Car and bus.
How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
The facilities are great at the school with many after school activities offered.
What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?
My child settled well quickly. The school is good for that and the other children there are very accepting.
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
There is a parent teacher organisation and they organize many fund raising and fun activities.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
Although the school has many positive things about it, it is expensive and I am not convinced parents get good value for money. The head of the whole school is often absent and I hear there have been unhappy teachers there. Not the most stable school in terms of a staff turnover. The school does not have any special needs support either. Some children there clearly need it and the school seem keen to take money but not deliver their promises.
