陳守仁小學 comments N advises 家長報到!

What Principal mentioned is very accurate. There is only Chinese dictation in around every 2 weeks. There is no so called English dictation, only English words spelling.
If you compare the workload in Kindergarten, of course you will find that it is substantially increased. However, the homework workload for TSL as compared to other Government schools, it is less.

Hi, Flostangraphy,
Starting to be more and more busy both for my work and the kid's work.
Look forward to seeing you in the TSL Open day.
Furthermore, look forward to seeing you and your kids joining the TSL family in the coming school year.
One hint : if you and your kid have the WILL, you can make it.

Principal,
I fully agree with you that the school and the teacher are striving the best to improve the Chinese level in TSL. Take for the case in P.1 2nd term, in additional to the regular textbook &wb, there are 2 supplymentary ex. and 2 PTH tx. & wb.
Personally I think the family also need to cooperate with the school to improve the Chinese capability of the kids.
A few points I want to highlight:
- Pinyin: this is the building block of Chinese Mandarin and is extremely important, just like English ABC..However I have a feeling that majority of the P.1 kids still can't manage well.
- The environment of speaking Mandarin: If I remember I read a report and it mentioned that in general, the TSL students are not active in answering questions in the Chinese class in Mandarin.. This is also because the fundamental is not strong enough.

So, my suggestion is that:
- the kids need to strength the Mandarin and Pinyin capability at the beginning. A few things are what I'm doing:
- have my son attending the good Pinyin class (even though we already lived in Beijing for 2 years)
- Look up the Chinese dictionary when we're not sure the pronounciation
- read books with pinyin (my son can read most of the words now)
- listen more, speak more Mandarin

I hope that with the School and the Family effort, a few years later, we can hear the comments that the TSL's students, both English and Chinese capabilities are excellent!

MumTang,

1. 教學方法係全活動教學定係集活動及傳統教學於一身
- It’s a mix of both.

2. 老師對學生係咪好有耐心同愛心
- Most teachers are patient and caring.

3. 學術成績同近年升中成績怎樣, 係咪真係得30 ...

I think the experienced parents may share more.

any parent has idea that what kind of secondary school pupils of Camoes went in the passed years?!

Flostangraphy,
I could understand your feeling and I felt the same 2 years ago.
Stay calm as you need to "survive" until probably end Nov. before you get the result of whether your kid can go into TSL.
We look forward to seeing you into this big family!

Lihung,
I have a collegue whose kid studies in DBS, P.2 same level as mine.
I talked to her frequently and sharing the status of the kids.
You're right that DBS teaches at least 1 level higher, especially Eng. and Maths. But TSL teaches at the same level as normal gov't school, maybe slightly higher for Eng.
However, my collegue have a lot of stress on teaching his son to keep up the pace with DBS.
Sometimes, I'm concern of TSL level is not high enough. But now when we are preparing for the tests, at least we are not so stressful. But you know it's still "vomit blood"  Then I think that it's better to be at the level rather than higher level, unless your kid is very very smart.

Flostangraphy,
Good luck. Look forward to hearing your good news.

2 years ago, there were no that kind of announcement and I checked at ~1:00a.m.

So, you may set your alarm clock to alarm every hour from 12:00 to 9:00a.m.
