有"蘇浙 / 嶺南"offer係手, 但唔知讀邊間好? 兩間都無post小一派位資料係網, 好煩。讀邊間好呢, 請問你有什麼意見?

作者: cccbaby 時間: 10-4-1 20:49 標題: 蘇浙 / 嶺南 - 你會讀邊間?

Personally I like 嶺南 better as 蘇浙 campus is not very good. As it locates at the groundfloor of the primary school and where parked with many big school buses. The conditions are not ideal for the little kids. Unlike 嶺南, the kindergarten owns the whole building with fresh air around.

cccbaby,
Thanks for your comments. I do agree that the campus is Lingnan better. However, Lingnan is very far away from my home (I lived in Chai Wan). Would it be too tough for a N1 kid (08大仔) to travel by school bus for 30-45mins? Morover, their cirrculum is quite simple and mainly conducted by Cantonese. Both school sure have their own advantages & disadvanges. Tried to get more info about their P1 allocation result, however, I can't find it on their website.

Hahaha, we had a strange experience with the NET at So Jit interview too. She was so unprepared, we sat there for at least 5 min watching her read her "cheat sheet". Then the first question she asked was if we had any questions. Then she started writing comments but asked us how we spell "behave". When we answered correctly, she said "are you sure there isn't a U in the spelling?" We weren't sure if she was for real or just testing us. hahaha....funny

For me, 蘇浙 definitely for the language development of the kid too. You will be amazed to see so many children who can master 3 language well in 蘇浙 KG. It is not easy to get a place in 蘇浙 PN, don't give up.

I think each KG has its own fans or the persons against it. Comments on a school all depend on the teachers that she/he has meet and the experience that she/he has with the school, and the expectation that the she/he has with the school.

Hi Sorb, I agree with you. That was my reason for applying to So Jit. Unfortunately, the NET really didn't impress me. I guess, it might not be a fair assessment of the school and other teachers. However, these teachers represent the school so hard to not think like that. In anycase, we were a little worry about the NET's level after the interview, even before we know the results.

I think it's good the kids do so well in SO Jit. Otherwise, there won't be so many applicants each year.

作者: Sorb 時間: 10-4-15 14:49

I aslo agreed with you that when compared to other PN/KG interviews that I had with my girl in the past 2 years, So Jit is not good in running its interview. It's interview also gave me a -ve impression of the school 2 years ago. Especially when I compared it to the interview arrangement of Victoria. Victoria's interview is so organised, just like going to playgroup : ) This is why I had also struggled if I should choose So Jit PN 2 years ago.

After my girl studying in it for more than 1.5 years, I am pretty satisfied with this school. My girl enjoys going to school very very much and can master 2 languages quite well (Mandarin with no input from family), which is really out of my expecation. Thus, I will recommend it to you if you don't mind this school has some room for improvement with its adminstration......which affect mainly the parents, not the child.

Hi Sorb, thank you for your perspective. For now, So Jit is not an option for us unfortunately. Though the NET teacher said she'll "put in a good word" for us, we did not get accepted. Guess we'll need to wait for K1 application.

(pls don't get me wrong....I'm not bad mouthing So Jit because my kids didn't get accepted )

作者: Sorb 時間: 10-4-15 15:05

No worry, Twinsmummy, I think no one will think that way from the messages you have left in BK.

Apply next year and make the choice among the offers that you have again next year. KCS KG is easier to enter than KCS PN as KG has far more places (more than double) than PN and some KCS PN students will go to KCIS or other more famous KGs on HK Island.

Next year if you really apply, choose Chinese as the medium of interview lah : )

Thanks for your advice. I'm not sure if we can choose Chinese as the medium as my girls' Chinese is not good. We're starting to speak more Cantonese at home and I see improvement. Not sure where they will be by the time we interview again. I would say their Mandarin might be a tad bit better than their Cantonese since their PTH teacher now is very strict. Plus we just put them in a PTH playgroup.

作者: Sorb 時間: 10-4-15 16:21

Actually, unlike PN interview where we can choose among 3 languages. KCS KG only allows parents to choose between Mandarin and English. I originally planned English as my Mandarin is not that good. Don't know why, we choosed Mandarin when being asked by the teacher on the interview day. The teacher spoke to us in Mandarine (the teacher can speak Cantonese), I tried to answer in Mandarine first but changed quickly to Cantonese as I feel ashamed of my Mandarin.......so, my interview is actually a combination of Cantonese and Mandarin (with little bit of English). So, I don't think any problem if your girl chooses Chinese for interview next year.

Thanks for all your advice. However, seems most of the comments are mainly on KCS. Frankly, it's really hard to search info/comments on Lingnan.

BTW, would you mind let me know which PTH playgroups your girls is attending. I'm interested on it too. Thx in advance.

