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 Balancing academics and wellbeing
Yes. They prioritize making sure thst the students aren't given so much work to stress them out. In classes, they explain terms and lessons to the children in ways they can all understand.

Review Expectations versus reality
It is very good. It is an International Baccalaureate school and focuses on providing an individual approach for each student.

Review Expectations versus reality
The school met my academic expectations. There were talks about the new school should be similar standard as Brisbane State high but I never expect it to be, since its students are mostly from the catchment. Only small proportion of students are through the selective entry program.

Review Why we chose this school
It’s a brand new school with great facilities and great reputation just after opening two years. My child passed the selective entry exam as out of catchment student and gained entry to its Biomedical and Science Academy. It's a state school so the cost is minimal. We are very happy with the school.
