There is no such thing as good in universal term.

Just try your best and the schools which appreciate her beauty will give her the offer.

Rather than trying to match what a school want, the right school will have their arms open.

Hi Smartbaby0911,

For some degrees of certainty, Braemar Hill is the logical choice for those who target SPCC.  However, according to their current parents, the privileges they used to enjoy are no longer being provided so the number of acceptance is not as high as in the past.  Of course this is just one of the many factors to explain this.

Another popular choices are the two SKH kindergartens.  But frankly, I guess it is the character of the child and the preparation that make it happen.  You two as their graduates should have the first hand knowledge of what type of students that they like.

Good luck!

Ian

SPN should likely be the only one.....  do you consider Lingnam and KCS as one-dragon too?  They also have pre-nursery and primary school too, but without secondary school technically related.

If that's the case, then my suggestion to you is to spend time to understand the differences among these schools.

Personally I don't agree to chase after popular choices, although that's not a wrong thing to do.

Apart from SPCC, I think most of the parents here will be happy if their kids can join QC, KC, WY(HK), SPC too haha :)

Glad to learn that the information are useful.

But I didn't receive any PM from you.  You may need to try to send again.

Hi Ian, just want to say that your posts and advice is very helpful and interesting. Thanks for taking the time to help other parents. I sent you a PM and hope you can give some more advice.

iantsang

My apology to many members who had PM me for the past couple weeks.

There were some family situations which I must attend to so have missed to reply many of you.  I have tried to reply all now but if I still miss anyone, please kindly remind me.  Thanks!

Hi Ian,

I am a new member and would treasure some advice from you on kindergartens and schools.  Please kindly check PM.

Many thanks!

The biggest difficulty will be Chinese.  Even many children from local kindergartens would have issues with Chinese for the traditional primary schools.  So you can imagine the difficulty the children may face as they switch from international stream which spent little time on writing Chinese.

Of course, this can be overcome.  You just need to be aware of it.

The question is, if the target is local stream, why begin with international stream?

Dear all,

Just realize that this thread has marked its 2-years anniversary yesterday.  Through these years, thank you very much for all the questions and sharing that we have done through this platform.

As some of you may notice, I have begun to write for a local magazine, and my first article has just been released this week.

The first topic is similar to this thread and it happens to be published on the anniversary date of this thread too!

Hi Ian,

Found the information you provided very useful.  Could you give me some advice pls? My daughter is currently 2.5 yrs.  I am now busy in applying K1 for her and is targeting one dragon schools ...

HI Fatta,

Frankly, the choices of these one-dragon kindergartens are so limited, my advice is you should take some time to understand them first.

Ideally for your case, I guess you should look for some of them which have co-ed private primary schools so hopefully your son, if lucky to be accepted by the same kindergarten, can so be benefited.

The trouble is, not many one-dragon kindergartens would have heavy preferences given to the younger siblings while also fit the above criteria.

My personal recommendation is True Light, but must aware even though there primary school is co-ed, but the number of boys are very low.

Hi Ian,

Do you have any comment on Creative Primary School's Kindergarten?  Is it a good one dragon K for small son to study in?

As there are few CPSK parents to share,, hope you can give some advi ...

I have little knowledge of their kindergarten too but I know their primary school is a IB candidate school.  So, you will need to consider if you would prefer to choose non-local curriculum for their primary study.

If you think TT's primary school fees are acceptable, then it is as good as one-dragon.  The key reason why it has low percentage of promotion to P1 is simply because many parents will opt out due to the school fees.  At the end, TT is the rare one which accepts voucher with reasonable language training.

For the other schools, please note Heep Yunn is not an one-dragon as their primary school is gov't aided.  Need to be competitive for the less than 10 knock-door seats.  Rhenish is also not one-dragon as I know, and similar situation with Alliance as they will need to be interviewed like the outsiders.

Just attend more interviews and understand your child more before you decide.  Good luck!

請比一些意見
THANKS ...

I would have little knowledge on the kindergartens you have mentioned but if your daughter is studying in the current one which seems to be a small and caring nursery, I would think it is good for her to stay unless you have a better reason.

Are you hoping that being a student in PLK kindergartens may eventually help you to put your daughters into one of the PLK primary schools nearby?  If that's the case, my suggestion is you better try to collect more information from your neighbours and see if they actually got accepted from door-knocking stage.  Any other acceptance to these primary schools before this is irrelevant to where they study.

I don't think students from these kindergartens would be directly promoted to any primary schools.

I think all four are good kindergartens and it is totally up to what you expect from a kindergarten to be able to tell you which one is more suitable.

Basically they are two different things:

If you consider PB kindergarten, then what you can hope for is they will at max reserve the few door knocking seats after central allocation for their own kindergarten.  Sorry I don't have the information on how much preference they would give their own kindergarten students.

On the other hand, for RHS, I think what usually is the issue would be their secondary school.  If you consider the language training is important, and six more years of private primary is worth the money, then certainly RHS is a good choice when you compare this angle with PB.

Thank you very much Ian for your advice.  

Honestly I do not know how good or bad RHS's primary is.  Since if you don't consider their secondary, it is better that you look for another primary school at an earlier stage than at a later point of time.  Especially the secondary school allocation is based on the region of the primary school, so it means the allocation will be in Wan Chai District.  The issue behind is most good secondary schools would have their own feeder primary schools already, which means the seats left for outsiders are very limited.  So, it created a difficult situation.

Hi ILOVEBEAN,

Thanks for the appreciation but I always feel I owe my family a lot on the contrary!

Anyway, concerning your question between TT and TL, the two are very different in many perspectives.

For the two, I would vote for TL for sure based on your "requirement".  I would never worry about the English level of a school in band 1 level, issues with transitions to secondary using English as medium of instruction should not be a common for these cases.  If you put her in TT(Int'l), I would have the same doubt that you have.  It will not be a local curriculum and it will be even harder for her to return to mainstream secondary school.

Hope this help you.

Ian
