looking for schools for high schooler transfering in 11th grade

We are looking at a potential move to Sydney from Dubai. My 3 children are enrolled in an American school here.
My daughter will have 2 years of high school to finish, so I want to find a school with an IB program and an expat community. American International School seems too small (only 6 graduating seniors last year?), and I have looked at Redlands on line.
Can anyone please share their experiences with their High school aged children at these schools, or offer other school suggestions?
(I also have 8 and 12 yr old boys to place.)
I am confused about what grade children are placed in if they start school in July- if my high schooler has finished 10th grade, would she repeat 1/2 of 10th grade or only get 1/2 of 11th grade?
Also, what do graduating seniors do as far as beginning university in the US- wait six months?
many thanks!
