Very happy with the extra-curricular activities but wish there was more inter school sport competitions.

Extensive. There seems to be something on every week from Art Exhibitions, Holi, Christmas, Easter, Tomb Sweeping Festivals, Chinese New Year, Student Led Conferences, Earth day, UN week, book week, children's day ..... Plenty.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

Worth taking a tour of the facilities. Better than the competition.
