Hi Australian Drupalers,
I'm representing Australian Learning & Teaching Council (www.altc.edu.au), looking to gain some contacts within universities, tafe, etc. using Drupal.
We're very interested to hear about your drupal case studies and any future ventures that may be happening in the education community.
Contact me here or direct contact.

some starters
http://apo.org.au <-- run out of Swinburne, managed by us.
http://www.insights.net.au/ <-- company out of Melbourne who do a lot of work with Melbourne University.
Victoria University http://www.vu.edu.au/ <-- they run this themselves, their team is at the city campus.
The APO site is real nice.
The APO site is real nice. The VU home pages seems broken on my Mac (tested in Firefox 3.5, Safari 4, Chrome and Opera 9.25)
btw, who did altc.edu.au
Hey Taz, that's a nice calendar view implementation. Who built this site?
Hey Simon, homegrown at ALTC,
Hey Simon, homegrown at ALTC, ALTC Exchange too.
Re all:
Adding two more Drupal sites to the mix that ALTC host with minimal dev involvement,
www.physiotherapy.edu.au and www.bioassess.edu.au
@Taz
If you guys have Drupal developer(s) onsite, ongoing, do you mind if I put your organization on the Drupal in Australia map? http://groups.drupal.org/australia/resources
If so feel free to send me the info (map location, summary, etc) via my contact form.
Cheers

Altc Calendar
Calendar design was my specialty ;) is nice hey ;) the analysis and design report for the www.altc.edu.au took aprox 3months the difference between what they had and what we replaced it with is huge (esp the calendar part that was needed to give user moral etc a boast real bad event schedule on old Jahia system) to get together a lot of planning sessions etc with internal staff as well as outside (academic) input... very proud of the analysis and HCI design of the site on of my favorites to work on (HCI wise)... it was very long and hard work... I came on board with ALTC to bring Drupal inhouse for them and also start an open source development team... Taz then took over for the day to day running of ALTC once the analysis and second implementation stage of the project had been completed...
Some from RMIT's EMG
We've been using Drupal for the last couple of years and have developed around 20 projects using it (see some links below).

Drupal in Higher Education Sector
Taz,
you need to contact some of the fellows etc and more grants people really, these people need to create sites etc to put there findings on for uni a lot of them have started using drupal as they where gearing up for the exchange project (well what exchange was going to be i.e the hosting of grants/fellows sites (great project for multiple site drupal) The initial work that i did on "What the Academic Community Wants from Exchange" i found the grants and fellows to provide the most drupal based answers as they have been using it, i can not remember her name but check into the "NT Batchelor Institute" they use Drupal quite a bit and ALTC has a fellow there.
Most universities use drupal for faculty based work and also i am finding some for external community PR sites (my current use at SCU). I am currently working on a Drupal site for Southern Cross University Women in IT external community website, it is running Drupal 6. Also recently completed a learning and teaching informative site for a professor using Drupal 6.
Also FYI, one of the main reasons historically Drupal was chosen for the exchange was the wide spread use throughout the higher education through Australia and over seas.
Also there are specific Drupal and Education groups these generally fall under the larger group of Open Education, can hook you up with some or you can just do a google search ;) let me know how you go
Batchelor Press Online Store

Drupal in Education conference stream
The Brisbane Drupal users group are organising a drupal conference http://groups.drupal.org/node/81469 for 2011 Jan 22-23rd. I want to see if we can get sufficient interest to have a "Drupal in Education" stream within the conference. At CEIT we are using drupal in a number of education research projects and we could do some presentations on these. If anyone else is likely to attend and could talk on Drupal in Education in their own context, I love to hear from you.

My Local Primary School is about to be Drupalised
I am doing so pro-bono for the local primary school council.
Upgrade from a Frontpage 2002 based site - shudder.
Only just started the requirements process - made them formulate a vision statement and strategy - so i can get the council to agree on some constraints before I do any work... (and decide if I can do it in D7 rather than D6)
I am finding the Primary School > Education Dept > Tech support discovery process.... entertaining.
I found them some existing free (well, bundled free) hosting through the Netspace eduStar ISP program. So that's a good start.
Interested to hear from anyone who's done a primary school site...
Ahh frontpage primary school
Ahh frontpage primary school websites. That was the 2nd website I ever did back in the day, 1st was notepad. Would have been around 2000 I think... we've come so far with web technology since!
Primary schools - like anyoneone - will want every feature that they can think of to reach their community.
In an ideal reality they need some services on the website like
Homepage
Subscribe to a newsletter (Submit their email address)
Upload a PDF of the newsletter (pending privacy statement below)
Dress codes, policies, simple listing of all the school dates, public holidays, carnivals/sporting events
News perhaps...
They're generally restricted in what they put up about students (names, photos, etc) so don't hope on any real content.
No more than 10 pages really.
Here's one we have done for a
