findmeaschool.au aggregates public information — it never replaces it. This page lists the datasets we build on and the official and independent places where you can verify anything you read here, or dig deeper before applying.
School locations, sectors and types come from government open data. We normalise labels, drop closed schools, and merge jurisdictions — figures are otherwise reproduced as published.
Victorian VCE figures are reproduced as published facts from the VCAA Senior Secondary Completion and Achievement Information, attributed on each school page.
Commonwealth-level places to check any Australian school's facts.
Each state's official tool for finding your local school and checking zones or catchments — the source of truth for enrolment areas.
The bodies that set senior-secondary curricula and publish official results in each state — where score data ultimately comes from.
The three companies that run most Australian school scholarship and entrance testing — registration always happens with them or the school.
Established third-party directories — useful for a second opinion, with their own methodologies.
Peak bodies for independent and Catholic schooling — directories and sector-wide information.
Listing a third-party site is not an endorsement of its methodology. Information changes — always confirm zones, fees, dates and scholarship terms with the school or department before acting on them. Spotted a broken or outdated link? Tell us and we'll fix it.
