York or St. Nicholas?

wongting

Hi,

if you have offers only from York and St. Nicholas, which one will you choose?

Please advise.  I am still struggling between these two.

Does anyone know if the students from York can go to good primary schools?  How about those from St. Nicholas?

also, which school offers better English teaching?

我姪兒考到九龍塘小學, 但佢差多係8月份自己敲門入, 我自己覺得呢間學校比較商業化。

wongting,

If I were u, I would choose St. Nicholas because it has a small class structure.  The teacher said there won't be more than 18 pupils in each class.  For each class, there are two teachers.  During English and Mandarin session, there will be one more native English teacher and one more Madarin teacher respectively.  The session will last for about one hour.  But I forgot how many Mandarin sessions there are each week.  

Actually, you can ask the teacher (As far as I can remember, it should be Ms Fung.  She is so nice and patient) when you register.  If you've registered already, you can always call and ask.  Don't ask the admin staff, ask the teacher.  The admin staff may not be familiar with the details.

I like this school too, but the campus is a bit old.  So I consider other schools.

sounds good, but how does it compare with York?

twins_daddy,

Though York also accepted my girl, but I won't consider.  There's so much controversy about this school and it had an over-enrollment record.  It was reported on the newspaper some years before and a parent posted it here.  But I forgot the link.

憑良心講 , 雖然間學校好似好商業咁 , 但係佢又真係教到好多嘢比小朋友 , 最緊要係小朋友讀得好開心 , 仲有品德好 , 有禮貌就得啦 !
( 好多國際學校都咁商業 , 又唔見你哋話commercial )

你地所指的 St. Nicholas
是否指 九龍金巴倫道５７號 果一間  ?

我個女依家係 York 讀緊 K2 , 老實講佢學嘢好好 , 又聽話咗 , 最緊要係佢好鍾意返學 , 因為佢話老師好好 ,所以返學好開心 , 我諗小朋友係最直接嘅 , 至於多雜費 , 其實學校真係有好多課外活動 , 如果你唔參與 , 根本唔駛比 , 所有嘢都係用番喺你自己嘅小朋友身上 ,所以我並唔覺得 York 好商業。( 請記住 , 小朋友所學到嘅嘢及開心嘅童年係屬於佢自己嘅 , 無人可以拎走 , 咁你話值唔值 ???)
