i would like him in a pure and nature but also good academic boarding school

Not a must with many Chinese
No boys school

Please help if any recommendations for your child is happy to study at.

I think it’s good but is not top
The life there is simple
Classmates are friendly
Teachers are friendly
Have not heard bully case there

Westminster school in Adelaide will suit your boy. it's boarding house is spacious. Although the rules Yr 11 on wards  can live in  single rooms but most  boys are  having single rooms because of covid.

My nephew is studying Yr 10 at Westminster. He just stays with us for term breaks because he is a boarding student. He has adapted well to the English speaking environment well although he studied in Pui Ching before he started yr9 at Westminster. He did the AEAS exam in hk and asked me to contact the school for him and was accepted.

I could ask his school coordinator to forward you the application form.

BTW, You can enroll your kid with an English Language Centre first and then transfer to Any local Private school eg. Westminster or St Peters.... I am helping my friends kids to come early use my friends homestay  service because she looks after a number of private school accommodation arrangements. hk agents usually ask for 1 term advanced payment for homestay on top of application fees A$4500 which is totally avoidable if you have friends or relatives living here to organise the accommodation directly with the school's office

不好意思，較少上本來，我仔仍在讀，Covid 沒什麼特別安排，
如校內有人確認診，
會有信通知家長，
學校會叮囑學生遵守防疫措施，
有健康站幫學生檢測。

冇乜人戴口罩

你間 agent 可能麻麻地，要搵錢唔出奇。
我仔間學校有自己 grammer school ，本來話要上4星期先正式返學，但最後都無上，佢地內部或者唔記得。
學校高中可以選 IB 或本地課程，或者你搵多間 Agent 比較吓。
