Great, thank you!

It's an online exercise called "Mandarin Matrix" under which our kids are encouraged to finish one Chinese exercise online everyday. Of course it's still up to the kids whether to do it or not. The exercise contains reading listening writing (online) and speaking.  I found it very useful but do not compare with the local Chinese curriculum.

Actually there's something similar in RCHK called 每日一篇but its 繁體. 每日一篇is mainly a Chinese comprehension exercise but its article is longer and more difficult. Mandarin Matrix is a relatively comprehensive exercise but is more simple.

Hi myjasmine, can you share more detail about this reading scheme. I want to suggest it to the teaching team at KJS. Thanks!

KJS has adequate amount of homework and there are quite a number of field trips as well. When parents have concerns, the school's management team is usually quick to respond. Having that said, it does help to have a good class teacher to enhance your child's learning. But this applies to every school of course. I like to hear more about the daily Chinese reading scheme at BHS, it sounds like a very good scheme, I hope KJS would have that too.

Choosing school is really headache. But the worst is....you don't have the choice. KJS is very competitive and the kids in cat II were hard to have a chance to be interviewed.

Yes I agree both schools are good school.
That"s why I want to know more about these 2 schools and choose between them

myjasmine

I believe KJS is also a good school.  We can only compare if we have kids studying in both schools.

Seems every one here would choose BHS

I also appreciate the daily online Chinese reading homework provided by BHS. It helps my daughter recognizing more Chinese words.

BHS is a good school, no comment about KJS.
It is a small school, my son almost get to know all of them. And this school used to switch different classmates each year, so that students can mix around.

May I know why your wife preferred BHS?

My son graduated from BHS and I don't know much about KJS.  I happened to discuss about primary schools for my daughter with my wife, she preferred BHS.

I just heard the opposite.  BHS is quite loose and less homework.

真正用家。信不信由你

My gal in year 3 in BHS is having homework weekly and also Chinese homework almost weekly as well.

I can't comment KJS but BHS is a really good school. No homework but my daughter learnt a lot from the school. The teachers are teaching from the hearts. The principal is always in the school to welcome the students in the morning. It depends if you want your kid to learn or want your child to have more homework. If homework is what you are looking for, pls don't choose BHS. Good luck with your choice.
