Yeah, probably you're right...so it's around $400 a day...but you see, if I need to put them to swimming lesson, badminton lesson everyday, it could easily be $200 per day already! I really like day camps because then they can spend a long time there (really no body to look after them at home! we cannot depend on helpers....) and do whatever! Afterall there is sports and other activities so I still believe $400 a day is OK. I sent my boy to ESP sports camp last year and for one week, it was $4400. ...

$4400 for one week is very expensive. There are other holiday day school choices at around $1500-2000 per week. Check out ESF or ELC(HK).

回覆 #1 bjdadishe 的文章

Hi,

I agreed with you all that the school should arrange summer course or summer day camp to the students. Actually, PTA had urge the sport company to provide summer course or day camp to PKC student. However, when PTA received the first draft, they found the price is very expensive and the course design is not planned. Also, there is no any description on the qualification and experience of the Trainer who deliver the Art, Music and Dance. So PTA request the sport company to redesign, to reduce the price and to provide the qualification and experience of the Trainer who deliver the Art, Music and Dance. However, the sport company just reduce a little bit on price and a little bit change on the course design but can not provide the qualification and experience of the Trainer who deliver the Art, Music and Dance. So PTA decided not to support and not recomment our student to attend.

綜合看來, 家長們提過英語.游泳.羽毛球.圍棋.話劇 , 這類暑期班可能較受歡迎.

費用不必比坊間同類活動便宜, 但不能比他們貴, 考慮到交通問題, 校車仍是最有需要的配合.

其實校長說過, 學校已有足夠的 "課內"活動, 所以不希望家長安排太多課外活動給小朋友. 另外, 很多學校的課外活動都要付款的. 除非那些被老師選定的比賽戓表演項目．　我已習慣了.

失望我就沒有失望, 學校硬件確是比很多其他學校都好, 記得自己讀書的時候, 課外活動如棋藝, 球類, 辯論, 體操, 很多雖說有老師負責, 但老師並不在行, 也不一定在場.

如今外判出去, 雖是要錢, 但活動的素質就我所見還算不錯.

...

你說的都是事實, 但如果有些課外活動的安全性要求不高, 而旨在讓學生參與, 並不乎於把素質提高至專業水平, 學校或家教會也不妨考慮安排一些免費的課外活動, 如棋藝, 乒乓球, ... 如技術性較高的, 也可考慮由高年級學生或義工家長幫幫手.

這也不失為體管公司提供範疇外的另一種選擇.

父母如要孩子在體藝各方面得到較專業的訓練, 付鈔一般來說也是願意的.

It appears to be a little bit too late to discuss Summer activities.

暑期活動是太遲了, 但課外活動則什麼時候開始都可以, 我也認為多些英語及體育活動較好.

也不妨多元化地向學生提供, 有校車更好.

Yeah, in fact because of school bus arrangement we just CANNOT participate in any afterschool activities as school bus does not take the students to the normal drop off places, but only to Tai Wai or City Hall so my helper will have to take my other kid to pick up my kid if he participates...so have to give up!

如棋藝, 乒乓球, 還有tennis 呢, 學校有tennis court 的, 唱歌, 科學實驗咁!!!

或者種下花(e + 學校有, 但只係好少數同學仔有得參加)

我仍然覺得很不足law

是否普通話&英語要講得好...才有機會取錄呢????

普通話&英語要講得好的學生全港也沒有幾個, 但普通話&英語都聽不懂就影響機會.

話說回來, 誰知今年怎樣面試收生取錄呢????

ENGLISH SPEAKING Group

I remember decades ago in University there was an English Speaking Group.  A group of 10 or 12 students were sitting together in a circle to talk about some common and easy topics, like favorite ball games or food etc.  There was a foreigner tutor sitting with them.  He did not actively participate in the talk.  When there was dead air, he used his body language or simple questions like "What do you think, Jenny?" to start up the discussion again.

It was not so much about teaching pronounciation or skills in speaking English.  It was designed to help students to speak up in an unfamiliar foreign language.  Once they get through that psychological hurdle, they can speak freely in English, rightly or wrongly, broken sentence or not.

I think the exercise for about 10 sessions each for 1.5 hours could build up confidence of kids.  Once confidence to speak is there, other learning paths like reading and listening more are relatively easy.

PTA may consider this for PKC student activities, if parents support.

It was just a suggestion.

You are right.

My observation is that kids in primary school are more comfortable speaking English when given the environment. When they are in their teens, they will be more concerned about their appearance, the way they speak, possibility of mistakes, chance of being laughed at ...

If they don't keep speaking a lot all the way, there is a chance of their getting shy on the way of growing up.
