Please, can the person who wrote it share more?
Someone seems to have deleted something here. What have you got to hide?
In terms of recruiting teachers, are  quality teachers  hired at the school? The principal is more of a business man than education focused and looks at what is beneficial financially for the school (please speak to some current teachers, ex teachers and applicants). Thus local hire teachers or married couples can win over quality, qualified teachers from Australia that could prove to be more expensive. Is this normal? Perhaps many international schools operate in this way. However I don't think it's moral or ethical, nor are the educational needs of the students catered for in the best possible manner.
I think a school like this one needs teachers from Australia who are very  familiar with the NSW Board of Studies syllubuses, can teach the content, have the ability to create an environment in which learning can effectively  occur (classroom management) and have extensive experience in a wide range of schools (ideally including international schools). That a teacher may cost a school a lesser sum than another should not rate a mention. Nor should experience outside of schools rate more highly than experience within schools.
Is the school operated by a Board? Why is this kept secret on the website? Who is on it? I would think this is information that many stakeholders would want to know.
What kind of success have teachers had in schools in Australia and overseas? There is some information about the executive staffmembers on the website, which is useful,  but not for the rest of the teaching staff ( i.e. those teachers  most  in the "engine room" of the school, that is in the classroom).
Ex staffmemer Ms Wendy Lindeman (Deputy Principal at the school for 10 years and one of the founding staffmembers) will lead the new Australian International School in Saigon, Vietnam from 2007 as Principal. Not a bad choice I would think as she has teaching  experience both within Australia and overseas, including experiencing the growth of the Australian International School in Singapore since it  was a "baby". So she would know what to expect in Saigon, although Vietnam is not the same as Singapore. What do others think?
:The school is owned by a board of Singaporean businessmen. The school exists solely for profit. 218.186.9.1 08:25, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Well my source on the information about the board is a teacher at the school, so I think that they are a reliable source of information. And while this is just a rumor and may not have any basis in reality, apparently some students whose parents are teachers are given leniency and are not expelled as it would be too costly to hire another teacher to fill the position. 218.186.9.1 10:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
