MATTHAW

各位, 請問九龍塘(啟思小學)好嗎???  是否一定要直上啟思中學?  是否一定要出國留學?  除了學費, 其他支出很多嗎?  謝謝!

我個女現在小三，她好開心，仲未有唔想番學嘅想法，老師同校長對同學有愛心，因人少班主任更加了解同學的個性，學費貴，但父母不用花太多時間睇功課，轉IB有好更有壞，但揀得啟思嘟因為想小朋友更加獨立而上課課程又接近本地學校。

七千幾學費真係好貴，但我都係好喜歡啓小。相信小朋友會讀得開心。如果唔洗補習，都可慳少少。想問啓小的課外活動貴唔貴？我怕學費+雜費+課外活動要過萬。

Thanks for your sharing. I also concern very much that my kid can't survive in other government-aided schools...
Tuition of 70K a year is reasonable if the curriculum works for the kids and more important if parents could support. Think about some of the kindergartens in Kowloon Tong, tuition is the same or can be even higher.

"還請家長多了解IB是怎樣的, IB的世界大同教育觀, 很可惜, 今天還是辦不到, IB唔係個個頂得順呀."

That's a good point!! However, basically, IB is better than any other types of traditional learning mode in terms of research. It's effectiveness and outcome should depends on how many resources the school is willing to pay, and to what extend does the principal and teachers realize the "essence" of IB philosophy, instead of only focusing on the "frame" of IB.

The school is learning, I believe and the teachers are learning as well, this is an on-going process of learning.

So far, if the direction and attitudes of the school is on the right track, as parents, I support IB mode in this school as the kid does benefit from the learning!

'The students came out from there are quite 西化,鬼仔化', - not the case!

My daughter is at P1. The truth is she can't get into other DSS through interview and written test, so CPS is our only choice as I won't think the girl will survive in other government aided school with existing education philosophy!!

So far, the most impressive one is their Chinese curriculum, my girl has reading and writing difficulties, she does really well in Chinese reading, in recognizing words, and the most importantly, with passion to do her Chinese homework, such as writing sentences, writing short compositions...and very motivate to work on regular assessment, including short dictations and regular on-going tests.. Excellent curriculum, creative and passionate teachers and very child-centred!!  Just follow their curriculum and philosophy of teaching, I can teach her at home, by following the materials, much more better than TSL's Chinese teaching where my son is in..

Maths is good, the way they design the curriculum is based on conceptual learning... easy to follow curriculum, easily be absorbed by children, motivated to learn, even with difficulties..

English is still a doubt!! when comparing with my son's school curriculum, the curriculum is quite disorganized, but still they focus much on reading diversely, and learning phonics at this stage, no formal assessment, then you can learn by yourself..

GS- discovery lesson, kids do projects and present their projects...my girl learn to present herself from P1. good training for learning difficulties children...good part of the learning

Other than the on-going observation of the English curriculum, others are fine...

Expensive, but resolve much of the problems that may create by the school environment on my girl, it's still very worth and happy to pay!!

Teachers are supportive, school is willing to accommodate learning barrires, but enlist strengths of kid, I can't find this in school without paying any fee...Even in TSL, I learn that some kids with brilliant English standard still have to leave school as they can't cope with the dictation requirements... It's luck that TSL reject my girl, otherwise, she will be dying there!!

No perfect school, but just a suitable choice!!

Very impressive, 24 students get into SPCC...... If 25 students per class,  ...

No, of course not 24 CPS students.

I mean Co-Ed picked 24 students from all HK primary schools through Outstanding/Talent scheme, there is CPS student there.  There is also CPS student admitted through normal channel.

Very impressive, 24 students get into SPCC...... If 25 students per class, 4 classes at P6, so 100 students in P6, 24% at least may go to SPCC.
Am I correct? Or among 24 students through the scheme, some come from CPS.

I also checked the school coverage, 100 students and through whatever allocation or application methods, they went to 45 schools in 2010-2011. Pretty diversified.

No offense.  But from your claim 'The students came out from there are quite 西化,鬼仔化', you know very little about that school.  CPS education is built on two pillars, the respect of Chinese traditional and happy/active learning.  CPS is not an international school.  Chinese is the major teaching media.  Why do you think their students are westernlized ?  If parents opt for CPS, they probably don't buy international school teaching style and high-pressure, spoon-feeded learning.  Give and take, CPS students may not have advanced knowledge as those from traditional schools, but they learn concepts and have good attitude on learning.  Are CPS students competitive for seconary school places ?  Check the school website to see where the students go.  This year, of the 24 students admitted to St. Paul Co-Ed through Outstanding Students & Young Talents Schemes, there is CPS student.  Hope this clarifies.
