1 school where people talk about “drama” and starting and settling in (with your filters).

Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “drama” and starting and settling in

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 Bullying and getting to school safely

    I had migrated from the Philippines to Australia when i started in year 8. In my 5 years of education there i had not encountered any bullying issues. I also walked to school everyday, which had no issues. Every now and again there would be a big drama between students, but no pattern or theme. There are teachers at the school that are prepared to handle such situations with an ironclad discipline but also kind enough to be encouraging.

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
