Here at Families Magazine, we believe that it is important to use a range of information to help determine a suitable high school in Brisbane for your child/ren. Unless you have chosen a P-12 school for your child’s primary school education, it is not too long until you are faced with the decision of which secondary school to turn to next.

Understanding academic reporting in Brisbane secondary schools

Families researching secondary schools often look at publicly available NAPLAN information from Year 9 in areas such as literacy and numeracy. This information can provide useful context, but it does not capture the full educational experience offered by a school.

This article provides an overview of secondary school options across Brisbane, including Catholic, Independent and state schools that families frequently explore when researching secondary education. It does not rank schools or assess academic performance.

Any references to academic reporting are explanatory only and are not intended to evaluate or compare schools.
