1 school where people talk about “anxiety” (with your filters).

Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “anxiety”

Also counting related words: anxious, mental health, wellbeing, counsell. Schools where “anxiety” itself comes up are listed first.

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.

    Review Balancing academics and wellbeing

    In my opinion, the school does a great job of balancing academic rigor with the overall well-being of students. While the academics are challenging, the staff is very supportive, ensuring that students have the resources they need to succeed without feeling overwhelmed. They also place a strong emphasis on mental health, offering counseling services and promoting a healthy work-life balance for the students.

    Review Balancing academics and wellbeing

    In my opinion, the school does a great job balancing academic rigor with student well-being. While academics are important, they also focus on mental health, emotional support, and creating a positive environment for students to thrive. It’s clear that they understand the importance of both strong academic performance and overall happiness.

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