Actually, I'm trying to decide between LN pm and Victoria am. It's true info on LN is not a lot. It's a good school no doubt but I'm not sure about Cantonese only and prospect of their K3 students.

My girls are learning PTH playgroup at Le Beaumont (Gifted Baby class). Their teacher is super nice and they enjoy their class so far (Ms Cai is better).

作者: Sorb 時間: 10-4-16 09:35

Twinsmmy, if I were you......I would not have any headache in choosing between the 2 offers.

Firstly, AM class is far more better than PM class for arranging the rest time and activity time for children. I have given up offer of a famous KG because it is PM class as I value proper afternoon sleep more important to a little kid.

Secondly, you also weight the language element of a school as important, so no doubt, Victoria is very strong in this area.

So, I will suggest you choose Victoria PN first and then apply other KGs next year and have Victoria KG as a back-up. Unlike PN, there are many choices of good KGs next year.

HI Sorb, I agree with your decision logic. We are leaning towards Victoria as I know the girls already enjoy their PG there and they will continue to enjoy PN and KG. We'll apply to other KG next year but we know we're still safe with Vic. We're starting to think about SIS. Do you know about this school?

Yes, thanks for your vote! I think we'll prob go for Victoria. Not decided yet.
The girls are at Le Beaumont. They really like Ms Cai. It's like a playgroup so they do some dancing, then some games on a specific topic, then they will all help to lay and clean the table for snacks. During snacks, the teacher will get each kid to count to 10. (a bit boring but I guess useful). So in the last 6weeks, they had topics of Insects, Happy/sad and now vehicles. We took the class on another day with a different teacher. Helpers said not so good so I think quite teacher dependent once again.

SIS, I have no idea as I do not plan to put my girl to international school. I prefer to let her have a stronger foundation with Chinese in local school first and send her overseas when she is in secondary school, say after F5.

SH-IP, as you can seen, I keep silent on your guys comment about KCS's NET in this thread as I cannot comment. The reason being I do not have the time to observe how the NET teaches the class (we can do this if we have time and observe outside the classroom through the door window). In all my other dealings with the school, I deal with the Chinese teachers only. So, not able to comment loh. But what I can tell you is the kids (that I know) like the NET a lot. I have not heard the mums that I know in KCS compliants about the NET. KCS starts to teach phonics starting from K1, and it seems my girl knows many phonics sound after the 1st term of K1.

Last piece of information, when the NET is teaching the class, the other Chinese teachers will be there to help out, so, I think the performance of the NET is being monitored also.....so, I think they dare not to be too "hea" gua.

By the way, does LN has NET to teach English? How often is it?

Cool! My girls are Jan08 so same as your son? You can go to Le Beaumont and sit there to listen to the owner (bring a coffee....he talks a lot and all over the place). Once you've done that, you'll get a free trial class. I think the quality is really teacher dependent so I would recomment a trial class for you to see if the teacher is any good.

I think I probably won't pick LN since it's PM. We'll probably go to Victoria AM class. Too bad our kids won't be classmates lah. A little worried since a lot of bad comments on the Vic PG lately.

Hi Sorb – thanks for your sharing.
Lingnan do have NET.
For PN, they have 3 English session per week (but only for 15mins, mainly singing).
For K1, they have English session everyday (but I forgot last for how long).
Do you know that KCS K3 student need to 諗乘數表 (from 1 to 5)?
KCS actually teaching P1 curriculum in K3.
Other than NET, any comments for their local teachers?
Are they caring to the kids?

My colleague told me an experience about her niece in KCS PN class (this year). The kid was missed the school-bus and their teacher/nanny of school bus not aware of it at all.

作者: Sorb 時間: 10-4-27 15:36

Sorry, I do not know if KCS K3 student need to 諗乘數表 (from 1 to 5). If you want information, I can ask my niece tonight.

Frankly speaking, I really don't care if KCS K3 will teach P1 syllabus or not.  I wish it will teach K3 level only as I am not targetting a KG that is too 谷 academically.  But so far in K1, KCS K1 is very free and not 谷 at all.  So, my girl enjoys school life very much.  Nothing is more important than my girl enjoying school life while learning a new language at the same time.

The local teachers I have encountered (in PN and K1) are all caring, friendly, responsive and observative.  They really understand the personality of each children in the class and phoned the parents to discuss once they noted changes with our kids.  I appreciated this greatly.

For serveral times, I forgot to call to inform the teacher my girl was sick.  The teacher called me to ask on that day or the day after.  So, I don't believe the teacher will not know the student is missing.

For your case re school bus, I cannot comment as I am not a user of the school bus.  But pls bear in mind that there are school buses operated by school and Yellow school bus operated by outsiders.
