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 CDSHS because it offers a strong academic curriculum, a variety of extracurricular activities, and a supportive learning environment. The school has excellent facilities and dedicated teachers who are passionate about student success. However, some areas, like student well-being support and discipline, could be improved.

    Review Bullying and getting to school safely

    Bullying was present, as it is in most schools, but the effectiveness of the school’s response varied. Some students felt that the school took issues seriously and acted quickly, while others thought there could be more proactive measures, such as better enforcement of policies or more student support services. Peer support programs and school counselors helped, but there was still room for improvement. For the most part, traveling to and from school felt safe. However, some students were concerned about busy intersections near the school and traffic congestion, especially during pick-up and drop-off times. Occasionally, there were reports of suspicious individuals near the school grounds, but the school took precautions, such as notifying students and staff.

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
