Mareeba school zones

The Mareeba council area in Queensland has 7 primary zones and 3 secondary zones for government schools. Each one is listed below with the suburbs it covers and the median rents around them.

Schools are in alphabetical order. A zone can cross a council border, so some suburbs listed here sit in a neighbouring council. A suburb can also be split between two zones - check your street address on Queensland catchment maps before you rely on it.

How do I check which school zone my address in Mareeba is in?

Zone lines follow streets, not suburb borders, so one suburb can be split between two zones. Type your street address into the address check on our school zones page, then confirm it on Queensland catchment maps, the official map, before you rely on it.

How to read this page

  • Which zones are listed - government schools located in the Mareeba council area that have an official zone. A few schools are left out because the zone data does not name them clearly; non-government and specialist schools have no zones.
  • Suburbs in the zone - suburbs the zone covers in whole or in a large part (at least 10% of the suburb or of the zone).
  • Prices and rents - the medians our suburb pages show for the statistical areas (ABS SA2) that contain the zone's suburbs, as the lowest and highest. They describe those whole areas, not only the streets inside the zone. Queensland publishes no free sale-price series, so only rent is shown.
  • ICSEA - a picture of the family backgrounds of a school's students (1000 is the national average). It describes student intake. It is not a ranking and not a measure of teaching.
