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 Year 12 subject choices
Biology, Science in practice, Literature, General Maths and General Art. I really enjoyed these subjects and the people in them, the teachers I had really inspired me and the teacher I hope to become.

Review Subject range and curiosity
I think the school offered good subject choices that allowed students to pursue their interests. Many subjects such as Science in practice alos encompassed other fields such as forensics, biology, anatomy and ecology.
Review Year 12 subject choices
Math Methods Physics English English Extension Legal Studies Economics Spanish I was good at the humanities, and had prepared to study mathematics and economics which i now do at university. I would've changed instead to study specialist maths, but it wasn't a big deal. No regrets.
Review Subject range and curiosity
I think I've expressed my sentiment on extra curricular activities. The school did science showcase events, which i participated in. The school recently sent a student in a different cohort to Switzerland to explore the hadron collider and participate in a CERN program. Opportunities are there for students that want them. They also put there hand up for interschool maths competitions, events at universities, and many more.
Review Readiness for life after school
I felt quite prepared, especially in grade 12 many teachers would share their own stories from university, giving advice on maintaining study skills and how the shift can be quite jarring. The school was very supportive of pathways outside of university as well such as Tafe and apprenticeships.
Review Would you recommend it?
Yes I would recommend this school. The teachers are knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects they teach which make for engaging and informative lessons.
Review What had the biggest impact
I had an AMAZING group of teachers both in the 7 subjects i studied and my extra curricular subjects. A great variety of extra curricular activities were offered to students, which really gave me plenty of opportunity to learn and of course have fun.
