That was so true Bath, when we were at school, there were just a few indigenous kids. I actually find that the kids catholic school is more multi cultural up here now than the public schools!! My children have a few nationalities there now, and a lot of Sudanese (sp?) that have been moved here are at the school. There lovely kids, and my 7 year old took some under his wing. It was just lovely. The school has taught the kids all about Sudan, and in such a small school, my kids have gotten to know them well.

I just find their school so caring, and each child truly is treated as an individual. Even their homework is personalised to their capabilities, not just handed out to whole class. My daughter gets very personal teaching for her troubles with reading, and this year, so she is prepared for years 5 & 6 before high school, her teacher is staying with her ( and two others) twice a week, for free tutoring after school hours. I never had anything even close to what my children are getting now when I was at a public school here.
