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 Coaching and chances to compete

    Coaches were dedicated to every athlete in each team and provided opportunities by developing the team spirit and indivual performance, and giving students the opportunities to play games for school sport, and take their talent to levels exceeding the school level (ie regional, state)

    Review Coaching and chances to compete

    They did a good job at getting us to an average level considering a lot of people weren’t trying to get to an elite level in the sports I played but with the sports programs available I heard the training was very good and we have produced several national level athletes in recent history.

    Review Would you recommend it?

    I would recommend the school to othera if they are into accademics and sport as these are high priorities of the school, and students which take an interest in these areas will benefit from the support and opportunities provided the most at the school.

    Review What had the biggest impact

    Mrs Neilson was my favourite teacher and is very good at her job and makes sure each and every student understand the content and offers her help at any time. The teachers in general were the highlight of the school but also the sports program was also very fun.

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
