[North Eveleigh] School Intake Area Review - input until 4 July.

[Geoff Turnbull (REDWatch Spokesperson)]

Hi North Eveleigh people
This is an email to get word out to people about a School Intake Area Review that will likely be of interest to some parents on the Darlington side of North Eveleigh. Please pass this email on to others who might be interested. It can also be shared from the REDWatch Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/RedfernEveleighDarlingtonWaterlooWatch> page.
The Department of Education is undertaking a review of inner west and inner west primary school catchments.
They have developed a survey and one question asks people to consider alignment between   primary and secondary intake areas as well any aspects of your school's existing intake area that create challenges for the community when accessing your school.
There has been concern in the northern part of Darlington and Redfern about not being in the intake area for the Inner Sydney High School. Parts of these suburbs to the west of Redfern Station are instead in the Alexandria Park Community High School intake area. If there was a bridge over the railway line at Carriageworks then Alexandria Park would be close to Darlington and the new housing proposed for North Eveleigh.
But Transport for NSW still opposes this bridge, meaning children going to high school from Darlington have very long trips via Redfern Station to Alexandria Park. The infographic below shows the problem for Darlington parents and their children.
You can see the intake areas on https://schoolfinder.education.nsw.gov.au/
You can do the Inner West and Inner City Primary Schools survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/86XSLDV
You can tell Department of Education they too should push Transport NSW for a Bridge
You can support the Build a Bridge Campaign supported by REDWatch, Alexandria Residents Action Group (ARAG) and Friends of Erskineville (FoE) at https://actionnetwork.org/letters/build-a-bridge
