Welcome Guide for New Families
Put together by current parents, this welcome guide answers questions most frequently asked by new families as they are settling in - lunches, PE kits, clubs, buses, sports seasons, instrument tuitions, who is who, etc

If you haven't already done so, please join our 'Onboarding Support Group' for new families, where you will have our Weclome team and some more long-time parents available to answer any questions. The team will be able to help you connect with other parents from your grade or country groups as well as help you with any queries about your first few days at school, or as you settle into your new local environment.

BUDDy families
Existing school families can sign up to be a buddy for new incoming families - help answer their questions 1-1, make them feel welcome and help them through their first few days and weeks as they settle in.
A great way to make friends, and new families are always grateful for this invaluable support.
​
​
If you are a new family looking for a buddy, please fill in the following form to request one. This program works best if your start date is still a good few weeks away, or when you are looking for help in the summer before a new school year begins. With a start date within two weeks or less, during the school year, we find that most families find it useful to be connected with their entire grade & country group/s.
