Ah Stuartholme, with your stained glass window and your old conventy ways... was my school for 3…read moreyears here in Brisbane. Although the architecture of the school has since been updated and modernised, the old school remains true to the Sacred Heart motto. Being an all girl Catholic day and boarding school has its perks, for parents looking for prospective places to enrol your child for years 8-12 this is a good one, the prices are a bit steep a term, in 2012 you're looking at about $3000 a term and just over $4000 to have your child board as well, the food, the values and the school life is one that has built many memories for me both good and bad. If you're getting married, they have a chapel with a massive stained glass window, many old Stuartholme girls always head that way to be married as it's huge and beautiful and looks awesome in the wedding photos. I would definetely send my daughter here if we can afford it in the future!

This university is selfish and manipulative. It does not support its students what's so ever and…read morecontinues to encourage you to drop out if you ask for help. They are disorganised and discouraging. I have struggled with so much during my time studying and have asked for a helping hand in numerous occasions and they tell me to drop out and say I won't succeed. Also don't attend if you are pregnant because they will continue to pressure you to do things that you have been instructed are not safe during pregnancy (by your own dr). I have basically been instructed that I have to terminate in order to graduate otherwise it is best I drop out of my studies if I wish to be a mother.

I had heard about Griffith University before I even moved to Australia, I decided to look into it…read morewhen I wanted to further my studies. I took a 1 year course at Griffith in the Business school. The first thing was to attend to a meet and greet evening which was quite nice because you got to meet all the lecturers and students that you were going to be doing the course with. It also felt like that gave the whole experience a more personal touch. It was also a chance to be shown around the enormous campus with its many computer labs and library that has just been renovated. I had a great year over all at Griffith and found that the courses were fun and the lecturers did an amazing job and everything was quite up to date with current affairs and trends and I felt like it has set me up with the skills that I set out to acquire from the business school. I was also pleased to find out that Griffith University was rated in the top 10 of Australian research institutes. It wasn't hard to learn where everything was on the campus and I was glad to find the bar that had some great student nights. I would recommend Griffith University to anyone who wants to further their education. There are open nights during the year that will better explain all the courses that are provided and at what campus they will be held. Its also a chance for people to check out the place for themselves and meet people who went there and are teaching there.

As a very distinguished alumni from this institution, I am…read morepretty pleased with my school. I finished high school a nervous wreck, I wasn't sure about uni and didn't want to spend the equivalent of a home loan trying to find out if it was right for me. So I headed to the Southbank campus, I can't get over just how friendly and understanding the staff members are here. I was lead through the process and enrolled in a day. The fee's seem really reasonable for what you are getting back in return and its one of the best hands on technical colleges in Brisbane. The universities are also taking note, and so partnerships are flourishing between the two. This is good news for us, because getting a university pathway after a Tafe vocation is now easier than ever. So if you're young or old, just finished high school or need a new career I recommend you head to their website and check out their courses. You never know what you'll find.

This is by far one of Brisbane's finest all boys schools. Renowned for it's sporting teams and…read moreacademic high achievers, it is also the school my brother attended and boarded for a fair few years. They have since started a Prep year so you can essentially have your son in here from 5 years of age. A term will set you back a hefty $7000-$8000 depending on the school, but the quality of education is first class. They even have a IB (International Baccalaureate) program for the high school which means your son can apply to colleges and universities all over the world, as it's internationally recognised. It's also part of the elite group of schools around Brisbane including the prestigious Brisbane Grammar School and St Peters. If you can afford to send your son here, it's well worth your price.

My daughter is very lucky to be attending Eatons Hill OSH Club for her third year running. The…read moreladies who run the Club, Bev and Fran, are just lovely - just like an extension to the family. The OSH Club can be hard to get into as it only provides care to existing families and they have a waiting list for others. This year they moved from a small classroom style building into the new gymnasium which has allowed them to extend their numbers. If you are a working parent looking for exception before and after school care for your children, I highly recommend Eatons Hill OSH Club. They offer before and after school care and also run a school holiday program with themed days and fun activities.

It's clean and new and neat, but best of all, my friend's son was failing year 6 mathematics and after two terms here he scored an A. The downside is it's much more expensive than finding remedial help yourself privately; often if you can find a uni student willing to tutor, it would be about half the price of attending Fruition Tuition, but then again, whatever works is the best solution and it's great to have this option in the Manly area.
