Welcome to Hong Kong! We moved just over a year ago so do get in touch if you have any other moving related questions.
In terms of where to live then Kowloon Tong is certainly the best bet in terms of proximity to the school. You will have a somewhat more 'local' experience living there than most expats who base themselves on the island and never leave it, which to my mind is a good thing!
You may feel a little bit hemmed in there, so if you wanted to be closer to the water then Huang Hom is a short distance from Kowloon Tong and has a good number of expats too and plenty of shopping etc on the doorstep.
Let us know what you decide and good luck with the move.

Depending on the salary package with which you're moving to Hong Kong, I would say the best place to live in close proximity to the Australian International School is Kowloon Tong. This residential area is not as overpopulated as some of the areas associated with Hong Kong Island, and it services mid to upper-class individuals. There's a lot of expats who make this space home, as there are plenty of international schools nearby.
There's also an MTR stop nearby, and Festival Walk, a mega mall with all the modern shopping options you'll need, is in the area.
Hell there, the school is located in KLT, if you are interested in learning another language in Hong Kong, ILC is a good choice, you can visit the website for more details. https://www.international-lan.com/en/home/
