OUR SAY: SCHOOL'S back and holidays are over.

USQ offers a wide range of courses and, of course, has the tremendous cost savings benefit that comes with students who choose to live at home and study here.
We want to keep our brightest and best up here, working with us towards Toowoomba's obviously bright future.

Those lessons must include more than writing, reading and arithmetic.
Equally important are lessons that show children the way to grow to become good, caring people.
