the school is a smaller school but good.  The children are also very bilingual.

lottieclee &Aprmum,tks for your info. i've heard from one mum that it's a good school but most of the students are from rich families... i'm just worried if my kid goes to this school, he will feel inferior to others....

Aprmum

Actually we are not a rich family but we tried our best to provide the education we desired for our child.

I guess the comment of "rich family" based on the school fee- 8xxx per month plus 12000 annual capital levy.

What the school need most is the involvement of the parents. It is a community school which has lots of activities requires the parents to participate e.g. the picnic lunch and movie night. It also serves as the base of the communication between the school and the parents.

I think the "rich family" image is there only because Hong Lok Yuen residents have priority in application.  Many family I know who send their children there are a little better than middle class, not rich.

I only attended the primary interview but I guess the patten is more or less the same.

The child will be taken by a teacher for assessment. They will observe the child language ability in English by asking them to draw a picture or construct sth by Lego. While the parent will stay in the room for the I terview with the

While the parent will stay in the room for the Interview with the parents. They will go though the information listed in the application, your background and your job. In a word, they want to have a better understanding on u n ensure your English ability which is capable to communicate with the school if your child is a enrolled.

Before the end of the interview, the principal will show u around the campus n time for Q and A.

Last time, my interview last for 45min. Around one or two wks time, they will notify u the result.

Hi Jeanmom, have you enrolled Nursery for your kid in Hong Lok Yuen?

Jeanmom

Not yet. We have several schools in mind and plan to visit each school in Dec when we are back for vacation. I have heard good things about HLY, both from this board and expat parents. Yet, I still want to visit the school and confirm that myself. The tuition is also another concern. It's kind of on the expensive side (at least to my standard). I have a younger son whom I want to enroll in the same school as my daughter's in the future. With 2 kids in an international school, tuition adds up quickly.

How about you? Are you planning to enroll your kid there?
