all in all, Capalaba has a lot going for it, providing you pick the right part.

Sheldon College costs about $5,000 per year. Which is a bit more than twice the normal rate for a lot of the Christian based Private schools over here. However, compared to UK private schools ?I recommend it myself, as my daughter goes there, and is very happy.
Ormiston College is also close, and about the same price, and well rated too.

I had a feeling that I remembered it being mentioned that it was a fair bit more in the UK
The prices here explain why about 30%+ of students go to private schools in Australia.

Don't suppose anything will come of it though...
