My child is a P4 student in TSL. She loves this school very much. She enjoys going to school too. Teachers are also very patience and always try their best to teach their students. My daughter loves to talk to her teachers and play with her classmates. Her English improves a lot. I am very happy that my child studies in this school. Hope your children can join our school in the future.

dear angelprincess,
nice to meet you!
it good to get information from parent of pupils!
thank you very much!

i have learn that TLS has more or less 2500 applications this year....

i'm quite surprise for such many of applicants!

is it always so lot of applicants?! did you applied other school for your princess that year?!

to be honest, as my wife doesn't read any chinese, that's why we are looking for a english primary school for our son, and Camoes came up by someone's suggestion and then after we have visited the school and met pupils there, we like it very much and French is absolutely a plus for us. but we didn't know that there is such big competition to go in that school....

作者: flostangraphy 時間: 08-11-6 11:01 標題: similar primary school

i would like to ask if any parent know one or 2 similar english primary schools like Camoes TSL?!
i would be more than happy to have some suggestion!
thanks in advance!

ps: we can't afford and wouldn't really want our kid go to private international school.

作者: angelprincess 時間: 08-11-6 13:43

Dear Flostangraphy,

Nice to meet you too! The no. of applications for that year is around 1300 only, but it was four years ago. So I think it's reasonable to have 2500 applications this year because it's really a nice school.
Don't worry! I'll share my experience with you & all parents.

作者: flostangraphy 時間: 08-11-6 17:58

thanks a lot angelpriness for willing to share your precious experience!
may i ask if you have applied other school for back up that year?!
any suggestion for me as well?!

Flostangraphy,

Can you read Chinese? You may go to "小一選校" to collect more information for your son's next year primary one application.

You can see the competition for P1 admission this year is so keen that it is completely disadvantage for your son apply to be a Chinese stream student in next year. My sister in law's son just failed the interview. Her family background is very similar as yours. She regrets that she didn't apply her son as French stream student. So I advice you try French stream application next year, may be the successful chance will be a little big higher.

作者: angelprincess 時間: 08-11-7 12:26

Yes. Agreed with Tingmum. Better to apply as French stream student as I think your family usually speak English or French at home, right? As the 2nd language of French stream is French, so I think it's much suitable for your child.

作者: flostangraphy 時間: 08-11-7 12:26

dear tingmum,
thanks a lot for your advise!
i'm totally agree. we do think of this strategy for the application. that's we are so interested in camoes school as well which has a french stream
and that's what i would like to get more information about that as well.
if i understand well, there is different interview for chinese stream applicants and french stream applicants?!

Dear flostangraphy

I suggest you should not only apply TSL for your son, it is really a high risk. 2009/2010 P1 application is over 2500 and there is only 25% will grant 2nd interview. Even you are invited for 2nd interview, the acceptance for P1 is again only 25% of the shortlisted applicants. Here are some of the BK information I would like to share with you:

據我自己做的分析, 所有第一輪面試名單中共有2,533人
法文組:............262人
中文組:.........2,271人

法文組:............262人
擬似中國人姓氏:154人
擬似非華人姓氏:108人
假設收生額175人, 而華藉與非華籍最多是7比3, 那麼,最多收生比例是:
華籍:123 / 非華籍:52

在第二輪面試名單中共有.............625人
粗略估計:
中國人姓氏:566
擬似非中國人姓氏:59

Although you are appling for French, school may call you and seeks if you would like to change to Chinese stream, so, I think the compeition is also very keen.

Look at those "DSS" schools, I think most of them are using Enlgish as 1st teaching languages.

In addition, I would like to encourage you sons should study more in Chinese as we are living in HK and China is becoming a strong country, Chinese cannot be ignored for child's education.

作者: flostangraphy 時間: 08-11-7 13:31

dear hj6153,
thanks a lot for sharing your analyze!
you are right, i think chinese is absolutely a must for our kids! considering the global situation and their family background (finally all chinese, french and english are must for them... my wife will hit my head if i write only chinese is a must...).
that's part of reason we wouldn't really consider the lycee francais.
diocesan is a good school to consider as well! if i'm right, they have french lesson from P3....
but there are 2 diocesan primary, i heard that 1 is eng. primary and the other 1 is chinese primary.
do you know which one?! is that the preparatory school is english primary?! but don't you think diocesan school is very very demanding as well?!

