AISB Leadership Team

Henri Bemelmans

School Director

With 39 years in education, including significant experience in international schools in Indonesia as a Principal or Head of School, my background spans science, mathematics, and IT. I began my teaching career in schools in Melbourne and later pursued postgraduate studies in Information Systems, also working as a systems analyst/programmer.

I believe that student impact should guide all school leadership decisions, focusing on promoting wellbeing and creating a nurturing learning environment.

Sheridan Musto

Head of Early Years

As an Early Years Leader, I am deeply passionate about providing high-quality education and care for young children. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment, where children are encouraged to explore, create, use critical thinking, enhance their social-emotional and language skills, and become independent learners. I believe that strong partnerships with families are key to bridging home and school. Inclusivity and play-based learning drive our diverse environment, shaping a bright future for every child.

Head of Teaching and Learning

I’m an Australian educator with 24 years of experience, including 16 years in leadership roles with the NSW Department of Education. My roles have included Deputy Principal, Instructional Leader, and Senior Education Officer, where I led curriculum development across over twenty schools. I’m passionate about supporting teachers in delivering effective curriculum and assessments to help all learners thrive. I also value the foundational years of schooling highly. AISB's values of kindness, integrity, and respect closely align with my own.

Gareth Openshaw

Assistant Head of Primary

I am a British educator from Bolton in the United Kingdom. My teaching career began in 2009, and I have taught in British, Thai and International schools. My time at AISB began in 2018 as a classroom teacher in Year 1. Over the years, my role evolved, and now I have stepped out of the classroom into a full-time leadership role. In addition to being the Assistant Head of Primary, I am also the Head of STEAM, working with our STEAM teachers to provide a quality, well resourced STEAM program to our students.

Michael Bryce

For the last 16 years I have been a high school Principal in Sydney. Originally a Geography and Economics graduate I have held many different and quite varied positions within the Department of Education in NSW across western and southwestern areas of the city. My experiences in multicultural high schools will help me at AISB. I completed my Graduate honours degree at the University of NSW and my Master of Education at the university of Western Sydney.
