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 Bullying and getting to school safely

    I was never actively bullied at the school I’m unaware of anyone I know that was bullied either. However, that isn’t to say that it doesn’t happen I just had no experience with it.

    Review Bullying and getting to school safely

    Bullying is a very prevalent issue. Unfortunately, the school is lackluster in the way it combats this. It took 3 separate incidents and several emails from my parents and I before the school did anything about my younger brother's bullying. The roads around the school lacked proper management and had abysmal traffic flow, and many parents drive recklessly, including crossing double white lines at no right turn signs into the drop off zone. It took until my dad's car got hit by a reckless parent for the police or the council to take any action about it.

Reviews come from parents and former students whose link to the school we've checked. Open Day Reflections come from our recordings at 2026 open days. 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
