1 school where people talk about “drama” and bullying and friendships (with your filters).

Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “drama” and bullying and friendships

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 Would you recommend it?

    It certainly depends, i would not let my little brothers but if it was a family that their only school was macgregor or sunnybank state high etc schools of that sort i would reccomend it the people there were really good for me at least i did witness bullying alot or just snarky comments/ talking behind each others backs and drama and alot of fights but i wasnt one to get bullied so i enjoyed the time and if i could go back to those lunch breaks or arvos with my mates i probably would. The academic quality was poor unless you were musically inclined as teachers didnt really teach too well but were nice and genuine people other than a fair few good people not great teachers.

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
