Meeting schools face to face helps you move beyond glossy brochures and websites to really understand whether a campus, culture and staff are the right fit for your child.

Why in‑person matters
Visiting a school lets you see real classrooms, student interactions and facilities, which is impossible to fully judge from photos or virtual tours. You can sense the atmosphere: Are students engaged? Do teachers seem warm and approachable? Does the campus feel safe and welcoming for your child?

Questions to explore on a visit
Use school tours and exhibitions to ask about academics, boarding, pastoral care and co‑curricular programs such as music, sport and the arts. Talking directly with current students and parents gives you unfiltered insight into homework load, teacher support, friendships and how the school handles issues like homesickness or transition.

Meeting representatives in Hong Kong
Events like the AEAS Australian Schools Exhibition in Hong Kong allow you to meet senior admissions staff from multiple Australian schools in one afternoon, discuss entry requirements, fees and boarding, and compare options side by side. You can quickly tell which schools align with your child’s personality and your family’s values before committing to applications or overseas study.

AEAS is running an in-person Australian Schools Exhibition on Sunday 15 March. The following schools will be present.

Canberra Grammar School
Kambala
Masada College
Oakleigh Grammar
MLC
PLC Sydney
Caulfield Grammar School
Siena College
Ballarat Grammar
Toowoomba Grammar
Launceston Grammar
St Leonards School

How SEA supports families
As an official AEAS partner agent, SEA can help you prepare for exhibitions, shortlist suitable schools and ask the right questions on the day. After you meet school representatives, SEA can assist with applications, OSHC and student visa support so you can move from “school visit” to “secured place” with confidence.
