Two primary schools in New Farm, two different rulebooks

New Farm has a state primary and a Catholic primary inside the suburb: New Farm State School, and Holy Spirit School, which the Brisbane Catholic Education finder lists as one of its primaries. If you are choosing between them — or looking further across the northside — the difference that matters first is how each one decides who gets a place.

State schoolBrisbane Catholic Education school
Who gets priorityStudents living inside the school's catchmentChildren baptised Catholic, and siblings in most cases
How the line is drawnA catchment map on EdMapArchdiocesan parish areas, with no catchment
Families from outsideRestricted once a school runs an enrolment management planAny faith background may apply

Catholic school fees are set by each school, and Brisbane Catholic Education says no student will be refused enrolment because of a family's genuine inability to pay.

Sources: how Queensland enrolment management plans work, the BCE enrolment FAQ and EdMap.

The northside beyond New Farm

The BCE finder filters by region and by school type, including secondary and Prep to Year 12 schools, which is the practical way to map the Catholic options for after Year 6. Each BCE school runs its own enrolment procedure, so timing questions go to the school.
