Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Ascot State School: Another Queensland Department of Education primary school in inner Brisbane. Directly comparable in funding model, governance (IPS or equivalent), curriculum, and catchment-based enrollment approach, making it the closest peer for benchmarking operations.
• New Farm State School: Inner-Brisbane state primary school operating under the same Queensland Department of Education framework. Comparable in size, mission, and reliance on catchment-based enrollment, with similar P&C and OSHC service structures.
• Milton State School: Queensland state primary school in an inner-Brisbane suburb adjacent to Rainworth. Same funding source, same state curriculum, and similar family demographics in the catchment area.

Broad incumbents

• Brisbane Grammar School: Large, established independent boys' school in inner Brisbane. Competes for the same family cohort in the catchment area and offers Prep to Year 12, but is fee-based and selective, making it a broader incumbent rather than a direct comparator.
• Somerville House: Independent girls' school in South Brisbane offering primary and secondary education. Serves the same broader Brisbane family demographic on a fee-paying model, competing indirectly for families who might otherwise default to local state primaries.
• Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie): Large Anglican independent boys' school in East Brisbane. Operates across primary and secondary years and competes for the same Brisbane family pool that feeds Rainworth's catchment.
• St Peters Lutheran College: Large independent school in Indooroopilly serving primary through Year 12. Competes for the same Brisbane western-suburbs family demographic and offers an alternative fee-based pathway that can divert students from the state system.
