A little history … Lifestyle Learning Direct began life in Australia as The Writing School, which had originally begun in the UK and branched out into Australia, New Zealand and Singapore in 1984. Since this time, the reputation of the school had grown, due both to the large numbers of satisfied (and successful) students, plus the school’s commitment to providing further specialist writing courses to satisfy student demand. Eventually, the owners of the school, utilising their experience in the field of distance learning, decided to offer a wider variety of courses. The Sackville Academy was born to cater for these non-writing “lifestyle” courses and, under both banners – The Writing School and The Sackville Academy – the school was able to provide a wide range of products to suit the varied requirements of correspondence education. In late 2003, the school was purchased by an Australian-owned family business. The Morris International Group, based on Queensland’s Gold Coast, has been in business since 1973, and is a dynamic organisation with diverse interests including information technology, data processing, direct marketing, property investment, tourism, viticulture and wineries. Staff and management alike share a common goal of providing customers with exceptional service, and all staff work together to achieve the Morris International Group motto – “Showing the Way”. As the business continued to expand, both The Writing School and The Sackville Academy were brought under the umbrella name of Lifestyle Learning Direct in mid 2005. Lifestyle Learning Direct now offers a large range of courses over several delivery methods: • correspondence with full tuition • online courses with full online tuition • online courses – online assessment combined with correspondence tuition • online courses with full online assessment (no tuition) Why choose Lifestyle Learning Direct?