Dear Florstangraphy,

Just for your information. For the French stream, students can choose Chinese as the 3rd language, therefore, your children can also learn Chinese as well. But you must be noted that Chinese as the 3rd language, means the level of Chinese may be lower than that of the Chinese stream.

作者: kaifu 時間: 08-11-7 14:02

flostangraphy,
you may want to think about what kind of secondary schools you want your sons to go to. Do you intend to stay in HK for long? As far as I knowTSL is a local school and most of their graduates go to local secondary schools. There may not be many local secondary schools offering French as a major language subject. Honestly, French may not be considered very useful and popular in HK (hope you don't mind and I could be wrong), and there may not be many qualified teachers here. But if you want to send your kids to France or elsewhere for secondary education, that's a different story.

it's really a long time to go....
i prefer try to focus on a good primary school which he will be happy for 6 years... (hopefully 6...

) and let him define as what he want to be. then i will have more data about which secondary school would be better for him.
for the moment, i don't think limited the choice by selecting depends on the secondary school is a good way for him. too much data is going to change during these 6 years.

as for the 2nd part of thinking.
french background is important to our children but we also understand the geographic status. we think our children my at least finished secondary school in hong kong. possibly go to where else they want to for their high level studies depends on what they want and their abilities!
actually there are around 7000 french people registered at french consulate and more than 200 french hold companies at hong kong.
around 115 million people speak as 1st or 2nd language on earth.
in europe, other than la france, belgium, switzerland, luxembourg and monaco speak french.
french is mostly a second language in africa, like tunisia, morocco, algeria... to name some of them.
about 7 million canadians are native french speakers, who are mainly live in quebec.
as in asia, you can alos find french speakers very often in vietnam, myanmar, singapore more and more, india as well. French is an administrative language in laos and cambodia.
french is a 2nd official language in some area of oceania.

you see, french is actually everywhere!!
to be honest, when we talk in french with my wife in the mtr, we always afraid someone would understand us.....

Yes Fr is a beautiful language - the sounds are tre bien.

I asked my kid to take Basic Fr (i.e. Fr as 3rd language) instead of Jap, and if and when I take him to Europe I will have a guide !

作者: kaifu 時間: 08-11-7 23:18

I think your kids' family background is quite unique and definitely more global.  Given this kind of background, I guess schools like TSL or SMC are likely to rate their candidacy highly.  And they also speak fluent French, I am not sure if the French stream students can do that when they started at P1 in TSL or SMC.
I was just offering my views from a local perspective.  For our kids, whether we like it or not, learning Chinese is almost a must here. The reason I mentioned about secondary schools to you is that if you do intend to have your kids go to local secondary schools, you really should plan carefully for their primary education.  This is particularly important if they go to a school like TSL which does not have a secondary section.  There are probably a few good local schools providing French as one of the major language subjects.  In order to get into those fine schools kids need to perform very well academically plus achievements in extracurricular activities.  For most above-aveage and average-performing students, they will be allocated by the government to different local schools based on their primary school results.  Most local secondary schools offer Chinese and English as the mandatory language subjects.  If your kids happen to be allocated to those schools, their chinese language training at TSL may not be enough for them to catch up with the regular chinese curriculum.  It may be too late if you realize abou this a few years later.  Certainly you can always send them to international schools to avoid this problem.
Please don't get me wrong.  I was not trying to look down on the status of the French language, but there are really not many well-qualified French teachers in local schools. Hey perhaps you and your wife should apply for teaching positions in French there!
If you like to talk more about these issues you may leave me your email address in my private message box at babykingdom.

Hey, Florstangraphy,

Don't be so worry! You still have time to consider your children's primary school. May be I can drop down a note and ask my daughter to pass it to her French classmates to see if their parents can give some comments to you about your concerns. I'll inform you once I received any feedback.

