Also, if you are one of those rare couples or singles not looking to have kids (at least for awhile) avoiding these suburbs can get you a similar house/location for several hundred thousand less. You might get a bit less capital growth, but you might get a house in a great location for a price you can afford if you don't care about the schools. So it works both ways. Just be informed when you make your offer, you will need a very strong offer in these good school catchments, and can put in a little less crazy of an offer outside of them.
Thank you, Luke. We are preparing to immigrate to Brisbane. Your channel helps me a lot. Not only for the information but also for practicing my English.
As someone who attends Cavendish road state high, it's only my second year at the school and the fights let alone how poorly the students are treated by staff is just atrocious
Thanks for the list.. All of them score high on betterededucation website. Except Albany creek SHS. May I pls know the reason why this school is mentioned on the list?
As a former Mansfield High student, would I enrol my daughter there? No way. School is even bigger than it was when I was there and we had 13 year 12 classes back then. It’s bigger now. Teachers don’t care about you. It’s a sink or swim school with no culture.
The only way to get into Mansfield is to be in catchment, have a sibling already attending the school, or be accepted into one of their excellence programs: French, Music, or IT. Out of catchment students must compete with other students for a place in one class for each of the excellence programs, which are highly contested and A-level students are not guaranteed a place in them. While there are a huge number of students, I've found the teachers place the same care and attention on their students as at smaller schools. The primary schools within the Mansfield catchment are also fantastic schools. Great video Luke!
can confirm what is said here is true, except now I'm pretty sure the sibling rule doesn't apply anymore. There are people I know who bought houses in catchment just to get in the school but the school you go to doesn't affect your level of success in life
Thank you, Luke. I am going to Brisbane to pursue a Higher Research Degree at QUT, and I want to bring my little girl from Indonesia. I need some information about the state school near the QUT Garden Points campus.
Hi, I am an international student that will read in Rochedale SHS in 2024,I see a lot of students in this school said it’s very terrible an teacher is very strict to the uniform. I’m very worry about it,is it the trues?
