In their words
Which schools suit what your child loves?
Search for a sport, instrument, subject or worry to see which Brisbane schools people mention it at, and what they said. Tick up to three schools to compare them.

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
The L block stairs are torture especially if you have classes at the top floor and it's a hot day. Honestly wasn't that bad but it was a running joke amongst my cohort. When the Kedron brook floods the ovals get flooded so sport is limited during that time and while they dry out. A surprising thing that happened was a few times over the years the premier of qld would land their helicopter on the oval while visiting the emergency services complex next door. Can't say that about other schools haha.

Review Something only students would know
Honestly nothing. This school was pretty boring but nothing comes to mind for this question unfortunately
Review Getting extra help
All of my teacher I had were happy to help anyone outside of class whether it be before school, during breaks or after school. If you were struggling in a core subject you could easily talk to the academic coaching team and they could come up with a solution to try and help. There was also rooms at lunch time that student could help each other out in especially in year 12. There was a school chaplain on site all week and even a psychiatrist on certain days so support was definitely there.
Review Subject range and curiosity
For me there was plenty of options and it was actually hard to decide what subjects I wanted to do. Lots of practical activity were done in each subject I had. I also had plenty of excursions which also helped me stay engaged in the subject. I would say nearly no two people had the same subjects unless they were heavily academic doing all the top subjects.
Review Would you recommend it?
I would definitely recommend Kedron to others as it doesn't feel like any other public school. It feels more akin to a private school with it's behaviour and uniform standards as well as academics. Plenty of subjects to choose from depending on your future goals. Excellent arts department, great trades department as well as great STEM teachers. All of my teaches were really involved in their subject and wanted everyone to succeed. Personally didn't participate in any extracurricular activities but there was a plethora of options from sports to rocketry. There is also a strict no phones policie which when starting in year 7 I did not like but over the years you adjust and by the end I understood why it was a thing. It brings everyone closer together at lunch breaks as you have to actually socialise rather than just being on your phone. The tuckshop was also loved by everyone offering a wide range of foods and different specials depending on the day.
