History
History
The school was founded to fulfill the growing demand for an Australian educational institution in Hong Kong. Brian Davies, a teacher at the Canadian International School who had lived in Hong Kong since 1986, was approached by members of the Australian Association of Hong Kong to create an Australian school. Additionally, local Hong Kong businessmen suggested to Davies to create a school to prepare their children for the possibility of studying in Australian universities upon graduation. The school opened on 6 February 1995 and in 1999 the first group Year 10 students were awarded their NSW School Certificate. In 1996 it began its secondary education levels. The school's permanent campus in Kowloon Tong was opened on 4 September 2001, with student numbers growing to over 500 students that year. Mina Dunstan is currently the Head of School since 2023. Peter Phillips is the current Head of Secondary, and Jane Thomas is the current Head of Primary.
Curriculum

The school offers education from Reception to Year 12. The primary curriculum is based on the Australian National Curriculum that has been adapted to suit the international setting. Students in Year 7-10 follow the NSW Stage 4 & 5 Syllabus developed by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority. In Years 11 and 12, students can select either the Higher School Certificate of the New South Wales Education Standards Authority or the IB Diploma Programme. Mandarin Chinese is taught as part of Chinese Studies to Primary students, as part of a language in Year 7–8, and as an elective in Year 8–12. As of an unspecified year, the IB diploma programme track has about 33% of senior level pupils.

School system
The school follows a southern hemisphere calendar where the school year starts in February and ends in mid-December. The school year is broken up into four terms, with breaks usually in April, July, October, and December. The school operates under a house system where each student is assigned to a House. The Houses compete against each other each year in competitions to win points. At the end of the school year, the House with the most points is awarded the House Cup. The Houses are named after Australian plants: Eucalypt (green), Jacaranda (blue), Waratah (red), and Wattle (yellow). As of 1996, the school uses Australian school holidays.
