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 Encouraging shy performers
There were often workshops where everyone had to participate so that more people tried out
6 more from Brisbane Bayside State College
Review Chances to take part in the arts
There are plenty of opportunities at bayside for art programs including clubs and could range in beginners to more competition type activities
Review Support for auditions and competitions
I believe it was alright but the support was quite limited in arts
Review Chances to take part in the arts
The opportunities to participate in arts programs is vast at Brisbane Bayside State College. The school is equipped with its own art gallery, to showcase past students arts. The school commonly hosts musicals, so drama students can see what performing on the big stage feels like. The reception for these musicals has been especially positive.
Review Year 12 exam support
They provided an awful lot of support and considering only about 80 students were doing exams there were so many opportunities to have one on one meetings with teachers and guidance officers overall it was really good
Review Subject range and curiosity
Brisbane Bayside State College offered a large diversity of subject choices, such as psychology, agriculture, design, art, and more. These classes always have students signing up for them, and a large positive response was received via a more diverse subject selection.
Review Something only students would know
The sport house group named 'Dabobila' is the worst in terms of performance. They rarely ever win anything, and everyone in the school knows it. Its a recurring joke.
