What matters most for your child?

Choose up to three things. For each Brisbane school, you'll see how often people mention them, whether they speak well of them, and what they said.

1 Up to three priorities 1 of 3 chosen
Your priorities: Sport in general. Change

Sport

Music and the arts

Learning

Wellbeing and belonging

How this works
  • Comments come from reviews by parents and former students, and from Open Day Reflections recorded at 2026 open days. Each one that mentions your priority counts once.
  • Speak well, mixed or raise concerns is worked out by software, using only the sentences about your priority. It's right most of the time but not always, so read what people said.
  • Best fit puts schools that match more of your priorities first, then those where more reviews speak well of them. It isn't a ranking of how good a school is.
  • Distances are measured in a straight line from your suburb or rounded location.

Some comments are locked. A free account opens state school reviews and Open Day Reflections, and you don't need a card. For independent, competitive-entry state and Catholic schools, both are part of Full Access (one $289 payment).
