Hi Ian,

I also read your comments earlier this year about SC, they are very informative...thanks for sharing.  I will also apply SC soon as this school is my 1st priority.  I hope that my girl will be as lucky as your elder daughter!

Hi all,

I just called Good Hope this afternoon and they said that more information about KG application will be posted to the primary school website soon.  We can call them again by late Sep 09.

Hi ML_Ngan,

You are welcome and I hope it will be useful for you.

I think it's good that your daughter likes to read.  Shannon (my elder one) likes to read too but she usually would like us to tell her the story, or she just flips the pages herself.  Try spend time to read so some days you will get surprises that she will read it back to you!

Feel free to PM me anytime, no need to ask first ;) since I got a few PM a day to reply anyway so I will check my messages from time to time.  Just excuse me if I reply late when I am busy.

Hi! Ian,

My daughter always like to read books but I don't understand what is she talking about.  She always point at some pictures and says ga ga, ma ma, pa pa etc.  She is still afraid of walking alone.  I hope she is able to speak and walk during December interview at HKPS.

Do you mind if I pm you about some querries on choosing kindergartens or interview?

Hi elmolly,

That's a good school!  If that's the case, then PC is absolutely not your cup of tea!  SHCK + GHS will be a good combination to consider.  Have you consider Our Lady's in Wong Tai Sin and St. Clare's at West point?  Another options to consider.

Here's the link to the thread in SHCK's forum where we discussed about the interview early this year.

http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/vie ... &extra=page%3D3

I feel bad to occupy this thread for parents who are also interested in SHCK.  Hopefully this thread can give you some insights.  But the truth is the format changes every year.  So the information can only be used as reference.

Feel free to PM me if you may still have more questions concerning SHCK.

Ian,

actually, if the gov't lucky draw system remains the same, my girl will have 25 points to another canossian school in kowloon tong, so to be honest I'm looking for something better than it, I'm not saying PC is not a top one, but I prefer girls school with catholic background.

Hi! Ian,

Regarding SH interview, please advise and pm me such as what kind of questions will be asked to parents and kid.

Thanks!

shawnshawn

may u pls pm me the SH interview for K1, million thx

ML_Ngan

Hi Ian,

Yes, I totally agree with you.  I attempt to try different famous kindergarten schools both HK side and Kowloon side.
Regarding  pre-nursery schools at Kowloon Tong, I only apply Keen Mind and HKPS.  I never intends to apply Cannan and Victoria, they seem very "commercial" and I don't want to increase her pressure.  If she fails during pre-nursery interview, I just let her to stay in playgroup till 3 years old.

Every parent would like to provide the best for their kids, of course, children have their own unique capability and talent, we just try our best to create and prepare a path for them.

Hi ML_Ngan,

Thanks and yes, the school uniform my elder daughter was wearing is belongs to SHCK, where she will starts K1 next Tue.  My wife and I are non-playgroups believer so we didn't send her to any play-groups at all.  However, I do believe in the value of pre-nursery so we did send her to study there for a year.  However, for pn, we chose one that is convenient and we happen to have a Creative Nursery right underneath our building so that's where we sent her.

For some parents which have read my previous posts during the application process, KV was the original No.1 choice for us.  But as I get more knowledgeable on P1 application, I was lucky that I didn't limit my choice too early and did apply to different types of kindergartens.  It's because from the time you plan to apply, to the time you have got all the acceptance and need to decide, many many months would have gone past and things can change.  So, it's better to leave more options to yourself rather than giving it up too soon by not even applying.  In our case, even for kinder we no longer need to consider, we still send our daughter to interview so just to get more interview experience.

In fact, my young daughter was born in the same month as your daughter.  She also cannot talk yet which is much later comparing to her elder daughter.  I am a bit concern too but won't be too worried since I know the kids can change in very very short time frame.  So, they may suddenly talk a lot in the next few weeks, you never know.  ;)

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply.

Some BK parents said that Kentville will have its website this year.  I hope so!

My daughter is 0806 kid, I hope to apply HKPS & Keen Mind nursery schools (for 2 years old), then I will apply the other kindergarten schools such as SC, KV, SPK etc.

I am still worried my kid because she still cannot start to walk alone and she can only speak some simple words such as pa pa.  I think my daughter cannot catch up HKPS interview in December.

Hi elmolly,

I guess being able to express her own preference is probably the only thing Shannon is good at, haha.  

I think you are right, my wife and I know PC is not our cup of tea.  However, I do suggest you still apply to PC since it is still a good backup option (first choice of many, in fact).  The fact is the options for thru train schools are very limited (around 10 which is consider real thru train), and kids are unpredictable from time to time, so I would recommend to plan for more schools to apply, and decide how many you will interview, so and so.  Of course, this is just a suggestion based on experience.

Good luck!

Ian

It's good to know that you got the call from KM and your daughter will be attending it.  Shannon hasn't started yet at SHCK since they starts school on Sept.1.  Fortunately, she is still  ...

Hi Ian,

I do remember your girl loves SH very much, it's really great that she knows what she wants at such a young age! don't worry so much for your younger one, I guess she'll get accepted very likely as her sister is there already.

I think PC is something very different from SH, if you picked SH, it just simply means that PC is not something you want, so don't look back. PC is not my cup of tea as well, I won't apply it for my girl. good luck to your little one and mine

Really?
Good news for my daughter...She'll be K1 2011/12.
SPK and SH defintely a dream school for catholic girls, whereas GH also a very good choice.
