuinely within the defined catchment area.

Current proof of residency at the address indicated must be provided upon enrolment, as outlined in the Enrolment Management Plan.

Search for your address via the interactive Department of Education EdMap.

On Monday 8 May 2023, the Enrolment Information Session will be held at Brisbane State High School for parents and guardians of students enrolling in Year 7, 2024 via Local Catchment Area. ​​
