i think it's like that here too Div - it's all the same school, just different campuses - and it's zoned depending on where you live and i am under the impression you need to fight to go to the campus that isn't nearest you. the high school i went to was the same (well, not in the town i was in - there was only one campus - but there were two campuses as well as the senior campus in the next town - and you were zoned to the school nearest you)

the primary schools in the towns i grew up in were the same. mum actually lived in one of the towns when one of the schools opened and she was one of the poor sods forced to move school based on her address.
