Compare government, Catholic, and independent schools in North Brisbane.
Brisbane's northside runs from leafy inner suburbs like The Gap and Kedron out through Chermside and Sandgate to the growth belt at North Lakes and the Redcliffe peninsula. It's a big, varied catchment of 126 schools, and its strength is depth rather than one famous name: Northside Christian College at Everton Park and Hillbrook Anglican School at Enoggera lead the independents, Mount Alvernia College at Kedron heads an unusually strong Catholic sector (31 schools — one of the densest concentrations in Queensland), and government primaries like The Gap State School and Kedron State School hold their own against any private competitor. St Paul's School at Bald Hills is the pick of the outer-north independents, while The Lakes College serves the newer North Lakes estates. Catchment matters on the northside — the best state primaries here are genuinely sought after — so check the zone maps alongside the rankings. Looking further north past the Pine River, the Moreton Bay region page covers Redcliffe, Narangba and Caboolture in more detail.
