College in Hawthorn

“Our daughter commenced training with Stage School Australia in 2009, at the age of six, spending time in both the Young Australia Broadway Chorus (YABC) and Australian Youth Theatre (AYT). Fast forward to 2022, and she has just concluded her third year (give or take a few co-vid disruptions!) as a Triple Threat, and now works for the company as both a teacher and in administration. Her thirteen years at Stage School Australia have been a joy. The discipline she has developed through her training and the friendships she has formed will hold her in good stead for the rest of her life. Best decision our family has ever made!”

“I had a TMJ injections 4 days ago. I normally wake up everyday with headaches, neck and shoulder pain for a number of years due to teeth clenching and grinding. I tried physio, chiro and wear a mouth guard every night to manage the pain. I am so pleased that I woke up a few days in a row after the treatment without headaches. The injection has relaxed my jaw muscles. The treatment already made a difference to my day. Thank you Dr Koppert. Highly recommend clinic and doctor for TMJ management.”

“I wish that there was a school like this when I was growing up. I am grateful that my kid gets to experience Alia college.”

“it is amazing beacuse of jesse”

“My son has been going here for 4 years and the teachers have been really supportive.”

“Cali Masters first class back for 2022!”

“I've been to a few schools in my life, and heard about many others... but none can even come close to comparing with Swinburne. While there isn't as much of an obsession with academic achievement, you can still do really well here. You aren't limited in any way if you go here - there are signs on the bathrooms encouraging students to go into whichever fits their gender identity (and there's gender neutral ones near the office, but we're trying to get them to make a better one), it's completely free dress - no limits at all, other than the obvious stuff like... wearing shoes. Half the school has dyed hair, piercings, stick-and-poke tattoos, wear pins and badges, everyone looks so individual and unique. The community is judgement-free, bullying-free... there's no such thing as detentions - and there doesn't need to be - because no students feel the need to rebel. We address teachers by their first names, school on Wednesdays is optional, you can leave school grounds at recess and lunchtime to go to the park or buy food... there's so much of a focus on inclusivity, independence, individuality and prioritising mental health and accessibility. Very good for neurodivergent, LGBT+ or disabled students, or kids from disadvantaged backgrounds or even ones who have to couch-surf to stay afloat. Most of the school's student body identifies with some kind of 'alternative' subculture, and it's so visible. Teachers (except for some of the old ones with poor memory) always address students by their preferred names and pronouns, and absolutely listen to any problems you're having and take into account mental health struggles you're having. Couldn't recommend this school enough. Plus there's free breakfast offerred at the canteen if you get to school before the bell goes :)”

“After attending SEDA for 3 years, I can honestly say that the program has equipped me with the life skills and tools I need to reach my goals both personally and professionally. The teachers and staff are first class, while the learning environment your placed in as a student is catered to your individual needs. Would highly recommend the program.”

“I really enjoyed my time at Swinburne and felt like I got the support I needed throughout my young adult years. the campus is accessible for those who can't drive and has plenty of food options in the area. Only thing I'd say is I'm wondering how to get my degree/graduation stuff sorted out.”

“Bus service was superb. Drivers were nice and were happy to hear me thank them as I waddled off the bus. A large man like me is able to get on and off easily thankfully.”

“Great pool and instructors and Michelle was a breeze to deal with in booking in, questions, etc. Thanks again ;)”

“Great location. Very peaceful easy access to the city and beautiful parks. Lots of lovely restaurants close by and shopping.”

“Good uni”

“Dr Philip Thomas gave me a chance to have children. I had stage 4 endo and didn't even know. He had suspected I had endo with the small details of info I gave him. He knows his job and does it well. He cares. He really cares, not only about the task but the patient. You are a patient not a number or statistic. I only wish I could have him as my GP as well as specialist for everything. Dr Thomas is 1 in a million and I would not hesitate to recommend him. He himself, his team, and his co-workers are the most amazing people.”

“Great place for school or family camping”
