Hi, I called the school and they said after deducting the seat for their existing N1 students, there are only 48 seats available. AS you can see there are al least 1500 applicants on the broad on interview day. So the succesful rate will be really low.

Thank you Choifay.

Was it 1500 for CWB only? I didn't notice that but it sounds scary!

May I clarify if it was 48 seats for trilingual or both trilingual and international?

No worry, the KG places at this moment is a very optimistic statistic of Vicotoria which has not taken into account the withdrawal rate of the PN students later. Some students from Victoria PN will change to other KGs in K1....I know 4 children attending Victoria PN last year, but 3 of them have changed to another KG in K1. So, the school's KG figure after deducting PN students is not reliable at all. Many places will be released later, so, high chance of admission if you are on the waiting list after the interview.

Hi happymom1, the figure 48 is the total # of seat including all language classes at CWB campus when they told me. But maybe Sorb is right, there might be some students withdraw afterwars, although they should have paid " registeration fee", some of them might give up due to other choices. Did your kids do well during the interview? can he/ she reply to the teacher in both English & PTH ?

Hi Choifay and Sorb,

Thanks for your info.

I just called Victoria today to asked the same question.  They said they have 2 classes of 26 seats= total of 52 (bilingual and trilingual) for 2010 K1 and there were 100-200 applications.  But I remember you said they were showing 1,500 on the board.  I wonder why there was  such big discrepancy.  (not blaming, just curious) I kind of saw the board on the way of out but didn't look at it because the interview was pretty bad and I was a bit upset of their admin error.

Actually, I applied for the trilingual class but they put me in the bilingual class interview.  80% of the interview was conducted in Mandarin which my son had no idea of, felt uncomfortable and I had to interpreted it into English for him.  BTW, all other parents in the classroom spoke fluent Mandarin!  Due to the unhappy Mandarin session, my son was really hesitant in the English story time but he did well in music.  We didn't join the parent discussion session at all. My son was very young in his year so we didn't think we would get in and didn't bother to tell them they have put us in the wrong class.

However by surprise, they accepted us for the international PM class!!  And it seems so hard to get in (3:100 or 1:4?) - we wonder if we should consider it.  That's why I'd like to hear the parents' opinion why they like Victoria.  Is it mainly their language capability?  Their pri sch allocation? Or...??  Please share your view.

And what are you results from Victoria?

Thank you!

Hi all,

My daugher is also being accepted into the bilingual PM class at CWB. Can you share your opinion on why we should choose Victoria as I haven't made up my mind yet. Actually, what is the actual difference between Trilingual and bilingual class in terms of the content of the class being held?

Hi happymum1, for sure 100-200 applicants is wrong, not sure how come they tell you this no. The broad clearly marked with all student name at different timeslot, for just in case you forgot the bring the interview letter, so that you can check the exact intervew time. Anyway not a key anymore. may I know what is international class ?? English + PTH? or English + PTH + cantonese ?

Hi Choyfay,

I know 100-200 doesn't sound right as Victoria is very popular. Anyway, that's what Vic told me.

Int'l class is English + PTH.

Cheers,

I think there's only 200 applicant, because i looked the details on the board when my husband attending the parents section, there was 7 papers on the board and 30 names on each paper including 6 papers for applying K1 and another 1 paper applying k2-k3, it shows the interview time from 10:00am to around 3:00p.m already! However, i only got waiting list result, i hope some of the parents would kindly release the seats out.

I heard that the bilingual class is more popular then trilingual class. Is that true?

I wonder why students from Victoria gets good primary school allocation. Is it usually through the stage 1 'direct application'? Or stage 3 'door-knocking'?

I'd appreciate if you could share...

To be frank, those families who can send their children to study in Victoria are usually families with relatively good financial background or education background. So, these parents will invest quite a lot outside to train their children in addition to the training in Victoria. Thus, their children can easier get a seat in those good primary schools loh. Sometimes, I wonder if it is Victoria which contributes to the good allocation result or the background and the investment of the parents that contribute to the good allocation result : )

I know Victoria will for sure give offers to those children whose parents are from St Paul Co-ed. You know why, because their children have a higher chance of entering St Paul Co-ed mah.

Hi Happymum,

yes bilingual class is far more popular than Trilingual. Let;s think what is the purpose of entering victioria, I think most of the reason is " expose kids to English / PTH environment". Frankly even bilingual classs, kids might speak in cantonese as this is their mother langauge. If the class is cantonese permitted ( let say in trilignual class ), they will surely treat cantonese as their prime lanuage in the class, then the weighting on English / PTH will naturelly reduced. This may mis-match the original purpose. Plus for sure there will be more foreign kids in Bilingual class, this will encourage their daily communication in English/ PTH.

If I have not mistaken, International Baccalaureate (IB) is the curriculum preparing you to go to international schools and study overseas. However, IB curriculum do not match the HK local syllabus. Difficult to shift back later, but OK if your kid follows IB in KG if you target local primary schools....but your kid may need more time to adjust at the beginning of primary school than those kids from local KGs .

IB課程與傳統課程的教學模式不一樣，功課比以往少，上課不再只是留在課室聽老師講課。例如上科學課時，會嘗試用意粉造橋，又會到後海灣測試水質污染程度及水深，並到梅窩欣賞生態環境、觀察石頭的形狀，這種寓學習於娛樂的方法令學生獲益良多，與傳統的教學模式截然不同。

I think whether you choose Victoria or other KG depends on what kind of KG life you want to give your kid, I think for sure they will be happy if studying in Victoria with less homework and no test.....but tougher life in the beginning of primary school.

I applied Victoria (Harbour Heights) - Bilingual pm. I received the admission letter yestersday(10 Dec). Originally, this is one of my target school as I think my daughter can expose to English / PTH environment. But after weighting the pros and cons obtained from BK, I think I will give up as I am afraid she will have difficulty to adjust to local primary. Anyway, I got an offer from other school.
