AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIO­NAL SCHOOL HONG KONG

A FAMILY’S PERSPECTIV­E

The Hardings from Australia are a long-term AISHK family.

We moved to Hong Kong from Sydney nine years ago, and our three children all started at AISHK. After six years at the school, our two sons went back to Australia to go to boarding school. However, with the COVID-19 situation, we found that boarding didn’t work so well for our family. Online learning creates a separation between children and their friends; the social interactio­n that the classroom and playground environmen­t provides is so important, so it was a struggle for our boys to be deprived of this for so long. We were fortunate enough to be able to re-enrol them at AISHK.

Our family’s time at AISHK has been all-embracing. The school is able to engage students in anything they may wish to pursue; our eldest was able to go on debating trips, our middle child played rugby, and our youngest played netball and took up art.

What sets AISHK apart is that it is truly an internatio­nal school; giving its students an internatio­nal experience while still maintainin­g a sense of Australian­ness. This strong connection to Australia is what made the school the clearest option for our children’s education.
