I am the mom of Ryan and he is in 6H so your boy should be his classmate. I just took the liberty of posting in your blog cos I saw the pic of the form teacher (Ms Jxxx). Hope you don't mind. Good luck to your son's posting. VS is a good school.

Anyway, happy school selection and good luck. We also went through a real tiring school hunting process. At the end of the day, better to let the kid decide which school they feel comfortable with.
