Hi Hobbsie...... I placed both my then Yr 9 and Yr 4 girl at AIS and whilst it's been ok for the older one it was a disaster for the younger one. I wound up placing her at Avondale (now Yr 6) and O.M.G the difference!! Sooooooo delighted there and I feel like I have a new poppet. Email me anytime if...

Hi peoples.... Just updating this thread as I met with both Avondale and AIS last Monday. We'll choose AIS (if they have us!!) but only because of facilities/options/etc. Kylie from AIS was magic (as was Lorraine from Avondale) but for my girls think AIS better. I freaked out a little when I asked h...

Thanks for updating this thread, been a ripper read. Our family of 5 (4 x two-legged types & 1 x spunky hound!) due to move end July. Our passports been stolen in Sydney so no acclimatization tour be doable so be looking at some condos you've recommended - ta loads. Hope your boxy box had settled in...

Mate if you work it out could you please let me know! Our car and all passports stolen so our planned allimatisation trip for mid-June now cancelled as just can't get there.

http://singapore.lmbhousing.com/ look ok. Perhaps a little studio one OK?? I know my husbands office is at Raffles Place so all I know when we rent a condo (arrive from Oz for 3 years end July 2014) I'll only look at places on the red or yellow MRT line as that's best.

I'm applying for both of mine to go to AIS (Yr 4 & Yr 9) but when they sent me the enrolment stuff boy oh boy they wanna know ABSOLUTELY everything!! A gf said that they ust slug an extra 20K if a shadow aide is needed - why does that not surprise me given their already exorbitant fees. Yikes! Out o...

Thanks Aster...... Yeah the hardcore "rote" style of learning at local schools just wouldn't work for youngest. Shame coz be a HELLUVA lot cheaper!!

Following! Fellow Syd gal legging it to Sing for 3 yr secondment with Yr 9 girl (AIS for sure for her) but in same quandry for Yr 4 girl..... leaning towards Avondale as smaller. Ugh, getting a migraine working all this out! LOL
