Catchment Map

We welcome all prospective students from our catchment area. Through our GATE program for academically gifted students, we also accept a limited number of students residing outside our catchment.

If you live in an ‘optional catchment area’, a choice of schools are available to you.

The following defines the local-intake area for Shenton College effective for enrolments for 2020 onwards

In June 2017, the State Government announced its decision to build a new local intake secondary school, Bob Hawke College, on Kitchener Park in Subiaco.

Several local intake areas, including ours, were amended to create a local intake area for Bob Hawke College, which took effect in 2020 when Bob Hawke College opened for Year 7 enrolments.

As per the Government’s commitment, families living in our previous local intake area (outlined at the foot of this page) at the time of this announcement continue to have the option to send their children to our school or Bob Hawke College if they are in its local intake area. Evidence of this residence status at the time of the announcement will be required as part of the enrolment application process.
