School Zone Map — Ivanhoe Streets
The Ivanhoe Grammar catchment covers most of the suburb but the premium is not uniform. Streets within 400m walking distance of the school command the highest premiums. Ivanhoe East Primary, Ivanhoe Primary and Bellfield Primary all have their own catchment micro-premiums — confirm catchment at choosemyschool.vic.gov.au before purchasing.
