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?
I think that for people who can be self-sufficient and fend for themselves a little, this school is great and provides a huge amount of opportunities. However, for less advantaged people, I wouldn’t recommend it as it isn’t the kindest if you’re not proactive. For example, I had this friend who was falling behind in terms of grades and schoolwork. Where the school could have helped her improve to where she once was, they instead punished her.

Review What had the biggest impact
Being a Prefect and also a part of the Tech Team was great in developing personal skills. I felt in both roles the main connecting thread was that I worked in a team with other people. This really helped develop my teamwork and collaboration skills. Mr Tacon is also good.

Review School culture
It tried to be strict but failed mostly. Pretty progressive as far as admin and teachers go, students mostly stuck to groups (especially in later years) and it was hard to find an in.
Review School culture
there were strict policies and counseling services to address conflicts. Most students felt safe and supported.
