Hi Twinboys08, long time no chat. My girls go to PG in HH campus since Sept 09. They love it there. They talk about their teachers and sing their songs all the time. We only applied Jan09 so we were very lucky we didn't have to wait for very long.

So you plan to put your boys in Victoria PG until they go to nursery school in Aug/ Sept?
I haven't received letter from Victoria about PN interview result so very anxious. Regardless, we'll probably keep them there until June. :)

We are on the same boat again.
My son (26mths) will attend the Age 2-3 Playgroup in Victoria (Upper Kornhill) on 1st Apr (Tue & Thur, 10.30am – 12.30pm).
I will take AM off and attend the class with him this Thur.

My daughter has been attending playgroup at Middle Kornhill since May 2009 (14 months). As far as I know, PG in upper kornhill is new class. When I applied and attended with my daughter, middle Kornhill is the only choice. However, you are talking about playgroup for 2-3 yrs old? Why don't you attend their PN then?

hi, 薯仔1607,
mid kornhill playgroup had been opening long time ago,
my elder daughter went to the mid kornhill playgroup in year 2007,
it offered only Can/Eng by that time.
now is my younger daughter's time
going mid kornhill playgroup,
same as elder sis, the playgroup is in Can/Eng

熊貓BB, I didn't apply PN for my boys was because...I was a bit upset about they had no update to me on their playgroup waitlist status since I applied a year and half ago. Now my boys got admitted to Lingnan, will try to apply their K1 next year then ~

My daughter started attending upper kornhill pg since Mar 2010. Our group occupied the whole campus in March (no other group there). They said they will open new pg for age 2-3.
No wonder why they arrange a Victoria Park outing for us tomorrow (Thurs), because they want to let the new group (2-3 years old) explore around the whole campus!
Upper kornhill campus is newly renovated but the location is really not quite convenient. Linda, you are so lucky to have place in mid kornhill cause it is more convenient ar!

My son attend HMT pg, I am glad to hear that if attend pg will not get any adv. for admit to school, that mean he deserved for the offer.
Honestly compare to KM interview, I think he performed much better, but he didnt got any offer. But he was acceptted by Vic. and also 3 of his classmate in PG also got offer.
I dunno will it be any adv. for pg student.
Anyway, I think Vic pg is very good for the little one cos he really learns a lot and enjoy the class.

Hi Twinboys08,
Nice to see you on Thur. Guess we have the same conclusion for the 1st day of Victoria Playgroup is too many free play time, the new NET is not well-prepared. Hope they will work hard to improve that situation. My son was sick (got fever suddenly) yesterday. Just wonder their campus is clean enough or not? How's your twin? Are they OK?

我小朋友在上康上PG，1-4-10第一天上課，兩小時只是在遊戲室玩，沒有唱歌及說故事，有些擔心日後也是這樣，還是第一天適應期，在上康上課的媽咪，你們也是這樣嗎？

My friend's girl study in Vic pg at HK side and my son study in Vic pg at HMT. We found that the course run down are very similar, even tidy up song, tea time song, instruction are the same.
usually 15mins warm up (free play), 30mins cantonese/ PTH singing or story time. 5mins free play, 15mins tea time, 30 mins english singing or story,
15mins art and craft, 10mins playing in playground.

依我在維記所體驗,
維記一般本地老師的水平真是比NET老師好,
維記本地老師很明顯年輕,有愛心,有活力,有教育幼兒的知識和熱誠, 對小朋友有心機,有笑容,
相反, 維記一般NET老師的水平差異較大,
一般稍欠朝氣精彩, 有些交行貨, 挨到夠鍾就收工的感覺, 而且好們都唔會同本地老師一齊friend的,連吃飯也分本地幫和外番幫架.

Hi 薯仔1607 – 你個小朋友都係上康維記上逢星期二、四的2-3歲Playgroup?
我第1堂就請假倍個仔仔上，第2堂(昨天)開始就工人帶。 第1堂的感覺已經覺得唔好（太多自己玩的時間），第一個鐘的中文班都免強可接受，第二個鐘的英文班實在太差，個NET唔主動，無準備，講故事照讀，唔生動，連snack time song都唔識唱，比多多(Tutor Time – 紅山半島)差得勁!
以為第2堂會安排好d, 但工人話差唔多，個NET只係用咗少少時間去做Story Time & Song Time, 餘下時間仍然係自己玩，激死! 明天(15號)仲要比下個月的學費($2,069)，真係覺得浪費金錢、時間!!
退學要一個月前通知，真係要係今個月尾前諗清楚仲報唔報(6月)!!
如果明天的安排仍無改善，我會打電話比上康維記個校長投訴!
你個仔仔係邊間多多上playgroup?
我以前係紅山半島個間，感覺幾好(除咗學費太貴外)，但紅山多多無playgroup比2歲小朋友，要轉讀Nursery(自己上堂)，所以係09年12月退學。 2月份收到紅山多多的信，話會開新playgroup（比2-3歲小朋友）, 但到現在4月仲未夠人開班（仍欠1個），如果多多有新班，我一定唔會報維記囉!!

