School Management Catchment Area
A school's local catchment area is the geographical area from which the school is to have its core intake of students. A catchment map defines the catchment area for Scenic Shores State School. A hard copy of this map is available at the school's administration building and it can be viewed online at www.qgso.qld.gov.au/maps/edmap/
