In their words
Which schools suit what your child loves?
Search for a sport, instrument, subject or worry to see which Brisbane schools people mention it at, and what they said. Tick up to three schools to compare them.
1 school where people talk about “coding” (with your filters).
Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “coding”
Also counting related words: programming, robotics, digital technolog, computer science. Schools where “coding” 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 Year 12 subject choices
I did general english, maths, information technology, law, business and carpentry. Well I picked them because I want to pursue in computer science, at the same time I liked the idea of starting a business and so for law, to fight myself verbally incase of real world troubles. My favorite subject was business because it was really fun doing stuff in groups

Review Readiness for life after school
By the time I graduated from Craigslea, I felt well-prepared for life after school. The school offered strong academic support, career guidance, and work experience opportunities that helped me plan for university and future goals. Craigslea also encouraged values like honesty, perseverance, and integrity through leadership programs, group work, and community involvement, helping me grow both academically and personally
Review Coaching and chances to compete
Craigslea’s sports programs were well-run and gave students plenty of chances to grow and compete. Coaches were supportive, with regular training and a focus on teamwork and improvement. Students could represent the school in various sports and compete at district or regional levels, making it a great balance of development and opportunity
