A Brisbane family looking at an independent school asks the cost question first, and then a harder one: compared with what? A single tuition figure means very little until it is set beside the other schools a family could realistically drive to. That comparison is what this section is for, and every figure in it is read from what each school publishes.

The Year 7 fee, against its neighbours

Each dot is a school within a short drive that publishes a Year 7 fee. The upright marker is this one, and the median and range underneath come from the same handful of schools — not from a state average, which would flatter everybody.

Read the gap rather than the order. The useful question is not who sits where on the line; it is how far apart the ends are, because that distance is repeated every year a child is enrolled, and Year 7 is the rung where it usually widens.

Two things the line does not show. This school publishes tuition year by year rather than as one headline number, so the fee a family actually meets depends on the year level they enter at. And tuition is only the invoiced part: levies, camps, technology, uniforms and boarding all sit outside it. The school's own fee schedule is where the current year's figures live, along with the application, confirmation and advance amounts and the three payment arrangements it offers. What we hold is what was published; that page is what you will be invoiced.

The other line in the same budget

Tuition is the number a family can look up a year ahead. The sport, music and tutoring that happen after the bell are the ones that move — and they are priced by the suburb rather than by the school, which makes the mix above part of the cost of choosing this address rather than a separate subject.

Where to go from here: open one of those activities for its published prices, ages and class times, or widen the search to every Queensland school we hold and put a few fee-charging ones side by side.