I had French lesson tonight, it's really tres difficile, but I'll try my best.

I had went to Quebec 2 years ago, most of the people speaks French, it's a beautiful place, hope I can go there again and speak French with the people there.

hello kaifu,
please don't get my reply wrong, i didn't feel offended by your post. and i'm glad that i could have vary different opinions and advise from different point of view!
i'm happy i can actually meet parents here and share experiences and know-how about education.
thanks again for your contribution!

secondary school is a bit fuzzy for me at thin moment, but i think you are right that i may have to look a little about the banding as well.
do you have the banding list of secondary schools in hong kong?!
we are most likely want our son go to an english secondary school as well.

it's funny because camoes already asked my wife about french native teacher on the opening day.
but my wife is already a full time employee, and to be honest, i hardly see her as a teacher....

however, we go to the french catholic community once a while, if we noticed friends of ours are interested, we will forward the contact.
please check PM.

kaifu, really nice to meet you!
see you later!

Hi there, may I also share my experience with you.

I think your kids should apply for Non-Chinese students since they already speaks French. The Chinese standard of NCS in TSL is similar to other int'l schools, of cos you cannot compare with normal school but if language is mainly for communication, you dun really need your kids could write Chinese poem........

Self-confident is the key for interview in TSL, so tell your kids to be proud of himself/herself and good luck.

作者: flostangraphy 時間: 08-11-18 13:27

hello daddy cool!
you are also father of kid in TSL?!
thanks a lot for your advise!
we are going to visit Diosecan in January and Camoes in May 2009 to know more about french stream schools.
hope that Camill will have chance go into a school which he will be happy.

thanks again for sharing your advise!!!!

作者: DaddyCool 時間: 08-11-19 10:38

Bonjour! Yes, my daughter is studying in TSL since last year as Non-Chinese student as we were moving back from Australia.

Diosecan is a much reputated school with very strong academic background, me myself would be too happy if my kid could get into this school, but definately my duaghter will feel opposite cos Camoes is a much happier school.

作者: flostangraphy 時間: 08-11-19 13:54

Bonjour papacool,
nice to chat with you!
i do agree with you, i have called both camoes and diocesan schools for information about the school open day.... and i have to say that i got 2 completely different attitude....
the person from camoes was very friendly and servable! she has answered as much as she knows and ask me to leave my phone number if she get more infos, will call me back.
i was thinking that she was just polite to ask so... and 2 months or 3 months after, she really called back and let me know the updated open day date!!
i was impressed!!
at the end, we missed the open day of diocesan and only go to camoes one.
my wife sure appreciated to talk with the french teacher.
the feeling we have was very positive. we know that diocesan has more than 1 french native teachers, that's very good for a good accent.
the teacher we have talked with in camoes does have an asian french accent ( i do myself, even though i speak french everyday...) but we also saw that the teachers were very close to the pupils and pupils were happy with the teacher, pupils were also brave and confident to speak in french!! that is a very good point! and their writing were good.

國際校學生轉津校重讀
經濟差未雨綢繆年省9萬學費

【明報專訊】2009年度小一自行分配學位昨日放榜，約半數學生獲派心儀小學。金融海嘯陰霾下，有家長為經濟環境惡化未雨綢繆，放棄女兒9萬元學費的國際學校小一學籍，轉報本地學費全免的傳統官津名校重讀小一，當獲知女兒獲取錄後，「開心過中六合彩」。另有家長考慮到國際學校學費高昂，不讓兒子由國際學校幼稚園直升小學，改報官津小學。

小一自行收生半數學生獲派位

4萬多名參加自行派位的準小一學生昨日獲知自行分配學位結果，不少家長昨早8時許紛紛到報讀的學校查看結果。商人張先生看到女兒名字在瑪利諾修院學校(小學部)的取錄名冊上，興奮得跳起來，「好開心，開心到跳起，開心過中六合彩！」張先生的女兒正就讀京斯敦國際學校小一，每年學費9萬元，雖然金融海嘯影響「未殺到埋身」，但他覺得官津學校免學費，而且雜費開支遠遠低於國際學校，加上太太是瑪利諾修院學校的校友，決定博一博替女兒報考。

