flostangraphy,

My son is also accepted for 2009 P1.  According to the vice principal, P1 & P2 students will need to study all 3 languages, one in each of the school terms.  The purpose is for the kids to get a taste of all the 3 languages.  By P3, students will have to choose one language to study in the coming 10 years (P3 - S6).

Chinese is taught in Mandarin.

Hi bblaw,

Most probably..  

To be honest, DBS is my dream school but chance is small.  So 99% I will go to SMC.  I quite like the school.

How about you?  Have you made up your mind?

I brought my son to a fast food shop yesterday where he played with a German/Chinese boy.  We then found out that he studies at St Margaret's.  He doesn't speak cantonese but when I asked him if he can speak chinese, he answered in Mandarin.  He's in P2 and he said he likes his school and all the extra-curricular activities.

My son is happy to meet the boy.
