agreed .
AISS is not as good as what it says it is . . i used to go there actually and so did my younger brother an sister and they have just recentlybeen pulled out . . They are only interested in children with hgh acedemic grades. they really dont give a **** for people who are artistic / creativ. . . only text book thinkers and making heir school reputation higher. I am telling you and i will tell everyone that they dont care about your children or whats going on in th school so long as they jut keep bleeding you dry of your money . . the teachers are lazy and do not teach .. just read the textbook. So that goes to show they really have no interest in children and the childrens interests . .. so i wouldnt bother with that school .. il recomend you to one other school that i think has the best reputation and treats everyone with respect and gies good hances in life and got me to where i want to be .. and that is the overseas family school ...
well i hope it helped haha helped me rant about that crappy school anways
take care

that does not surprise me. There are loads of schools here that have Australian kids and teachers - are you looking at high school or Primary?
