朋友問:有沒有人收到陳守仁，後補位去面通知?

During the year, there may have some students migrate to other countries (according to their census, TSL's 70% students are holding other countries' passport - Canadian, American, Australian,
Pakiestanian, Indian, Taiwanese.....)
Just like my family - my boy is  TSL's P.1 student, I have chosen TSL for my boy because of its strong English background as well as good track record
carried down from Escola Camoes.  We are Canadian passport holders, sooner or later will go back there and settle down.   

Some students may transfer to Maryknoll,DGS,La Salle.  Specially with the new school of 男拔萃 absorbs
some students from TSL. (The existing principal of  男拔萃 - Mrs. Lo, who was the principal of TSL for the year of 2002-2003).  Do not forget TSL is a Direct Subsidiary School, parents who can afford a monthly tuition fee + ECA activities fee are mostly coming from mid-level.  Sometimes they will very
picky and selective - always search the "very best" for their kids.

後補位does happen at many private schools and direct subsidiary schools is quite normal.

WChan:

我鐘意TSL是因為這學校,凡事取中庸之道,英文程度高,老師無架子,能與學生打成一片,校工又好人!
還記得我四年前幫女兒到女拔排隊考插班生,看見部分老師和
校工對外來家長之"狗牙看人低"之態度,簡直令人氣憤!
我只覺得只要學校辦得好才是最重要,對所謂之超級名校,我已沒有了這份熱衷!
Sorry, back to TSL.  Certain ECA Activities are required, but no need to exaggerate.  Like my boy
he takes Violin, Kendo, drawing and Mandarin.
As my boy graduated from TSL Tam Au Yeung Siu Fong Memorial Kinder.  His English level was equal to
some traditional school students P.1 to P.2 standard.  It made him more easy to adampt to
the interview. (Of course, students came from
TSL group can get extra 10 marks at interview)
During the interview, teacher will ask the student if he/she would like to answer the question in English/Cantonese.  Sure, candidates have to answer
"English", as TSL is a English Primary School, if the candidate chooses "Chinese".  The points will be deducted.
Mandarin is also important, candidates have to speak
few sentences of mandarin.
Drawings - Teacher will ask candidates draw some pictures also.
As to "rofile", I attached my boy's ECA certificates,
past school reports, school awarded merit certificates...As my boy likes drawings very much.  I also attached some of his drawings inside the profile.

Fish :

My boy, in average, has about 5 pieces of homework per day.  Most of it he can finish it during the last session of "class period".  English standard at
TSL is probably equals to traditional school  P.2 or above standard.  As students have to write English Journal everyday. If he/she is capable in writing, they can write more than hundred words, if some students are weaker in English, they may write few sentences in the Journal.
At English syllabus, TSL does not have books of English.  The school prepares a lot of English handsout and encourage the kids to read story books as many as he/she can.
I do agree certain teachers are using "Chinese Accent
English". But, at least, their grammar knowledge is correct.  That, I think, is the most important issue.
Remember one thing ----we only have to pay around
$1,200 per month to get a "international school" environment for kids. Don't be picky and ask for
equal to $5,000's conditions.  做人很多時要睇"送"食飯,世事很難兩全其美!
Around 5/1 students are French students, some of
them are Indians.  I can tell you one thing is ----probably they come from mid-leven Indian families.  These students are well educated with politeness and decent manners.  Most of them are betten than
some local students at TSL.  I suggest you find time to wait outside the school, and take a look of the Indian students.
Students graduated at TSL can sit for HKCEE without
any problem.
Lastly, I would like to mention is competition at TSL is very keen.  They are using "curve' to mark up the students report.  Like my son, he gains 96 points at Maths and 94 points at General Studies, but his grades are B at Maths, and also B at General Studies.

The past few years, TSL is in preparation to build their own secondary school, but unfortunately was
banned by Gov't.  At present, it does not have
direct-link secondary school.

I hope the above can clear your quiries.

馬媽媽 :

In average, TSL has 5 to 6 projects to submit in a year.  They will give parents & students sufficient time
to prepare. No need to worry !

As for moral education & noisy..... ?  I am a working parent and surely do not have a full picture
to tell you. You may  browse TSL web-site or
go to school directly to observe what's the students'
attitude and behavior are.

Your own judgment is more important !
