Hi all,
my kid attended the 2nd interview last friday morning for Year 2 and i am so glad that i received a call from RC this morning for the offer. The lady from admission office said acceptance letter will arrive within 2 days.

Just wonder to know how many places do they offer to each grade (other than Year 1) cos i see the long list of interviewees on both days. Would all applicants in 2nd interviews gurantee an offer ?

Thanks God and hope you all will receive "good news" soon !

Can any of RC mum/dad share the school life of your kid. My son currently study in a local traditional school, what I have to prepare for him before he join RC. Also, how
yours assist your kid in his homework/project.

Thanks

Hi,

You don't need to "accompany the prince to read" every night like the dads and moms of children enrolling in a local school.

I cannot say for other grade as my girl is only attending G1. There is no homework at all at the beginning of the semester but we know that they had done a lot during class.

Starting from this semester more homework is given out but not everyday and they are easy to accomplish.

There will be one or two project for each unit during the semesters. The curriculum is divided into units eg the current unit is "living things and non-living things". Usually at the end of each unit students are required to complete a project on their own. (Parents are requested not to getting too involved in the work).

One of the things that I appreciate ESF is their success in nurturing a reading habit among the students. My girl is given a book every week and the level has been rising steadily. She loves to read book and we are very pleased to see her progress in developing the habit of reading. Besides, students are required to borrow a book from the liberary every week. They can choose whatever book they like.

The above is my experience perhaps other parents can share theirs.

Cheers

Wingba,
Does your daughter take extra English, Chinese or Maths class after school? I have no objection to taking extra Chinese classes but was a bit surprised to know that some parents are sending IS kids (year 1) to extra English and Maths classes. Is this common in RC and do you think it's necessary?

jjd,

I learned that some of my girl's classmates do attend tutorial classes (English, Chinese, music, dance etc.) after school.

To me, English tutorial is not necessary while Chinese could be a supplement to normal class. I am also planning to enrol my girl to a Chinese tutorial class.

My reason of putting my girl in RC is to avoid rushing for after school tutorials and I only ask her to attend one music and one drawing class after school in a week.

Perhaps Chinese parents ( I am also an ethnic Chinese) just cannot escape the curse of "more homework/activities breed brighter kids".

I just want my kid to have a happy student life although I won't let her fool around after school. Pressing for too much "achievements" on small children just not good.

Cheers,

Wingba

jjd,
I think we need to rethink what we want from our children and what kind of childhood life we want them to have.
We want them to learn, but at the same time be happy, right?
If we are stuffing their free time with all kinds of classes, we are in fact extending the school hours. Tired children seldom have quality sleep at night and the next day they would not be able to focus in class. Would too "full" a timetable or day give a negative effect to the learning or focusing ability at school?
If your child is really weak in a particular area and really need extra help (eg extra after school tutoring), I am sure your child's teacher will tell you. Until then, just relax.
We are parents of our children but when it comes to learning, I think teachers probably know the children better. But until the teacher points out that a child really need extra help, I think he is probably doing fine.
There is no need to follow what others are doing.
PS. I agree that many children would benefit if they are attending extra Chinese classes though.
