1 school where people talk about “coding” and music, drama and art (with your filters).

Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “coding” and music, drama and art

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 Chances to take part in the arts

    Really high quality! Very passionate teachers who built an extremely strong arts program. Musicals every second year written by students and teachers in collaboration, lots of performance opportunities and an after school arts excellence program with professional workshops.

    Review What had the biggest impact

    The arts program was fantastic, and run by extremely passionate teachers. There were some poor teachers there - at one point I was sexually harassed by a teacher who the school knew was creepy to students and it ended up becoming a legal matter. He was let go after it escalated legally, though. Other teachers were openly racist or homophobic. Generally, a culture of permissiveness towards whatever teachers did, even if it was objectively harmful.

    Review What had the biggest impact

    personally there was no programs or teachers who are currently at the school now that stood out to me. There was one teacher that I did have for chemistry who was very supportive and understanding although not being the class with the most well-behaved students she would always put her best interest towards the students first and would do her best to help. However, this teacher has now moved to a different school and is no longer a staff member at the school hence there are no specific teachers who stood out and there weren’t too many opportunities that the other teachers and council were able to offer to the students. To find opportunities the students had to go out of their way and research and bring these topics and possible opportunities up to the guidance officer in order to get their attention and to gain support over specific opportunities that they wanted to take on.

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
