Could you read the word “intravenous” when you were in grade 3? Did you know the superlative suffix for “pretty”?
It’s Wednesday morning at Chelsea Primary, a state school in Melbourne’s south-eastern sandbelt, and these questions are being put at rapid pace to a composite class of grades 3 and 4 students.

The children sit in rows, engaged in a half-hour game of call and response with their teacher that is part reading exercise, part endurance test.
Words are broken down into root components – “rupt”, for example – then made whole by adding prefixes and suffixes: “erupt, interrupt, corrupt, rupture”. The students chant together as the teacher points at each word on a white screen.

Biggest MBA in Australia for Domestic and International Students


March 9, 2021
Surging demand for Holmes Institute’s MBA program from international students has cemented its place as Australia’s biggest course by total enrolments.
New figures compiled by the Commonwealth Department of Education provided a snapshot of enrolment trends in Australian institutions in 2019, before the immense disruption caused by COVID-19 in 2020.
The data showed the number of overseas and domestic students enrolled in Australian MBA programs in 2019 and 2018.
Holmes Institute’s MBA program hit 4809 in 2019 with domestic students accounting for less than five enrolments. It’s a one-year, $28,200 MBA.
The result is a 48% lift on Holmes’ 2018 figure of 3233 total enrolments.
