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 senior subject teachers were amazing, and the way they taught was not only vital to my academic success, but also inspired me to pursue a career in teaching senior maths. I had plenty of opportunities to engage in extracurricular activities or community events, and I was able to network with politicians, government officials and the Regional Director of Education through my school. The college has also recently constructed a new engineering precinct, and they are planning to offer senior engineering and design subjects to extend the variety of senior subjects.

Review Bullying and getting to school safely
Bullying was not a significant issue at my school, but when incidents did occur, the school dealt with them promptly and effectively. There was a clear anti-bullying policy, and students were encouraged to report any issues to the guidance counselors or teachers. I generally felt safe traveling to and from school, although there were some busy roads near the campus. The school addressed this by organizing safety workshops and providing crossing guards to help students navigate the traffic. Additionally, the school had a good relationship with local law enforcement, which helped ensure the safety of students in the surrounding area.
Review Something only students would know
One unique aspect of the school that only students would know is the "Secret Staircase" tradition. There's a lesser-known staircase in the old building that students believe brings good luck if you walk up it before a big exam.
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
