Ad hominem attacks are usually taken when facts to support the attacker's position are not available. 'I don't like what that person is saying, so they must be either crazy or a liar.' I will provide some facts and you may interpret them as you wish.
The following information was provided to Search By Branksome Hall Asia: "How do you view hiring married teaching couples with dependant(s) - Makes No Difference." "How do you view hiring single teachers with dependent(s) - Makes No Difference." The presentation at Bangkok stated that they were not hiring candidates with dependents. The presentation also stated that due to legal requirements of the agreement with the school and South Korea they could only hire candidates with Canadian passports since they are a Canadian school.
The school is not yet open. The information provided to Search states: "Approximate End of the School Year - 6/30/2012, Approximate Reporting Date for New Teachers - 8/30/2011, Approximate Reporting Date for Returning Teachers - 8/30/2011." These dates obviously do not apply to Branksome Hall Asia, but why place bogus information about your school? Enrollment numbers are identified as may be approximate, which is very straightforward. The estimates of K-5, 400; 6-8, 400; 9-12, 400, Total=1200, appear to be reasonable guesses. The estimate of total staff is 140, which also seems reasonable. However, in December Branksome Hall Asia only had 31 positions listed on Search. This appears to be a large difference for a school which is opening in 8 months. Are they estimating a total of about 300 students to begin the school year 2012-13?
During the presentation questions were asked about the school facility. The response was that the pods were not complete and that the school may open in September or possibly January. There is no information on Search about the school opening possibly being delayed.
One obervation, if a recruit provided information to Search, or during an interview, with as many discrepancies as this school provided during their presentation, that recruit would be banned from future fairs.
I would be interested in PsyGuy's observations since he was at the Sidney fair and Branksome was supposed to be there also.
Finally, I like the vision and concept of Branksome Hall Asia. I think it has fantastic potential. However, this part of the process seems to have been handled poorly.

More info on Branksome Hall. Peter Kenny has modified his Linkedin info to the following, "Current CEO and Director of Branksome Hall Asia at Reach Education Organization, Past Managing Director Branksome Hall Asia at Branksome hall, Director, Global Projects at Education Advisory Services, Head of College at Renaissance College Hong Kong... " Previously the Current info did not state "of Branksome Hall Asia." Branksome Hall was at Search Bangkok but was very disappointing. They opened their presentation by stating they were only interested in candidates that had Canadian experience. About 2/3 of the audience got up and left. It seems this important piece of information would have been made available before the conference so that so many people would not have wasted their time.

If the Canadian IB school you are talking about is Branksome Hall Asia, then just a heads-up. I am interested also and the school looks like a great opportunity. Their website mentions Peter Kenny as the Managing Director. He seems to have good track record in that he appears to have opended Renaissance College in Hong Kong. By chance I was checking out a Linkedin account on someone else and his name appeared. I checked his account and it clearly shows he is currently the CEO of REO, and the past Managing Director of Branksome Hall Asia. If someone of his stature and reputation has walked away from the absolutely huge job of opening a new school, with the investment that has already been made, then the situation needs to be closely watched. It is unclear what BHA will do next. TG
