25.01.2022 Some of Melbournes highest-fee schools are appealing to former students and current parents to help pay the fees of students at risk of quitting the school because of the financial impact of COVID-19. Schools had frozen fees and offered flexible payment plans or even temporarily waived fees for families hit by sudden unemployment.

23.01.2022 From using TikTok and Snapchat to livestreams, Perth private schools teaching methods have forever changed due to the coronavirus pandemic and principals say it is for the better. For some, the online classroom during the lockdown expanded beyond just the school-based web technologies and intranet platforms, with teachers experimenting with social media to better engage students.

22.01.2022 Victorian families are preparing for another upheaval caused by coronavirus as students return to classroom teaching from May 26.

21.01.2022 Jessica March is in Year 12 at Seymour College and a Senior A Debater in this years SADA - South Australian Debating Association Schools Competition. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have had to participate in debating throughout my school years. Not only has it dramatically improved my communication and critical thinking skills, but engaging with complex topics has given me a deeper understanding of many issues facing our society. Additionally, coaching my own team of junior debaters has also been an incredibly rewarding experience. Edstart is proud to be a major sponsor of the Schools' Competition to support students improve their confidence, analytical skills, teamwork and public speaking through debating.

18.01.2022 Returning back to school has some students left uncertain as to how they should interact with fellow classmates and teachers amidst the ever changing social distancing rules. Here are some way to help your kids transition back to the classroom and the playground.

18.01.2022 The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is designed to be one criteria universities can use to select future students. But the ATAR occupies a fraught place in education debates, in part due to a question that often arises among year 10 students choosing HSC subjects: can you game the ATAR to receive the highest possible rank?

18.01.2022 Big shout out to all the referees at the junior rugby games over the weekend, including Will who looked after the Petersham Juniors Rugby Club game, as well as ...Brody and Jack who both made their refereeing debuts at the Mosman Junior Rugby Club games.

14.01.2022 When the Victorian students return to school on Tuesday, theyll have more than socially distant seating arrangements and bans on big groups at lunchtime to remind them these are not normal times. Frank Bevacqua, a year 11 student at Ivanhoe Grammar, said excited messages were bouncing around between him and his friends when the news broke that they would soon return - Im excited to go back, he says.

10.01.2022 William Canestro from Hunters Hill Junior Rugby Union on receiving the Edstart Junior Rugby Scholarship and his goal of going on to play for Sydney University Football Club.

10.01.2022 It’s a sobering thought when so many people are suffering from financial hardship and have lost their jobs because of the COVID-19 pandemic that it now costs more than $1100 a week for a couple to raise two children. Housing remains the largest single expense, at more than $450 per week. Other costs tracked include clothing, food, transport, health, personal care, recreation, education and household goods.

10.01.2022 As we start to spend more time at home with the kids over the coming weeks, a great way to keep them entertained and help reduce screen time is to listen to podcasts. Here are some engaging ones we think your kids will enjoy: https://bit.ly/33sOO5m

08.01.2022 Elite private schools are warning that school fee discounts and rebates introduced to help parents suffering income losses because of COVID-19 cannot be extended into 2021. The schools say the viability and sustainability of their teaching will be jeopardised unless full fees are restored and, in many cases, increased to meet rising salary costs and offset the loss of revenue from foreign students not allowed to enter the country because of the pandemic.

08.01.2022 In Adelaide, several schools now offer scholarships general and academic for children in Years 3, 4 and 5, with applications closing up to two years prior to kids entering this class. Jack Stevens, the CEO of Edstart, a lender that specialises in helping families pay school fees, says the expansion of scholarships into more junior years is not surprising. He said scholarship options were appealing for parents wavering on whether to send their child to a private school in the primary years, or holding off until secondary school.

07.01.2022 Justin Qin, a Year 8 student at a Sydney high school, shares his thoughts and experience of heading back to school: "After many long weeks of home learning due to coronavirus, I have loved being back in the classroom. I have come to understand how important it is to see friends and teachers face-to-face, but many of us have also been left with feelings of uncertainty over how safe it is to interact."

07.01.2022 Teachers who have been testing online classrooms say the coronavirus has changed the nature of their jobs "forever" as global collaboration and education file sharing takes off.
