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

    Bullying was not an issue at my school. There were always students who were mean or picked on others, but the school always intervened before it escalated to bullying. Ever since the change in administration in 2023, the principal and vice principal immediately took disciplinary action on any students who were engaging in bullying or other banned behaviour such as vaping. I feel that they dealt with this issue a lot better than the previous administration, and in my senior years I was glad to see that a lot of those students were simply suspended or expelled if their behaviour continued. The school itself was in a very safe area with no suspicious roads or persons around. There were a couple busy main roads around the school, but the traffic control system was efficient and effective at managing that risk.

    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.
