School intake areas are generally prioritised when designing school bus services.
An intake area is the geographical boundary that surrounds each government primary and combined (district) school. Sometimes called school ‘catchments’ or ‘home areas’, intake areas are set by the Department of Education.
- Primary and district schools accept enrolments from their intake area.
- High schools accept enrolments from certain primary and district schools.
