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 Bullying and getting to school safely

    personally, I have not witnessed any physical bulling, it is more so kids gossiping or ostracising the individual. In terms of commuting to school I never felt worried about my safety. However, it is noted that since we are next to Garden City, there may be some concerns if something was to happen over there. Normally if any of these issues arise the school holds an assembly to discuss these matters or have guest speakers talking e.g how to drive safely, anti-bulling
