Click any marker for details, fees, NAPLAN and a website link. Toggle primary schools (squares) separately from secondary (diamonds). Clicking a school shows its catchment: in Queensland, a solid boundary for government schools (the official state catchment) or a dashed circle for Catholic/independent schools (indicative only). In Victoria, all schools show a dashed indicative circle — Victoria doesn't publish school zones as open map data, so check the exact zone at findmyschool.vic.gov.au (linked in each map).
Only one shaded overlay shows at a time — turning one on turns the other off, so the colours never clash.
Each map also has an Insurance / crime info button with links to the live official sources, and a ⌂ Home button back to this page. On phones the legend collapses to a tappable "Legend / key".
