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 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
My teachers were very supportive and kind people that inspired me to purse education as a career. My biology and English teachers especially provided valuable life skills.
Review Bullying and getting to school safely
I was bullied quite severely which had a very big impact on my learning and quality of life as a whole. The school at first wasn't able to do much but after realising the issues were with its current policies they made amendments and did their best to manage the situation. My teachers were very supportive and the school was very receptive of feedback from all the cohorts as to how they can improve.
Review Getting extra help
During exam blocks, teachers in maths and science had after school tutoring available for students' pressing questions. English and humanities teachers were always keen to look over feedback and were always welcoming for students to discuss their work. Numeracy and literacy programs were available in year 11 to prepare us for year 12 Most importantly, teachers believed in their students. They knew when to be serious to tell us to get our head in the game, but also kind enough to be encouraging. They were all about student learning and always aimed to help out students in every aspect.
Review School culture
The school was about in between. Teachers were patient about students being late, and could handle overall "students being students" without resentment or drama. My cohort/year level got involved alot with athletics day, carnivals and multicultural week, so students were quite collaborative and it wasnt hard to fit in, even as a migrant student. Across year levels, students also worked together really well. Being in multiple extracurricular activities, I had been in the position to teach, learn and mentor across every aspect of school. Student leadership was also critically based on teamwork and synergy; captains worked very well with younger leaders and being friendly and supportive was centred in the centenary culture.
