Michi and Tad, Australian
Aimee (8) and Sofia (4)
Both Aimee and Sofia are currently at Avondale Grammar School. Aimee
enrolled in 2012 and is now in Year 3, while her sister Sofia has been attending
preschool classes since January 2014.
We particularly wished for our girls to have an Australian curriculum-based
education, so Avondale was a great choice as it combines both the UK and
Australian systems into its preschool curriculum. The school is also perfect in
size – not too big and overwhelming as some of the other international schools
– and conveniently located near Orchard.
We are very proud of our girls’ progress at Avondale. We love how the classes
are small in size and are constantly filled with exciting activities. Sofia is learning
so much – her literacy and numeracy skills have improved tremendously. Every
day, she loves telling us about the ‘sound of the day’ and we are impressed
with how much knowledge she has acquired from her classes. She also enjoys
the daily Language Other Than English (LOTE) lessons where she learns the
words for new objects and numbers in French.
We like Avondale’s approach in encouraging parents’ involvement. Not only
do we receive daily updates from Sofia’s teacher and weekly newsletters from
the school, there are also useful workshops organised for us to understand
our kids’ learning at home.
We’re very happy with Avondale and would recommend it to anyone who
likes having a close school community. The school has a great ethos and their
academic focus, while strong, does not miss out on fun. Our girls are growing
to be confident and independent children thanks to Avondale Grammar School.
