What activities, clubs and organizations would you recommend to newcomers to help them meet others?
Pick a sport, any sport and that is the best way to meet someone over here. If sport isn't your thing then try bushwalking, volunteer groups, join a gym, whatever, there really is quite a diverse range of groups you can join. (Continue)

A reader commented on the Expat Report Review of International School of Western Australia (ISWA) in Perth, Australia
Review-of-International School of Western Australia (ISWA)
How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
We have a gym, school fields, and playground. There are extra-curricular activities and clubs, and most families participate in community sports and activities as well. A lot of Australian sports are played within a club system and not a school system. For example, my sons play basketball, and the best basketball is played through the club system. Kids from every school come to participate. (Continue)

I have a child at the school and frankly I wish I hadn't and I wish I'd picked another school. The issues are that The school is not interested in involving parents The academic standards are of no interest to the governing body who only seem interested in the school as a business. The majority of parents are frustrated that they cannot get problems sorted as the head blocks any communication. The turnover of teachers is a worry and children are frequently left having to have study periods as no teacher is available to take their class. I could go on but I will conclude with one word AVOID.

Thank you for the report as we are thinking of moving to Perth coming from Bangkok I must admit that the choices of subjects are really limited at IWSA and I am concerned about my 2 girls Y7 and Y11. We are thinking of moving for next year. My older daughter will be doing her IB and she will have to change 2 of her main subjects.... As anyone been through this... Finally I can not get the IB past results until Monday which will be too late so can anyone help me. Kind regards Nathalie

The campus has plenty of room for expansion. There is no formal athletic program, but plenty of after school activities are organized by the school. (Continue)

The school facilities have great potential. It is a brand new school, but it has very experienced teachers from a wide range of backgrounds. Some are from Australia, America, Puerto Rico, New Zealand, and various other places. There are numerous activities available after school. There is a new schedule published every quarter with the activities available after school for that term. All of the teachers take a turn to supervise an activity.Although there are no team sports, choir, or band, there are many community programs available.

What activities, clubs and organizations would you recommend to newcomers to help them meet others?
If you have children it seems very easy to meet others through playgroups, kindergarten/school etc. If not, then joining a sports team/club is a good start. Also participating in outings etc that are arranged through other newcomers - I've found it easier to make friends with other newbies (foreigners or those from other parts of Australia) than long time Perth people.
