This introduction and the sentences marked AI on this page were written with AI from the AroundSchools listings shown here (refreshed 22 Oct 2026) — what we've listed, not everywhere nearby, and it may be outdated. General information, not advice.

Something wrong here? Tell us and we'll correct or remove it.

South Brisbane's own listings span martial arts, tennis, swimming, tutoring and the arts, from Taekwondo-Hapkido to Erpac - Edmund Rice Performing Arts Centre.

Soccer, gymnastics and AFL are the gaps. Gymnastics points to East Brisbane and AFL to Milton, so check those suburbs' pages before choosing a club.

The schools section includes Brisbane State High School and the other schools inside South Brisbane, and the parks section lists libraries alongside playgrounds and pools.

AIFor AFL listings, open the Milton page, or see the Brisbane City Council guide for the council-wide picture.
