Welcome to the Autumn edition of Kids in the City magazine, Brisbane!
I love Easter.
It brings my favourite food of all time (hot cross buns) without the stress of Christmas and with all the joy.
No last-minute present buying.
No end-of-year exhaustion.
No elaborate meal planning.
And let’s be honest … who doesn’t love hiding chocolate around the house, then racing around in pyjamas the next morning, sharing the spoils with the kids?
I find the children enjoy it more. I enjoy it more. The day feels unhurried. There’s far less washing up.
And because I’m not drained by logistics, I can lean into the magic of it all — the floured bunny paw prints across the floor, the slightly chaotic handwritten letter from the Easter Bunny, the delight of creating something special overnight.
Autumn also marks the start of Open Day season for families and educators across southeast Queensland, making it the perfect time for our Education Special!
In this issue, we go behind the scenes at Hillcrest Christian College to discover how its future-focused Virtual Learning Community blends academic rigour, pastoral care and flexibility, offering families a structured alternative to traditional classrooms.
We chat with the team at Sanctuary Early Learning about why environment matters and how creating a genuine sense of belonging allows children to truly thrive in their early years.
We unpack why the right tutoring can change everything — not as a last resort, but as a powerful confidence-builder for students of all abilities, from those who need extra support to high achievers craving extension.
And we visit St Joseph’s Nudgee College to explore how an all-boys education grounded in faith and opportunity helps every boy discover his potential — in the classroom and beyond.
We also have a HUGE 2026 Open Day Directory for schools across Brisbane.
As autumn invites us outdoors, we also head to Wittacork Dairy Cottages to see how hands-on animal experiences nurture empathy and a deeper connection to nature.