Twinboys08 - agreed. Frankly, I found that The Principle (Upper Kornhill) is not well-prepared too. She forgot the name of the new NET during her introduction to us on 1st Apr.
My maid just told me that got a memo from Victoria after school today. They will change 2 new teachers (for Chi & Eng) to lead our PG next week. Hope the new teachers are much better than the current one.
BTW, how's you boys? Are they fully recover?

Hey sh_yip, my boys are getting better and they did go to PG this morning. Not sure how'd it go though...will find out from my helper and my 99 later.
Oh wow, changing teachers already after two sessions ~~ I have reservation for the Cantonese one also as she sometimes used English and sometimes Cantonese during the session, not too professional. I hope next two new ones would be better. Being such a well known school, they should well aware that parents would have high expectation on them !
Yes, already decided to let the boys try out LN for PN. Didn't apply Vic PN, may give K1 a try later though. You, still struggling between KCS and LN, right?

Anyway, we can’t quit till end of May (1 mth in advance notice for withdrawal).

sh_yip, my helper said the class was terrible. 5 minutes singing then free time playing. Also the English teacher was asking one of my boys question, she walked away already when my boy was replying her...this NET really has no heart to the children !!! I'll quit this school anyway as kind of mad that sending us reminder to pay for the next month school fee already while nothing has been taught for three sessions !!
I called the school yesterday asking what curriculum they actually have in plan for this playgroup, the woman said the 1st 3 classes (thought they said 1st two only), were to let the children get use to the enviornment....I mean....do the children really need 3 days, total 6 hours to get used to the place???
Anyway....glad to know that you'll take LN, so our boys could be school mate together !! Morning class, right?

I understand how you feel Twinsboys08. It does sound quite disappointing. I felt a little like you before. Very skeptical....and annoyed about the envelop arriving so quickly! However, after 1 or 2 months, I asked my girls if they like their teachers, they nodded. By now (6 months later), they can sing songs in English and Cantonese which my helpers said are from the NET and Cantonese teachers. They have lots of arts & crafts to bring home which they still play from time to time. Anyways, not hardselling it as I'm sure other places like TT would be better but maybe it's really teacher or campus related.

twinsmummy, I'm confident that Vic is a good school, it's just this campus and teachers only. They said they converted this campus solely for playgroup class...anyway...I hope the faculty does realize parents do have expectation on the class. Sometimes it's not just about money, travelling time also an issue...if they're not able to provide any decent activities to the children, I'd rather use the time and money to explore other opportunities ~

Will it because she is a teacher of Mandarine, so cannot pronounce Cantonese properly? It seems Victoria playgroup has no improvement at all in the past 2 years.
I think same same every year, parents keep on complaining but most will still stay there until the result of Victoria PN is known just like me : )
For all the playgroups I have attended with my girl, Victoria is of the worst quality.......

Hi all, totally agreed with your comments. My son has been attending Victoria PG at HH since he was 1.5 yrs old...I accompained him for few lessons but found it was very disorganised...around one hour was free time...i was there playing with my son...teachers were talking among themselves...then sometime teacher would read story or sing songs but no routine at all... it all depends on the mood or availability of the teacher... i sent my boy there only because it is close to my home.
作者: acpeanuts 時間: 10-4-21 09:37
My boy is also 1.5 years old now. He just started the PG at HH Victoria and another kindergarten at the same time. He enjoys much at Victoria.
We are attending the Sat classes. For the 1st lesson, I don't like the NET teacher as she's very old and not caring for the children. They changed another teacher in the 2nd lesson and I found that the 1st one was just a substitue teacher. This 2nd one is much better. Her name is Miss Nikki and she remembers all the names of the children and loves playing together with us. The local teacher is extremely good as well.
For our class, just less than 30 minutes free time within the 2 hours lesson and it's very organized. Perhaps different class with different teachers makes it different?
作者: Sorb 時間: 10-4-21 09:53
Yes, simply disorganised and too many free time with parents/helpers playing with their children by themselves.
Examples of my experience: The 1st 25 minutes of the class was the teacher just standing at the corner taking attendance while the parents and the kids look for the toys in the classroom to play by themselves. No difference to playing at home? Their toys are not that special ge.
And then another 20 minutes for the children/parents parents to play at its very small and crowded indoor playgroup by themselves. I prefer to play with my child in the playgroud of the park by myself more.

