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 “drama” and music, drama and art (with your filters).
Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “drama” and music, drama and art
Also counting related words: theatre, musical, performing arts. Schools where “drama” 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 chose English, Math Methods, Drama, Film, Visual Art, and Legal Studies. I would have been in music over legal studies however the admin wouldn't let me.

Review Chances to take part in the arts
There are plenty of opportunities for arts students. We have the annual musical, as well as two additional plays throughout the year. There was an extracurricular choir, dance club, visual art exhibitions, a short film company, and more.
Review What had the biggest impact
I suppose the creative arts element of my education there made a huge difference. I was in the musical for 4 years and learned to become myself more over those years.
Review What had the biggest impact
The school musical was an absolute standout for me. I was involved in the musical for 5 years, and the whole teaching team (J. Wood, J. Forman, J. Gill, M. Angelino, C. Ramsay and K. Rodrigues) were absolutely wonderful people who changed the course of my high school. I would not be in my current degree if it were not for them.
Review Something only students would know
There's a "ghost" that lives in the performing arts centre (CPAC), and that's why all the doors slam and the wind rustles in strange ways.
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
