School Enrolment Capacity
Fig Tree Pocket State School has the capacity to enrol up to 522 students. Our current enrolment sits at around 480 students, spanning from Prep to Year 6. Due to continued strong demand, the school operates under an Enrolment Management Plan. Details of the Fig Tree Pocket SS Enrolment Management Plan can be found here.
Local Catchment Area
The school's ability to enrol students from outside the local catchment depends on a number of key factors:
- overall enrolment numbers
- prioritising placements for in-catchment students
- allowing for anticipated in-catchment growth throughout the year
- maintaining balanced class sizes and consistent year-level distribution
To find out whether your residential address falls within our catchment zone, please use the Department of Education's catchment map tool.
