* The projections for Churchlands Senior High School have been presented as a range because the actual number of students who will choose to enrol at Bob Hawke College based on the “grandfather clause” included in the adjusted local-intake areas of Churchlands Senior High School, Mount Lawley Senior High School and Shenton College from 2020 is unknown. The grandfather clause provides students currently residing in the adjusted local-intake areas with a choice to enrol at their current local-intake area school or their new local-intake area school from 2020.
