As Early Childhood (EC) Liaisons we hope to make you feel welcome and we are responsible for clear communication between EC parents, the PSO and EC Administration. In doing this, we work very closely with the Home Room Coordinators in each EC class.
We are looking forward to meeting you all and feel free to approach either of us whenever you have questions or concerns.
The Lower School (LS) Liaisons work with the Homeroom Coordinators in grades 1 through 4. We are responsible for ensuring smooth communication between the LS parents, the PSO, and the LS administration.
Throughout the year we will ask you for feedback regarding your experience with LS and for any questions or concerns you would like to have addressed. You are always welcome to bring any concerns to us as they arise. We look forward to meeting the new families and reconnecting with the returning families for another great year.
The Middle School (MS) Liaisons work as a team to represent each grades 5 through 8. We work to improve communication between MS parents, PSO and MS administration. We work with the MS student council to host several fun evenings for the kids and will be asking for feedback or questions for the MS Administration in our quarterly feedback.
We are here to help so please do not hesitate to contact us should you ever have any questions or concerns. We look forward to meeting you and to having a wonderful year in middle school!
Kimber lives in Thames Ditton with her husband James, and their three children, Victoria (7th Grade), Charlie (grade 6), and Jack (grade 4) and their two dogs, Yoyo and Murphy, their cat Foxy and a horse on the way! This is the Fox Family's fifth year at ACS.
Our role is to act as facilitators of communication between the High School (HS) administration, the HS Academic & College Counseling Department and the parents of your grade level. We are the parents’ link to the PSO board; and we also support the Head of Year’s, the Advisors, and the HS student council as needed.
Among others, this is achieved by co-arranging formal HS Information Meetings by grades, organising informal information sessions, coffees/lunches, by keeping parents informed by email, and by regularly meeting/communicating with the Principal, Chris Walker, Assistant Principal Bo Wood, the Academic Deans and the College Counselors etc., and the student council throughout the year.
I’m Eugenia Calvo Paz, we moved to the UK 9 years ago, we’re originally from Argentina but lived in many countries before, my husband Gustavo and me, decided to settle here with our 4
children. The only son currently in school is our youngest, Tomas in 9th grade. The older 3 already graduated from ACS. Juan and Lucas finished University and Santiago is finishing this coming
year. The school is very special for us, after living as expats and moving from place to place, our children found long lasting friendships here. We’re very proud to be part of this community.
My name is Andrea Hunt and I have four boys at ACS Cobham. Willem in grade 12, Tomas in grade 9, Anton in grade 7 and Xander in grade 4. This is our eighth year at ACS. My husband is British and I am German and we have been living in the UK for over 20 years, except for three years in the US. I grew up in Copenhagen and went to an international school myself and did the IB. This is my second stint on the PSO and I am excited to get involved again.
I have one boy at ACS Cobham - Alex in grade 10. This will be our fifth year at ACS, but we have been living in the UK for almost 20 years. My husband, Sebastien, is French, and I am American. I’ve been on the PSO for several years, serving as secretary before, and really enjoy being part of the school community. I’m looking forward to working with you all this year.
We are originally from the US, but have spent 11 of the past 18 years living in the UK, and I have also lived and worked in France. We have three children at ACS Cobham – sons Owen in grade 10 and Brennan in grade 8 and daughter Amelia in grade 5. Our children all started their education in the English schools, but as they got older, we recognized the importance of the international education that ACS Cobham can offer, as they are truly growing up to be citizens of the world. I am looking forward to working with everyone this year!
My name is Karima Decker. I have two boys, Luca is in grade 11 and Felix in grade 9.
We have been at ACS for 6 years now and we have been living in the UK for 8 years, first in the Kingston area and now in Cobham.
We are a German family, but we love the international community at ACS.
I hope I can contribute to the good communication between parents and school.
We are a Dutch family that moved to the UK 4 years ago. My son, Friso, is in grade 12. My daughter is at the University of Bristol. We have been living abroad for the past 14 years and enjoyed it to the max. We love the international community at ACS. A lot of things are going on at school and it is important that we keep a good relation and communication between the parents and the school. I am hoping to contribute as well in the upcoming two years. We are all doing this for the best of our kids! Wishing you all a great summer and of course a happy and successful year ahead!
