Thanks bj family.  I've just enrolled for their headstart programme and wonder what will be the chance in getting in?

算吧啦. 我有識人係入面教. 如果唔係貴族真係唔好諗. 佢地小學可以入到ST PAUL / DGS......ETC. 都係因為父母有$$$買個位返黎JE. 香港有咁多好幼稚園, 你地睇下其他啦.

I am interested to enroll the Head start programme, how much is it for the 3 months programme ?

As a parent,
I would rather hear something fair to my baby,
something like the baby's performance is up to standard, only the parents' background are not strong enough...
then to hear something "sounds" fair but in fact unfair

I totally agree with donutbaby.
My baby and I also attended the Headstart program. My baby can sit properly and listen to the whole story and he is also quite independent.
However, he is not been accepted. The interviewers said he is still not mature enough. Their comments are really unfair.

donutbaby

The difference is a very small percentage.  I think those who got in thinks it's a fair game, those who didn't (like me), thinks it's not.  

Regardless, am sure there are lots of advantages to this school.  So good luck to everyone.

I think they also defer the starting date of the "small girls and boys" so if your kids are not "big kids" then you may actually hear from them later.  Good luck!

I know that most of the siblings accepted in the first round have already registered.  The marginal ones are going through second round interviews right now.

Hi tumtum,

Do you know if this year result is out yet?  Many thanks

tumtum

I think this year they have 84 places in total and 48 siblings applied.  On top of that, there are also kids of aumni etc.  Most schools will give priority to these people and so it is actually quite difficult to get in.  Performance in Headstart does make a difference as I know there were at least 2 to 3 siblings who did not get accepted because they did not do well in Headstart.

dear donutbaby,
i feel so sorry to hear your experience in BH,
it's very good that you can see clearly about the culture of the school,
and you don't need to waste your baby's time on it anymore,
goo ...

Thanks for your support yaulinda.  I have applied to a few other schools too and am now waiting for their results.  I don't think BHNS is the only way out so I'm still optimistic!

The children didn't choose to go there, only their parents do all the planning for them.

We can only say the school still look for one's ability in the admission process, however look at the wrong ones - the parents instead of the kids themselves.   

If we have hesitation about this school, just don't apply it, that's all.

poor children - they have to face the cold reality even before they realize it.

every school has their own rules of the game... and some famous traditional kinder sound to be fair but in fact everything is based on your connections and the background of the parents....

let's face it, the real world is COLD too.

just to be fair, i think the school's curriculum should be good.  otherwise how can kids cope with the high demands of SPCC and DGS for those who are accepted.  that was one of the reason why i wanted my kid to study there.  however, i was disgusted with their admission process.  it was not based on headstart's performance but rather by the parents' background/connections.  i guess, maybe in reality, connections are so much more important than ability.

the 2 teachers at the headstart program were very nice and patient.  i do want to give them big credits.  however, the program coordinator, who is here every class to give so-called 'advice' and 'techniques' in handling crying toddlers, was only interested in mingling/chitchatting with the parents who already have older kids attending BHNS.  i can't speak for others but at least for me, i never felt i was treated with the same attitude since the beginning.

The reason for wanting to send kids to 寶山幼稚園 is more to do with the fact that they have the best admission record for St Paul Coed (~60% of their kids get in every year).
However, most parents who manage to send kids there probably have their own connections.
Therefore how much credit the school can claim is open to debate!

so, we should seriously think:

Is it a real good school or

we want so much to send our children to the kinder in order to bloat our ego or to fill our vanity gap....
