請問各VSA家長!

請問各VSA家長, 學校校風好嗎? 有欺凌程況嗎?
英文和中文程度如何? 老師helpful嗎? 學生會否因太寬鬆而比較懶呢?
鄰居有小朋友就讀, 大約P2-P3, 聽佢同家傭對話, 英文程度好一般, 跟一般本地小學差不多呢!

As VSA is not an international school and most of students are Chinese, you cannot expect their english is as good as students who are studying in international school.  It provided a balanced environment (english/chinese).  Students can write and read chinese and it's standard is similar to local school.

Besides, the principle just announced that VSA will only accept Victoria Kin's students in 1st round.  If all seats are filled in 1st round, VSA will not accept the outsider.

學校校風如何？建議你有時間，在小息或午飯時段到學校看看。你說的欺凌情况是絕對有，在小息打架、推撞、在飯堂擲吃剩的食物(生果或生菜)等行為，不難看到，而負責當值老師通常只兩三人站在一旁聊天看不到，所以不要期望以上事情發生時，每次都有老師出來處理！課堂裏的秩序都未能控制得好，因為實在太多大少爺和大小姐，再加埋一些特別頑皮分子！

100%同意Tinama所講

蝦米

外人可以參觀嗎?  早上都會見到VSA學生等校巴, 又不覺太頑皮, 只是英文不算太好!!  真的那麼差嗎!? 你小朋友在VSA就讀嗎?  是否經常被欺凌?

hi Tinama,

Could you pm to me too.  Many thanks.

Hi, my son is studying in VSA. A lot of people misunderstnad VSA to be an international school. I view it as a mix between local and international school, I like the fact that the students learn Chinese reading and writing just like local school kids do and that they have exposure to and learning methods similar to international schools. I also think the situations decribed by Tinama can be found in any primary schools whether it is a local or international school, those are just natural behaviour of kids, so no big deal. If you are really interested to find out more about the school, there is an open day on 17th May, next Saturday, you can come and see for yourself. of course I would be happy to answer if you have other specific questions on the school.

多謝你解答!!  
那學生的英文情度如何?  不及國際學校, 但會比傳統好嗎? 你囝囝試過被欺凌嗎?

Since my son has studied in Victoria Group for 5 yrs (inc. 3 yrs kindergarten), his Eng. standard i think is better than the same grade in local school. However, VSA encourage the students use their mother tongue outside classroom. that is, you can speak your own language. So, that's why their eng.standard will not improved so much.

Did VSA know that "ractice" is an important factor for improvement the work? For eg. We need to practice more so that our piano skill will be improved. If the school encourage the students to speak Eng and Mandarin during recess or anywhere, I think their English standard will have great improvement. From the point of School, they dont need to spend time and money but only "Encourage". Why dont try it?

As I remembered in one of the assembly long time ago, the principal emphasis that they encouraged the students to use their mother tongue to communicate outside classroom. Not sure if this is one of the theme of IB. But I like this arrangement

其實學校應該盡量鼓勵學生多用英語和普通話交談, 才先會進步.
記得在幼稚園的三年裏, 學校衹准學生用英語和普通話, 每當學生講廣東話時, 老師就會引導小朋友用回英語或普通話再講一次, 這樣他們就會多講,多運用. 才能提升外語能力.

如果祗在上課時才講外語, 那麼維記跟普通小學有何分別?????

People3

非常同意.  好多家長也反映了這個issue. 但校長堅持要有兩文三語 so廣東話count as 一語.

小朋友d中和英文level相差好遠, 有些同學在p1時英文a-z的拼音都不懂, 功課又不按時交, 老師在教學時也很有很大難處.

小朋友d中和英文level相差好遠 ? 你意思係中文好過英文好多 ? 係只講定寫? 畀咁貴學費都係想英文好d !d 先生又唔敢話班米飯班主, 都幾頭暈!如果可以再揀小學會否讀番維記?

維記學生的level很參次, 所以近呢2年中英文都有分group 教, 使不同程度的學生都可以照顧到. 而大部份學生係英文好過中文的. 但如果你係想英文好d而讀維記, 就要考慮清楚了! 維記學生一般對英文聽和理解都很好. 但寫就一定沒有出面那些名校學生咁叻. 因為低年班的老師係好少改小朋友的作文. 目的係想佢地自由發揮先. 而功課也不多, 少操練就當然冇咁叻喇!

我畀咁貴學費都係想個仔有全面的發展和沒有讀書的壓力下成長. 佢現在3年級, 好明顯係比其他學校的學生有正面的學習態度, 分析和思考力很強, 考試也會自動自覺溫習, 不用我去粗心呢!

我唔覺或從未聽過話英文會分group教.  是否個別老師 / 班別的教法?  你是否指Booster Class?  可惜今年07-08已經沒有了.

level參次是指英文和中文的程度都很參次.  功課多少視個別老師的決定, 不是一致.

雖然呀仔從未因不按時交功課而受罰, 但如忘記帶通告/功課, 呀仔都會好緊張, 有d驚驚....我相信老師會有同佢訓話, 唔會不了了之!!

雅花仔都係三年級,佢話中文同英文都有分group教喎! 我隻仔中文唔係好好,佢同同級的其他班同學入左B班上中文堂.好似今個星期三中文科評估,佢話我知佢張試卷有四頁,而正常的A班有七頁.

People3

會不會由三年級才起始分小組教?  因為二年級都無.  如果真的分小組.......比較好因可配合不同小朋友的需要.

今個星期好忙, 又要中和英默書又做評估, 當然也要做功課.

至於無交功課, 小女那班always日日有7-8人無交齊功課.  當然老師也會處罰小朋友.
