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
They made a strive to make us prepared for university and honestly they did a decent job but in my honest opinion they really cannot prepare you, everyone will have a unique experience everyone journey will be different and you cannot tailor your teaching to every student. However, they tried their best to help us in our transition and it did help, they had one on one talks with students about choosing their degree and were blatantly honest with whether you could make it or not which I thank them for.

Review Readiness for life after school
Somehow, the school both over and underprepared me at the same time, in the sense that they didn't describe what modern-day uni is like very well.
Review Getting extra help
As I said before teachers were super accesable, you could ask them during class to come to throwing and they would almost always be obliging if they didn't have prior plans, again the after school tutoring is completely free. And peer feedback was very plentiful and engaged, we did so in each class essentially in a weekly basis.
Review Subject range and curiosity
Most interesting ones were one where you worked on a plane so something with mechanics, they also had design like art but more tailored towards learning how to tailor to customers, they also had some really cool history classes which I didn't take. There were also many activities during lunch and after school which were related to science technology and planes and UAV so there were many opportunities.
Review Would you recommend it?
The school isn't the biggest meaning classes are smaller which allows teachers to spend more time with students. Teachers there are fantastic and actually support you and help you. After school there are free tutorials in the library where you can request your teacher or past students the school hires and pays to come after school and tutor other students. There's a wide variety of classes ranging from the most advanced math to robotics, UAV certification classes and even working on fixing planes which was super hands on and all done inside the plane hanger. My experience was awesome, I got a wake up call in year 10 when I finally failed a math class and my math teacher saw I was truely distraught, she then talked to me gave me extra work to do checked up on me before and after class and even went to the afterschool tutoring to help me out.
Review Bullying and getting to school safely
Bullying was most defienkty not a problem, teachers were out on patrol like hawks not only during lunch hours but inbetween classes to catch anyone sus. Anyone caught bullying or preying on someone else was treated very harshly and was not able to get their parents to just call in and get them out of it. Getting to school was easy. Nice 10 15 minute walk from Toombul station across the river and you're sorted or you could also walk from eagle junction station in the same amount of time, and with 4 or 5 bus stops within the outskirts of the school busses were fine aswell. There's a nice car drop off area and a massive parking lot. Roads were obviously busy but there is a sanctioned zebra walk to get to the school that is always watched and used by a teacher after school and the principle himself every single day after school acts as the traffic warden at the busiest part where cars come in drop off and park and children pass so he is awesome and is always willing to make time for you if needed.
Review Coaching and chances to compete
I did t do it at a competitive place but it was cool and with the competitive ones they had training before school, after school and even some during weekends so that would've been good for them.tge other students were also coached during their classes but imorubing the general students skill wasn't super encouraged, the elites though we're very much encouraged and it did help them win a bunch.
