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

School is an IB World School and uses ManageBac to assist transition between schools. Our child's teacher has been very supportive and my daughter loves to going to school each day.

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.
