Primary Evidence: A current lease agreement, a rates notice, or an unconditional sale agreement.
Secondary Evidence: Recent utility bills (such as electricity or gas) showing the home address and the parent’s name.
Statutory Declaration: In some instances, a school may request a legal declaration to confirm the child lives at the stated address full time.
School Catchment Zones Official Tool: Use the Queensland Government EdMap tool to enter your exact address for the current school year.
