How we work these numbers out

Order. “Best match” puts schools where your exact word comes up first. “Most talked about” uses the share of reviews that mention it. Neither is a ranking of how good a school is.
Comes up in X% of reviews is the share of the school's reviews that mention your search. The Brisbane average is the same share across all Brisbane schools.
Speak well, mixed or raise concerns is worked out by software, using only the sentences about your search. It's right most of the time but not always, so read what people said.
What students did comes from the sports and activities former students ticked in their review. We show it when at least 3 answered.
Evidence is strong when 5 or more of at least 10 reviews mention it, some when 2 or more people do, and thin when only one person does.
Facts such as fees, ATAR and enrolments come from each school's own documents. Fees cover different year levels at different schools, so compare carefully.
Open Day Reflections come from our visits to 2026 open days. They're useful, but they reflect the school's own voice.

The school was about in between. Teachers were patient about students being late, and could handle overall "students being students" without resentment or drama. My cohort/year level got involved alot with athletics day, carnivals and multicultural week, so students were quite collaborative and it wasnt hard to fit in, even as a migrant student. Across year levels, students also worked together really well. Being in multiple extracurricular activities, I had been in the position to teach, learn and mentor across every aspect of school. Student leadership was also critically based on teamwork and synergy; captains worked very well with younger leaders and being friendly and supportive was centred in the centenary culture.

I would definitely recommend the school. I was the kind of student to do all kinds of extra curricular activities and the school had provided plenty of opportunities for all kinds of students. Their performance plus program and participation into CGEN competitions is a great creative outlet for arts students to develop their talents and gain exposure to industry and community. The school is also a regular sporting competitor at the state level, and has a competitive spirit that cannot be ignored across all sports programs. I was part of the basketball team, and have seen students excel in athletics, swimming, rugby, touch football and many more. The school has also welcomed a serious chess program, with mentors, a FIDE master, and chess teachers paving the way for students to get better at the game. Students have also regularly placed in district competitions and are fighting their way through higher level comps. The school has an outstanding debating and public speaking endeavour. I have adjudicated and competed at the national level, and have placed in competitions by the english speaking union and U.N youth.

Reviews come from parents and former students whose link to the school we've checked. Open Day Reflections come from our recordings at 2026 open days. Words in [brackets] were unclear, and […] marks a skipped part. They reflect the school's own voice, so read them alongside the reviews. How reviews work
