1 school where people talk about “music” and the school overall (with your filters).

Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “music” and the school overall

Also counting related words: band, orchestra, choir, instrumental, ensemble. Schools where “music” 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 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 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.

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