小班教學明年正式推行，名校學額因而大減。張先生說，雖然太太是校友，女兒本理應有足夠分數獲取錄，但始終擔心學額減少而影響取錄機會，「申請人夠分或同分便需要抽籤」。

他於放榜前一晚擔心得整晚失眠，知道女兒獲取錄後鬆一口氣，回家與太太和女兒慶祝。

憂難銜接港教育制度

共有90個自行分配小一學額的喇沙小學，今年收到806份申請表，平均約9個人爭一個學額。昨早未到9時已在學校門口查看派位結果的羅太，得知兒子未獲取錄後不感失望，她說報考喇沙純粹「博一博」，兒子已獲直資的英華小學取錄。

經濟環境未見明朗，羅太已早作打算，兒子於耀中幼稚園就讀，但羅太無意安排他升讀國際學校小學，她坦言每年學費10萬多元，十分昂貴。

羅太續說，國際學校的教育制度無法銜接本地教育制度，萬一經濟轉差，可能負擔不起昂貴的國際學校學費，恐會影響兒子的升學前途，經考慮後決定安排兒子入讀學費每年萬多元的英華小學。

成功獲得自行分配學位的學生家長，須於11月26或27日於獲派小學的辦公時間前往辦理註冊手續。而未獲自行分配學位的家長，須於1月17或18日前往指定的統一派位中心，為子女辦理選校手續，接受統一派位。

作者: flostangraphy 時間: 08-11-25 13:31 標題: 愛女考入名津小家長喜若狂

(星島日報報道)小一自行分配學位昨公布結果，金融海嘯下，部分年花約十萬元供子女入讀國際幼稚園的中產家長，擔心經濟困難會影響生計，寧放棄讓子女升讀名牌國際學校的機會，轉報津貼小學或學費較廉宜的直資小學。有從事生意的家長昨得悉女兒成功獲名津小取錄後歡喜若狂，笑言可節省一大筆學費，為步向低迷的生意幫一把。

　　今年四萬二千多名參加小一自行收生程序的學生，約兩萬多人成功獲派學位，成功率僅為四成九，創下七年來的新低。九龍城區名校喇沙小學由昨早八時起，陸續有家長前往觀看結果，經商的家長羅太的小兒子未獲取錄，「跨區都只是博彩，明知成功入讀的機會不大，所以已為兒子報讀兩所直資小學」。

其子就讀耀中國際幼稚園，每年學費高達十萬元之多，她坦言，隨近日發生金融海嘯，生意上亦有危機感，故她決定居安思危，讓兒子入讀學費較廉的直資學校，而不升讀耀中（小學部）。

同區另一所名校瑪利諾修院學校（小學部），下學年因每班人數由三十五降至三十人，小一學額大減廿五個，競爭加劇。從事漂牙機生意的張先生，得悉女兒獲取錄立即興奮得跳躍起來，並高呼：「好開心，開心到震！」其就讀九龍塘京斯敦國際幼稚園的女兒，原可升讀該校的小學部，但全年學費高達九萬元，令他因而卻步。他說：「金融海嘯對生意會有影響，現時（入讀津校）可以慳回一筆錢。」雖然該校沒有推行小班教學，但張先生表示不介意，認為女兒能入讀心儀的名校便可。

　　下學年全港近三百所小學將推行小班教學，令學額減少，包括地區名校中華基督教會基法小學（油塘）。陳太對孖女均只獲候補感到不滿，慨歎年前特地安排她們入讀基法幼稚園，更在第一天提交申請表格。她擔心兩名女兒會被拆散到不同學校，認為是小班影響入讀機會。她眼泛淚光說：「現在也不知要做甚麼。」

　　油尖旺區雖不用推小班，但名校油麻地天主教小學及油麻地天主教小學（海泓道），今年仍被「世襲位」佔去大多數學額，不少申請者均失望而回。其中油天小的「世襲位」共有五十二個，較去年增加近一成；而油天小（海泓道）則共有四十六個，比去年增加一個，兩校分別只有三十個學額取錄非世襲生。

　　油天小（海泓道）校長張志鴻更表示，由於今年自行派位多收了一名學生，所以在中央派位時會減少一個學額至七十四個。

是的, 我女兒是以 non-chinese 考入 TSL, 原因是當時我認為如果用 chinese student 身份考, 佢應該考唔入, 因為中文一定會好差(我們從外國回來, 她是插班生, 故中文會比同級差好遠), non-chinese 入學試唔需要考中文的.

