我聽過有人去考傳統幼稚園, 廣東話教學既, 小朋友講英文, 老師跟住同家長講: 我地呢度係中文幼稚園wor咁lor

我有朋友係聖心舊生+教徒, 佢囡囡in果陣乜都做晒, 但全英文, 乜都要媽咪translate, 最後無收.

I also heard that most of the traditional school expect kids answer question in Cantonese.

My friend's kid responded to the teacher in English during the interview; after the interview, the teacher asked the mammy " Can your kid speak Cantonese?" Perhaps the teacher will deduct some marks la.

This is also my case. Since I speak to my girl in English since she was borned, thus she tends to speak English whenever she see someone. She responded to the teacher in English during her interview at St. Sum, teacher keeps asking her, "what is it in Cantonese?" I think teacher has secretly put a "X" in her application form... at the end, she got rejected by St. Sum.

我相信係啦...除非係去d比較國際化的幼稚園會比較重視英文啫....就連st. paul co-edu 都會自己學校十分重視母語...所以..真係唔係太緊張英文的...因為小學時..中文難過英文好多

我個b去in聖心時，老師問問題後，是由我翻譯英文俾佢聽(翻譯前我問過老師可否由我用英文轉述問題，老師話「可以！」)，阿b 100%是用英語答問題，其間，有幾條問題老師都係用英文問阿b tim, 最後聖心都收了她，所以我覺得用英文答問題是不會扣分的。

只是本人淺見..

我認為學校要求小朋友會說&明白廣東話也是理所當然的, 因為小朋友要群體學習, 語言絕對是最基本的溝通方法, 他/她不明白老師/同學的說話, 對學習&與別人的相處可能會引起障礙..

First of all, I can't be very sure should SHCK be categorized as a traditional kindergarten.  So whether it is a good example, this I have no comments.

Anyhow, for the case of SHCK, there are definitely children who speaks majority English (meaning can't communicate in Cantonese), got accepted last year, and as they attend the kindergarten, be able to communicate with other children in Cantonese.  They certainly will be slower in the first few months as they need time to adjust, but they will soon make such adjustment to it and be able to mix well with the children.

They are looking for kids understand Cantonese no matter their answers or replies are in Cantonese or English.

I have a friend whose daughter seems didn't understand Cantonese and was rejected by SPK last year.

I have a friend who has to translate all the question from Cantonese to English and her daughter was rejected by SH.

It is the kid's interview not the parents, those parents who 'translate' or give helping hand to their kids ruin their kid's interview.

My daughter, answering all question in English but she SEEMS understand Cantonese, was accepted by SH this year!

Now I'm very worried.  My girls only speak English and probably comprehend Cantonese about 5-10%.  GCCC1231 and Charmykitty, how did your girls manage to speak English only but understand Cantonese so well?  How did you prepare them?  I have less than 1 yr to train them up.  They'll be going to nursery in Aug/Sept.      Thank you.

No ah.... :(  They need to go to Nursery this year first because they are "big girl" in 2008.  But I would like them to go to SH in 2011.  Any tips to prepare them?  (we tried to speak Cantonese with them but they ignored us)....arrrrrggggghhhh

Hi Wootaitai, is your daughter a 08 bb or 07bb?  My girls already attend a English/ Cantonese playgroup but somehow, I don't think they actually understand Cantonese.  The helpers told me sometimes, the teacher gives up and speak to them in English!!!!  Aiya.....

yes ar.... so actually 3rd possible choice for next year is to promote to K1 at Wisely if there is space... so many moving parts!

Is it the Wisely on Caine Rd?  Is it a good school?
How old does the kid need to be to enter the school?  Thanks
