This state-integrated school enrols by preference criteria, so zone rules don't apply in the same way. The map shows the school location — check the school's own enrolment scheme.

Pompallier Catholic College is a state-integrated school. Places go first to applicants with a preference connection to the school's special character (for example, a faith connection), so the usual in-zone and ballot rules don't apply in the same way. Where a geographic priority exists, it works within those preference criteria. Check the school's own enrolment scheme before relying on a zone result.
