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 What had the biggest impact

    My maths teacher was the perfect balance of fun and teaching, every class was incredibly fun but also incredibly productive

    Review Would you recommend it?

    I would recommend this school to others because it is very big, accessible to public transport, and the size of the school means that there are students of many different types and interests.

    Review What had the biggest impact

    Doing the drama class in grades 10-12 was very impactful as I learnt a lot, had a very fun time, and made many friends. Volleyball was also super fun in senior year.

    Review School culture

    Modern, with a very high focus on inclusivity and lgbtq movements and the likes of that.

    Review School culture

    School culture could definitely be described as relaxed and modern with lots being invested in new facilities and students given plenty of freedom

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
