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?
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 What had the biggest impact
Most positive aspect was how hard the teachers tried. Whether you were a straight A student or a parley passing student they found the time to seriously help and pay attention to both. Most negative thing has nothing to do with the school just one teacher who just retired in the middle of a term leaving us and causing us to fail that term and then the school begging him to come back which he did and then everything was fine.
Review Would you recommend it?
Yes, whilst it is growing now, it had a small, community-like feel to it that made it feel like everyone was cared for. Although it was a small school, it had the size and feel like it was a large one.
Review What had the biggest impact
One specific moment doesn't stand out, however, I had a great relationships with each teacher, and they assisted me whenever I needed help.
Review School culture
The schools culture was super chill and relaxed lunch time showed that as students were all in their own worlds doing what they want and not causing havok you'd have small groups big groups chill groups and the competitive sports groups on the oval, there was a group for everyone.
Review School culture
Very strict on uniform (detention if no hat, for example). In regards to overall vibe, everyone was nice and laid back, just like Australian's tend to be.

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
