Moving school from the southern hemisphere to Abu Dhabi
Hi!
We are probably moving from Sydney to Abu Dhabi in January 2013. While we are looking forward to it there seems to be an issue with schools. Our daughter will have finished year 2 by the end of the year. I have contacted Raha International school (random choice - no idea if it a good school... ) and was advised that the government does not allow kids to jump up half a year. So she has to start year 2 again which means she will be a year older than everyone else (grade 2 is 7+ / she will be almost 8,5 years). Also when we go back she will be a school year below all her friends and more than a year older than everyone else as she was born just after the cut off date.
Does anyone have experience with moving kids from the Australian system to Abu Dhabi?
Also any advice on schools would be great!! So hard to choose a school from overseas.I am reading horror stories of long waiting lists which should be a huge problem trying to move in the middle of the school year I guess...
Apparently the Australian International School does not have any vacancy for grade 2 according to their website. I have tried to contact them via email but all emails have bounced back so far.
Thanks so much!!
