Where our data comes from
Activities and providers on AroundSchools come from our own directory, and our school list starts from ACARA's Australian Schools List. Every figure that comes from government or open data — school zones, term dates, results, population, property prices, recorded crime — is credited on the page that uses it, and listed here with its publisher, licence and original link so you can check it yourself.
AroundSchools is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any of these publishers. We refresh the data regularly, but it can trail a publisher's latest release; check with the school or the publisher before a decision that matters.