My girls also attend PG at the HH campus. May I ask who the teachers are for your son? As I don't attend the PG class all the time (probably only 1 or 2 times so far) I'm curious to see if it is usually so bad. The times I've been there, I don't think it was that disorganized. Agree though that the indoor playarea is not my favorite and a little too much hea time

作者: Sorb 時間: 10-4-21 11:02
To me, as long as the kids can go out to play, they will be happy. My girl also enjoyed going to Vic playgroup at that time as she could go to play with her mum on Sat mah. She also enjoys going to other playgroups ga.
I think what we parents are talking about here is whether Vic playgroup is value for money. For other playgroups, we pay the $$$, then the teachers will think of lot of group activities to keep all parents and children involved to play, not letting the parents/helpers taking the initiative to play with their own or other children for almost half of the playgroup time.
Lastly, there are only around 12 children in the playgroup, to me, I think the teacher should remember the name of all the children. I can also remember all the children's names at that time ga : ) However, I don't think the NET of my kid's group knew the name of any child, haha.......so, you kid's group is better. Having said the above, the Chinese teacher of my kid's group is cheerful and can remember all the names of the chidlren too.

Miss Nikki is a foreign Teacher in Harbour Heights.
We r in Harbour Heights PG and we are very happy about it. It is so well organised every time with similar rundown as follow:
Ms Choi's Session:
1. 15 mins free play time
2. 30 mins Arts time mixed with fine motor training time. Normally, there are 2 Arts tasks plus 2 fine motor training tasks.
3. 15 mins Tea Time
Rotate another English Speaking Foreign Teacher -- Nikki :
4. 15mins for Physical Warm up Exercise for 15 mins. Songs and Task will be incorporated
5. Free play time at playground for 15 mins
6. Music Time for 15 mins
7. Story time for 15 mins
So far, we find it is so well structured and organised for every lesson. Thus, we do not have any hard feeling so far. Maybe that's y HH campus is always the most competitive one.
My beloved has been got admitted to PN in coming Aug by HH too. We will definitely join their PN in coming Aug
作者: kitmantsoi 時間: 10-4-21 11:32
Same here, my boy attended Vic HMT PG for almost 1 yr. I found both Chinese (Ms Flora) and NET (Ms Joyce) are very nice and caring. The course is systematic with very good time management. After this year's training, my boy can communicate with foreigner smoothly and can speak full sentences in both Cantonese and English. He loves to sing tea time song before meal. Although he will not continue his study in PN, as they only offer 2 days per week course; but I still highly recommend this kinder.

My kid started on Sat class only when he was 1.5 yrs old and changed to weekday class later. I found the weekday PG class is a bit more organised than Sat class... at least the teachers won't be rotated so often. However, looking at the rundown of the class, in total there are 30 minutes free time (15 mins in the Cantonese section and 15 mins in the English section)...it is quite high a portion for a 2-hours class.
作者: Lord-the-man 時間: 10-4-21 11:41
If we look at their run down carefully, they have their intention to set schedule like this....
They let the child to play, but then have to tidy up and to be disciplined again, and sit down,....then play again, and sit down... This let the child know when to do the right thing at the right time....
To me, I m fine with this arrangement actually....Sometimes, in the very beginning, it's very difficult to get the child to calm down again when they are playing in full swing...this is indeed a godd training...
I must say every set up and design has its own implication behind...
作者: yaulinda 時間: 10-4-21 11:42
Compared to as my elder daughter was also attended the same Vic PG 2 years ago, I must say the rundown was less structured, with increased free time, less toys and less involvement of teachers.

I think every playgroup has this similar schedule, the problem here is the teacher are too hea and not involved, and of course too many free play time. I think every campus should have the same standard, it is not because HH is better but because the teachers are better (i.e. luck).
I know more than 10 moms who sent their children to both TT and Victoria for playgroup, none of them said Vic is better, they join the playgroup because they want to get into PN.
I don't know about other playgroup and I can just compare Vic with TT, the teachers at TT are very professional and they have many 道具 every lesson, and they are very involved. There is only 10-15 mins free play in the playground, other time are circle time, singing, story time, sensory table, fine motor and art. Actually the rundown is similar to what you said about Vic HH playgroup.
For Vic, we have started for 1.5 months already, still with ~1 hour free play time..... We will quit for sure after knowing the PN result in end of May!

