Meant to add...in order to drive safely in Mauritius my tips would be: 1. Take your time. 2. If (WHEN!) someone wants to overtake, just slow down and let them do it. It's not worth putting yourself and others in harms way when someone chooses ... Read More

Hi Justin, I think it can be a little tricky finding a teaching job as an expat here in Mauritius. I believe the school must first prove that the position is one that has been offered to Mauritians first. If the position is very specific and it ... Read More

Hi any Clavis parents by lne1
Hi guys, My kids have just started at Clavis. They seem to be enjoying it so far. Would like to know any other new or old parents who have children at Clavis and hopefully organise a gathering. What are your views as well about the school? Thanks
