Dear Mr O’Sullivan, As a parent of an academically struggling child, it has always been a worry since my son, (Name supplied) started his educational journey at another international school. His lack of enthusiasm for learning caused us much emotional stress for our child, but this year we have seen a totally different zeal and passion for learning. Yesterday my son came home jubilant that he scored 20/20 in his maths test and with much praise for his teacher Mr Pari. We were lost for words at home. He acknowledged the confidence his teacher has in him and the patience and encouragement he has not just for my son but all students in his class. (Students own words) he said, “Mr Pari is strict but nice. He makes learning fun and enjoyable”. On behalf of my family, I would like to take this opportunity to say ‘Thank you’ to Mr Pari for making a difference in our child’s learning. He looks forward to school every day which intrigues us. Kind regards. PM (full name supplied)

Dear Mr O'Sullivan,
Greetings from Townsville, North Queensland, Australia.
This email serves to give an update of how Wavuri (grade 6) and Lalausere (grade 1) have settled in and of their performance in the Queensland state schools here in Townsville.
Wavuri and Lalausere have shone in the Kelso State school in the first two weeks of enrollment being awarded the 'golden kooka' and the role model awards which are equivalent to the principals awards and continue to impress with their high level and standard of education and values instilled in them carried over from Koroboro. They continue to get weekly 'kooka thumbs up' class awards in meeting expectations and standards of the curriculum and values of the schools here (find attached photos).
Wavuri (in grade 6) upon interview and assessment was assessed to be a grade up (to grade 7) but since we moved in the later part of the year we decided to keep her in grade 6.
Thank you Mr O' and your KBIS staff for your support and assistance in the girls smooth transition over to the Australian schools and in the high standard of education and currriculum that you continue to offer and provide for the children through the IEA schools.
God bless and have a joyous safe festive season of rest.
Best and warm regards,
Dr Mano Mao - parent of Wauri and Lalausere

Subject: Re: Sleep Over
Dear KoroBoro team,
We just wanted to write an email to thank you for the Grade 2 sleepover this year.
When we first asked Makena about it, she was reluctant to join and although we tried to persuade her she was an adamant no.
But when Mr O sent out an email asking parents to reconsider (great idea by the way!), we brought it up with Makena again and mentioned some of the things Mr O wrote about and she said yes! I'm really glad that Mr O gave the students a second chance to reconsider.
As parents we are really impressed by the level of organisation that had gone into this event. Everything was considered and we felt very assured about our daughters safety and what attending this event would give our daughter. She came away really confident and said she wanted to repeat grade 1 just so she could do the event again :)
Her favourite part was the games and setting up the tent.
In terms of organisation, in the lead up to the event the teachers and EAs rehearsed setting up tents and discussed what would happen at the sleepover. This helped Makena feel prepared and was a really good lead up to the event.
She came home everyday to tell us what was happening and brought up any queries she had about the event.
On the actual day, from the moment we arrived at the Koro campus. The carpark guards did a great job of directing people in and out of the carpark, the EAs welcomed Makena and gave me instructions about pick up and i could see all the friendly familiar faces from the school getting everyone organised.
I really liked the fact that Mr O cooked breakfast the next morning - as always he is such a phenomenal presence at all the Koroboro events.
Well done Koroboro team on putting on yet another fantastic event. As parents we are so proud to be sending Makena to Koroboro school!
Best wishes,
Nicholas & Zulfaa Tsoupis
KBIS DOING IT RIGHT.
Dear Mr O,
Thank you for a wonderful 2024 and first year at Koro Campus for our daughter.
She started the year with some hesitation after moving over from Boro campus. But her teacher Ms. Balik, specialist teachers and her classmates have been amazing leaders and supporters throughout the year and (name supplied) has really enjoyed just everything about KoroBoro.
Some highlights for her were - bike riding in PE, tennis for ECA, learning PowerPoint in ICT, everything with Dance and Music, her friends, SLC, being selected to perform at the EYE performance and class excursions and especially her teacher Ms. Balik (who is her favourite)
As parents we were so impressed with the EYE performance. such an incredible production put together by the staff. Everything ran really well, the acts were entertaining and it was very well thought out and professional.
The bus service has been efficient on bus #11. she had a few changes of drivers - but still it ran smoothly with great communication from previous to current to temporary drivers. And we were very happy to see an upgrade in her bus this year. Thank you!
Independence Day is always a highlight for us and KoroBoro again put on a wonderful celebration.
There are many things we are thankful for that KoroBoro has given to our daughter and we feel so fortunate that she is part of the KoroBoro family.
So thank you Mr. O and your team for having such a positive and meaningful impact on our daughter's life.
Have a very Merry Christmas and New Years and we look forwards to another fabulous year ahead.
All the best,

