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 Something only students would know

    If you got warned "the pope" was coming it meant to quickly tuck in your uniform and make sure you looked presentable as possible. Mrs Rossipope was one of the admins and was the strictest on school uniforms and everyone called her the pope.

    Review School culture

    The school administrators tried to keep it strict but we were always a lot more relaxed and most teachers would relax a bit which made for less clashing. For example our senior prank was everyone swapping uniforms for the day - boys wearing the skirts and green shirts and girls wearing the white shirts and pants, and most teachers were on board, but the admins and year level coordinator withheld formal invitations to anyone who didn't change back. Everyone was in full correct uniform aside from gender, but it was considered 'disruptive'.

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