Oh Linda, I think middle kornhill would be better than upper kornhill coz upper kornhill is a new campus for playgroup and all things are new (including the teachers)! My daughter likes the English teacher (Ms. Annette) very much after attending for 1.5 months and she calls Ms. Annette's name even at home, but they changed the teachers starting from this week, I think because of the complaints form 2-3 year old group, therefore they swap the teachers!
They said free play times are for children to adapt to the environment (i personally do not think that it takes more than 1 month lor!), but they change the teachers suddenly after the children all get used to the previous teachers! What a stupid arrangement

I think Trilingual's seats are very limited and only offered to PN class in CWB and HH. i.e., They will not admit K1 newcomer to their Tirlingual class...and all HH Trilingual students will move to CWB for trilingual K2 class ....i.e., HH Trilingual will be for PN and K1, then move to CWB for K2 and K3

As I read from their school profile (the booklet they distributed together with the application form), all of their classes starting from K1 are trilingual or bilingual (eng/PTH). It means if the kids continue going to K1, all will be trilingual (in all campus).
I talked with the Principal of Lower Kornhill before, asking her the difference between bilingual (eng/cantonese) and trilingual stream for PN, she said even the bilingual stream would have 2 sessions of PTH each week. I think the difference is the presence of a PTH teacher for trilingual stream. Some may think that it is very important and do make a difference, while I think it won't make a big difference! Because after attending their playgroup, I understand that by just having the teacher "presence" is of no use at all, what really matters is how much they involve.

for me, my gal attended the Sat playgroup in HH for almost a year. Although our English teacher changed three times, we found the class is very well organised. And teachers are very nice and caring. I am quite satisfied. And my gal loves going to the playgroup there - many paintings and singings. She can remember those songs and we often sing at home.
作者: yaulinda 時間: 10-4-22 08:53
Jupiter,
I feel very satisfied with the Chinese teacher of Vic PG, she's very devoted.
But I feel quite disappointed towards the NET, she day dreams quite a lot,
she does not actively interact with children (of course not parents la), and she does not has the skill on how to encourage the children to pay attention to her.
Luckily that I didn't quit TT yet.

Jupiter, your comment: "while I think it won't make a big difference! Because after attending their playgroup, I understand that by just having the teacher "presence" is of no use at all, what really matters is how much they involve."
Strongly agree with your comment above, actually, I know a number of Victoria parents sending their kids to Vic PN (bilingual class) as my kid had joined its playgroup 2 years ago. We still have close contact after playgroup. Two of the mums told me exactly your above comments. Both told me the NET of their kid's class are passive (one in CWB and one in HH campus), will not take the initiative to communicate with the students. One of the mums who often speak to her kid in English prior to joining PN told me after going to PN for one month, her kid's English level has deteriorated as the Cantonese teacher is very proactive while the NET is passive, thus, all the students like the Cantonese speaking teacher and like to speak to her all the time instead of the NET. As a result, Cantonese improved a lot while English deteriorated. Interesting comment.........

Actually the students of PN are free to choose which group of activities they want to join.
For my elder daughter's experience in Vic PN, her teachers commented my child mainly choose the Chinese teacher, and she rarely join the NET's group, luckily that her NET was quite good, and my daughter finally joined her group more oftenly towards the end of the school year.
However, they are very "open minded" and never push (or strongly encourage) children to try out different groups.
That's why I think Vic students are very happy but very free when compared to other schools.

Very much agreed with your comment that it is about market demands. Most of the parents today want to put their children in trilingual environment. But I think it does not neccessarily mean that HH trilingual is kind of more "superior" than those Vic bilingual classes, just like what you said, it is about different expectation.
Since my girl is "small" girl, putting her to HH trilingual would mean asking her to face fierce competition, my aim is to get into Vic, so my strategy is not to go for HH trilingual but go for Kornhill bilingual. As the Principal told me that I can make a written request to change to other campus if I like in K1, as many students will leave Vic in K1, there should be spaces available and PN students should have the first priority.
But I think if my girl can get into Vic PN, I won't request change of campus in K1, because all classes will become trilingual in K1 anyway.
作者: Lord-the-man 時間: 10-4-22 13:58
Officially from Victoria's definition, they divide their classes (PN & all K level) into different streams : Trilingual, Bilingual (Eng/Pu & Eng/Cantonese)...
I cannot comment if K1 are all defacto Trilingual in all campus....as they really have such a segregation externally to cater for different demands of the market. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to carry a separate label.
But anyway, carrying a certificate from Tri or Bi lingual stream make no difference in reality if the kid is not able to communicate the language properly in the end.

Thanks a lot for your information, but I read from p.11 that bilingual (eng/cantonese) is for PN only, starting from K1, the bilingual means 英普, but it requires the kids to use either english or PTH as mother tongue. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Anyway, my friend's daughter studies in Vic from PN to secondary school now, her language is good (trilingual), and she was in Lower Kornhill campus before. So I think the student's quality would not be bad no matter they study in HH / CWB / any other campus.
