Childside provides one of the fullest educational experiences for primary school students, and parents.
The school is extremely community minded with parents helping their children through the learning pathway and assisting with settling their children into the school day.
The kids enjoy helping make their own play lunches, and lunches at school and learn more than just the educational requirements. They learn how to interact in a community and with adults.
This school has not only enriched my children but also myself.
Their are a lot of fun activities that we as parents are encouraged to participate in not only during the school hours, but also as a community on weekends.
This school has exceeded my expectations on where my kids would be in their education pathway to life. I believe that my kids are now set up to achieve the most that they can as their ideas and experiences have flourished at this school.

We quite often enjoy a meal in town when shopping and the Dome has become a fortnightly event for us since they picked up their game.
We have found the service and quality have improved drastically over the last 4 months.
It is cafe style, with a fantastic view. The staff are always friendly.
We generally go outside of the lunch rush hour, which makes parking easier.

As a family, we have used Imaging the South for all the ultra sounds for our pregnancys, all blood tests, xrays, etc. They always provide a very professional service and listen to their patients. During the recent pregnancy, they had wonderful technicians that really where very thoughtful and caring. Nothing was to much to ensure my wifes comfort.

I see Dr Dorkham. The first time I went to see him 9 years ago was for a skin cancer. He was one of the best cancer surgeons in the south west of WA. I walked in and told him that I did not like his kind, he replied straight away that he did not like patients, but had to make a living. This set the mood and he now looks after myself and my family, including my in laws who have moved to this area. I like him because he does not give out information unless he has checked it first.

When we needed some down lights fitted, we called in the local first. We had to wait for the parts for 2 weeks, and then they where fitted. The job was done well, but we had to wait for call backs to arrange the time. The price was a little more than we expected, but that may just have been the freight from the eastern states for these particular downlights.

We had this father and son team come in and remove an old above ground leach drain system, and 20 tonne of other material. Very friendly, very professional. They look a bit rough around the edges, but they can operate their machinery with quite a considerable amout of finnesse. One of the best contractors I have ever had working for me. Their quote was not the cheapest, but they came highly recommended from friends. They where only $50 dearer than the cheapest, but $400 cheaper than the most expensive quote, who was arrogant. The job was done as I requested. They approached me with a couple of ideas, that I agreed with.

I have used this company many times over the years. From replacing a fridge door, to supplying parts that I have fitted. They are always very competitive with their pricing, and always helpful. I have sent my wife in for an electrical lead for inside a stove, and they made it with a 30 second wait, and only charged $2. They have completed warranty work for us at home, and always cleaned up after themselves, were pleasant, and did not mind the little ones hanging around to help pass tools.

Whilst looking after a friends house at Balingup, the hot water system stopped working. It was on bottled gas. I was referred to Balingup Plumbing and they responded same day. Peter came out with a second hand part, fitted it and we had hot water again straight away. He ordered the new replacement and fitted it within a week.

I have used Boddy Electrical for the 3 years I had a place in Mandurah. They are always prompt to an appointment, and generally come to the job with what is required to fix the problem with only 1 visit. They charge quite reasonably, and provided a very quick service, especially in this day and age that normally require large waits for a tradesperson. They have repaired lights, powerpoints, and rewired a shed for me. They have always come inside their quotes.

We where recommended to this service after a neighbour had been and she has walked up right and properly since. She has a degenerative spinal disease. I first went 2 months ago, and was treated with not only bone cracking, but also Bowen therapy. My problems that had been getting treated else where have now started to slowly disappear. Excellent work, but as normal we must ensure we give the technician all the relevant details for complete recovery.
