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 Readiness for life after school
After a few months I felt prepared, but after a year in business bachelors I felt like I did not belong there, and had begun to regret my decisions in high school. Though, learning cooking was a godsend.

Review Readiness for life after school
I was equipped with self-study skills and good independence. The school had very little part in equipping me with any skills besides a sense of cynicism and disillusionment with authority.
Review Year 12 subject choices
Drama, Business, Economics, and Physics. I took physics because I believed I was good at math, and economics and business because I believed that it would be my career pathway. Drama was there because I had enjoyed it the previous three years.
Review Subject range and curiosity
There were a fair few of subjects i think. I know we did not offer all of them, as i know people in uni who did engineering and study of religion and philosophy which were not offered. But yeah it's not like they didn't offer subject electives. Just mainly the basic ones like food studies and coding.

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
