Fame Dance Studio is located in the hall of the the St Martin's Parish Primary school in Greenacres…read moreand offers a wide open space which is great for dancing. I first came across this place while I was looking for a teacher to help me and my wife learn to waltz and come up with some basic choreography in preparation for our first dance during our wedding which was happening in less than a month! Yeah, I know. Very last minute, but oh well, we managed to pull off the first dance pretty ok with only 2 weeks of practice and I have to say it is due to the clear guidance of Mr James Stout who is the head instructor of this studio. I've been to quite a few dance teachers and James is the only one who has been able to break the concepts down for me in a way that I can understand and start to apply clearly. For example, I used to always have a problem with leading in dancing. I still do, but with James's instruction I was able to understand it well enough that I'm actually able to work on it and improve it. Also, unlike alot of dance instructors I've come across, James feels very down to earth with that neighbourly sort of feel, and doesn't use big technical terms to teach newbies which makes beginners like me feel more comfortable. That said, there is no question of his ability and I was spellbound by how effortlessly he executed moves and techniques which for me took a great deal of mental and sometimes physical strain. For me, the state of the instructor is a reflection of the studio they run, and from what I can observe from the instructor, this studio really knows how to teach, they know their stuff, they're pretty relaxed but know how to guide you to become a good and even great dancer if you so choose. I have nothing but praise for this studio, and if I ever decide to take up dancing seriously in future, this is where I'm heading.

SATAC is the intermediary body which processes applications for entrance into many of the tertiary…read moreinstitutions here in South Australia. If you want to go to University or Tafe in SA, it is likely you will need to apply through the Tertiary Admissions Centre's online processing, they then generate offers of places based on the number available. Most of the courses offered at The University of South Australia, University of Adelaide, Flinders University of South Australia, TAFE SA and Charles Darwin University require the applicant to submit through SATAC. If you don't possess the typical secondary qualifications for admission to a tertiary institution you may be required to sit a STAT (Special Tertiary Admissions Test) prior to making an application. SATAC conducts these tests to assess the relevant skills and knowledge of an applicant. The STAT results can then be used in place of a TER (tertiary entrance rank score) or equivalent.

Oooh, Tegan has all the official information! *tips hat*…read more My review is not so informational... I, like everyone else in SA, applied through SATAC to get into my uni course, and my own experience was pretty positive except for one major thing. Yes I have a gripe! While I found SATAC staff to be really lovely and professional and friendly, even in the midst of the busiest time ever, when every secondary student and adult student is applying for a course. They're friendly under pressure and helpful. Lines can get a but long in the lunch break time during admissions time, but otherwise the centre itself is quite central and a-ok. My gripe: the website. Like most government websites, it's a bit all over the shop. The info is probably there, but it's SUPER hard to find. There's no search button! Who doesn't have a search button? I was overseas when I was applying and needed to find info without being able to call in on the phone conveniently, and it was next to impossible, sadly. You definitely need someone in person/ over the phone to help you out here. Edit the website, add a SEARCH BUTTON, and you will be at least 1 star better, SATAC!

I went to Eynesbury for years 10, 11 and 12. When I went there they only had the second half of…read moreYear 10 but now you can go there from the start. The school is structured differently from all public and private schools, it is like a bridge between school and university. You are given a lot more freedom, but the academic level is still extremely high. How school works is you have two 2-hour classes for each subject. Your hours vary depending what subjects you do, but the day starts at 8am and finishes at 5pm. You refer to the teachers by their first name, which enables you to be on a more equal level with them, it is less like a dictatorship. They are very helpful and often in their office able to help you with any questions or problems. All the teachers say, if you do the work they ask, you will do well. This is very true, the lessons and homework they give is exactly what you need to do well in every subject. There are no extra curricular subjects available at Eynesbury. You can't play sport, however, there are so many clubs around Adelaide that if you do want to play a sport it is easy to do so. I loved the location of Eynesbury. It is just off Victoria Square and they now have a new campus off Gouger Street. You can sit in the Square on breaks and you are right near the markets. Think of the food you can get for lunch, no more over-priced un-tasty cafeteria food. The city also makes it very convenient to catch public transport to and from school.

I attended Eynesbury for year 12 back in 1999. At the time it was a senior college catering for…read moreyears 11 and 12, but as Samantha says it has now been extended to encorporate year 10 also. I found the level of education and support provided by the teaching staff excellent. It was a highly supportive and nurturing environment, particularly for academically strong students. The expectations and standards are high for students. The freedom of dress, calling teachers by their first name and flexibility afforded by free periods was an excellent preperation for university. I do, however think this style is more effective for final year students and those independantly motivated. I am glad I didn't go to Eynesbury in year 10 & 11, as I believe my rebellious streak would have flourished a little more freely than in the traditional school system. I also enjoyed PE in my younger schooling and it would have been detrimental to my health and wellbeing to opt out of it at an earlier age. As Sam said, the subjects offered were all core academic subjects and the majority of SACE subjects offered were PES.

My friend was a Student Teacher here for a term or two, and she came back with positive reviews. Great location and easily accessible by buses along Five Ash Drive along Goodwood Road.

I became interested in Little Picassos after receiving a greeting card from a friend that had been…read moremade by her daughter. Little Picassos on King William road at Hyde Park conduct art classes for children who either fancy themselves as budding artistes or who just want to express themselves creatively through art. Classes are held both during the year as per the school term calendar and during school holidays. The kids are divided into two age groups from two and half to five for the little ones and then there's the school age kids from four and a half to fifteen. Classes for the bigger kids are held after school hours and on weekend. The kids I've spoken to love the experience but I have to say their classes aren't cheap. You can even hold your child's next birthday party at Little Picassos for kids aged 3 and up. Parties go for 2 hours and you can organise catering or the Little Picassos guys can do it all for you. All the kids will go home with their own creation, made during the party.

I did my Diploma of Audio Engineering here. It's a fantastic place to do so. The tutors all have…read moreyears of experience in the industry. SAE still has a reel to reel analog studio to teach students "how it used to be done in the old days". But on top of this they have a full studio with a pro tools HD rig, ten rack units totalling 18 inputs (I think, from memory). Mic stands and microphones abound! They had a U87 when I was there, I'm pretty sure they still do as well! Apart from that they have a large collection of industry standard mics. 57s, beta 52s, rhodes and few cheapy Studio Pros (but they are perfectly good for what they're worth) If you're planning on studying audio engineering or music technology, give SAE a go. Definitely.

I found the staff and parents are friendly, helpful, sociable and interactive. My 3x attend an have not looked back. As I said previously always shop around and ask the questions you want to know, to fulfill your childs happiness.
