Benjamin (3.5)
Our son Benjamin is in the Early Childhood Education (ECE)
programme at CIS, and we couldn’t be happier. We love that both
students and parents are always made to feel welcome and that
Benjamin is part of a wider school community. For example, he
attends school concerts and plays, and has two senior students
helping in his class once a week.
We learnt of CIS after asking a friend for recommendations,
and chose it primarily because Benjamin was so happy there
during the school tour; he took himself into an ECE class and
joined the class activity! We were impressed by the facilities and
the school’s approach to teaching the curriculum, and also loved
that the ECE class sizes are limited to 16 students.
A highlight of the school has been the Uniting Nations’ week,
when Benjamin learnt more about the cultures of his classmates.
The week finished with a ‘Parade of Nations’; it was amazing to
see the diversity of cultures represented at CIS!
Benjamin’s teacher is passionate about her work, and this
is reflected in the creative ways she teaches the class. I love
dropping him off in the morning and seeing the room set up for
the day’s activities.
The Lakeside Campus is only 2.5 years old and has fabulous
facilities such as a huge junior library, a purpose-built gymnasium,
a playground, an art class and a drama suite for the junior school.
Benjamin’s favourite place is the outside playground, especially
the bikes and the climbing frame. He loves his music class,
painting and playing with his friends.
As parents, we feel we made the right decision in sending
Benjamin to CIS as he is now well adjusted to all aspects of school
life, including having a variety of teachers working with his class,
walking around a larger school between classes, and not being
fazed by walking past large groups of ‘big kids’.
