Makrobak is an independent website that explains how school enrolment works in Australia and publishes plain-English profiles of NSW public schools. We are not affiliated with any government department, school or school sector.
Makrobak is written and maintained by Lewis Ellanos. Contact: hello@makrobak.com.
Data source and licence
School profiles are based on the NSW public schools master dataset published by the NSW Department of Education on Data.NSW under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. © State of New South Wales (Department of Education). Data extracted 2 October 2026.
What we publish
We currently profile 390 schools in 26 local government areas. Each profile combines the official fields – address, year levels, enrolment, contact details, founding date – into readable text. We do not rank schools, publish test results or write reviews.
Guides
Our guides on enrolment, catchment zones and moving are general information based on state and territory education department sources. They are not legal or migration advice. Always check the official sources linked on each page.
Corrections
If something is wrong or out of date, let us know. Schools can also ask us to correct their profile.