Subject: KoroBoro Auction Painting Sold
Good morning Mr O, trust you are very well.
First, as per the subject, we, wish to advise you that our son has paid for the painting yesterday at the finance office. When the auction bid was going on he turned to me and said, “mum I’m raising my hand to bid for the painting, I love it. And he won the bid. We’re happy for him and grateful that this is his way of showing appreciation back to KBIS- and it sure is the best school ever.
While his sister in Grade 6 has been emotional this week wearing the KBIS uniform for the last time. There are mixed emotions in our home.
As parents, we’ve seen growth and improvement in their behaviour academically and socially. Setting goals and receiving 2 Principal’s Awards each this year gives us a great feeling of accomplishment. We are grateful also for their teachers for their dedication, commitment and patience in the classroom and on the field.
KBIS is for sure a great school.
Thank you Thank you Thank you,

Dear Ms. Gabi, Ms. Ilagi and Ms. Takekel,
As this year draws to a close, we, (Parent Names Supplied), would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the incredible work you have done in shaping the minds and nurturing the hearts of our children. Your dedication, patience, and commitment have been a profound blessing to our family.
This year has been particularly challenging for us as a family, with my absence due to ongoing studies abroad. Despite this, our children have continued to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially is a testament to the powerful and hard-working teachers like you who have stood in the gab, ensuring that their growth and performance were not hindered.
We firmly believe that your role in their lives is a manifestation of God's perfect plan. As the bible reminds us: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6). Your commitment to teaching and mentoring our children has embodied this scripture, equipping our children with both knowledge and values that will shape their future.
This year, we have seen God's abundant blessings through their academic achievements and personal growth. As our children received Principal's awards, demonstrated leadership, and completed their grades with tremendous results, we see not only their hard work but also your dedication and guidance as their teachers. Your efforts echo the wisdom in James 3:17, which says: "But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; the peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." Your role as educators radiates this godly wisdom and goodness.
As you continue in your noble profession, may the words of Galatians 6:9 encourage you: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Thank you for being a reflection of God's love and for inspiring our children to strive for excellence. We pray for His blessings and strength over your lives and family as you prepare to lead and inspire the next group of students.
With heartfelt of gratitude,
(Parent Names Supplied)

Hi Mr. Jerome, Mr. O and Ms. Taune
I trust you are well and that the 2025 school year has gotten off to a good start.
We are sending you this short note to let you know that our daughter is into her 4th 😊 week of schooling at POMIS and is settling in well. It helps that she has 3 older siblings in her new school too.
Once again, thank you to you all at KoroBoro for all the work put in to preparing our children for the transition to high school. We are happy and pleased that she is happy, independent, confident and excited about school, sports and the new experiences and opportunities in her new school.
The many programs the KoroBoro school exposed them to be part of, greatly contributed to her confidence and ability to be independent and that we really appreciate. We also appreciate that pathways were provided for her to enhance her skills and abilities in areas that she enjoyed and did well in such as sports and public speaking.
Thank you, Mr. Jerome for the time you personally took, to always make time for us to speak to us and update us when we came by the school or met you at other school organised programs, even emailing us and going out of your way to ensure we had the support required. It made a big difference. You were a standout teacher.
From our family to the school, we wish the KoroBoro family a successful 2025 schooling year.
Although we no longer have kids enrolled at KoroBoro, we have fond memories of our children’s time there and are truly grateful for the experience we have had being part of KoroBoro and will always be cheering from the sidelines 😊 for the school’s continued success.
Kind regards,
