What secondary schools are there in Brisbane, Australia?
General situation of public high schools
Like China, Australia's public secondary schools will be divided by address, and there will be at least one public primary school in each large area. Private secondary schools have no requirement for address division. It is mentioned in the introduction of primary schools that all schools whose names include state schools are public schools, and those whose names do not include state schools or communities are basically private schools.

At present, the population density is still moderate, so the development of apartments is still waiting for the opportunity.

General situation of private high schools
As mentioned at the beginning, the advantage of private high schools is that they do not divide school districts. You can live anywhere in Brisbane, but you don't have to worry that your children are not even qualified to register. The threshold of private schools lies in the children's talent and achievements, and these two keys and the children's entrance interview will be the decisive factors for admission.
Different from the unified education system in which public secondary schools are co-educational, there will be some differences between private schools. When men and women are mixed in private schools, there will be differences between boys' schools, girls' schools and missionary schools. Therefore, when planning a school for your child, you should communicate with your child in advance. After all, the environment of single-sex schools and missionary schools is very different from that of domestic schools.
Religious schools will offer religious courses to let students learn religious classics and ideas. After all, there are some differences between western thought and eastern thought, which will be a great test for children's adaptability. However, if children can absorb these ideas well, it will lay a good foundation for their future integration into local or western society. Of course, this needs to be weighed by parents themselves.