由於是 non-chinese 關係, 佢要讀法文, 第一年(去年)插班三年級, 等於她會比同班同學少了兩年的基礎(我們又幫不了), 故此給她報了佐敦的法國文化協會的課程, 但整整一年下來進展不大, 可能因為一班有大約 20 人的關係, 每星期1.5小時實在幫不了多少, 好彩後來有人介紹一間補習社, 最多都係兩個學生一班, 故此近來看得到有進步, 起碼剛剛十月份測驗同平時默書都有80分左右(去年不合格), 連學校老師都話佢有進步.

有朋友問點解唔俾個女學中文, 其實我同學校商量過, 老師認為如果小女讀法文冇問題, 何必一定要轉, 免得中文追不上就兩頭唔到岸; 我亦都有同樣的想法, 反正我心目中九成九日後都係俾佢去外國讀大學, 故此中文水平比一般同級學生差都沒有什麼大問題.

佢現在很喜歡法文, 有時間都會時不時在網上學, 又成日要我同佢一齊溫書(其實想教我), 我跟佢學由 1-10 成年都搞唔掂, 年紀大, 冇計...........

總之一句講哂, 希望你可以搵到一間你們及子女都喜歡的學校, 我兩公婆及女兒都很喜歡TSL; 去年小女考到三間, 始終覺得入呢間冇錯!

我都覺得我最叻嘅就係幫個女選擇咗呢間學校, 因為佢真係好鍾意呢間學校, 無論老師同同學, 佢都咁鍾意。我地做家長嘅都感受到佢地開心嘅心情, 其實我都好鍾意呢間學校, 因為我都見到我個女喺呢四年裏面進步咗好多, 無論係待人處事方面, 又或者學業成績方面, 都有明顯嘅進步。真係好多謝呢間學校同埋佢地嘅老師；亦都多謝佢地比一個咁愉快嘅學習環境比啲學生。

DaddyCool,

你的決定好岩, 如你夾硬要個女做chinese student, 換回來的是: 小朋友對中文科很有錯敗感. 與其咁, 你比佢開開心心做一個non-chinese student更好!

dear angelprincess, tingmum and daddy cool,
thanks a lot for you input!
me and my wife also feel the same way after we have visited camoes' open day.
knowing that your kids are learning french as well, i have talked with angelprincess before about making a pool of french videos we got at home, to exchange some english or chinese books or cartoons of yours for our sons.

i have selected some already... (sorry, i did take some time as i have got a bit stress and busy at work recently...)

but i will keep scan the french films we have to share with you. however, i have think that it may have a problem as our sons are still much younger than yours... so the type of film may not be very interesting for you....
anyway, i try to tell you what we have and you tell me which one you interested in.

《Le Papillon》《蝴蝶》,

http://www.lib.nthu.edu.tw/libra ... /intro/VR026338.htm

this is a very beautiful film, my wife cries every time she watch this one.

we have the one in zone 2 from france, so no translation. but there is no much conversation and all the dialogues are actually very simple and using basic and simple words so good for children and french beginners!

i suggest you all listen the song of this film!! it's really pretty song and a lot of simple vocabulary.

http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=v5rxPlOmyD0&feature=related

i have found a translation of the song. hope you enjoy it!

flostangraphy,

Thanks for your sharing of the film.

Although I do not know French at all, this film seems to be rather interesting by listening to the song and also the short introduction of the film on Youtube.

It seems that I have heard about the melody of this song somewhere before.

And I like the shooting of the cameraman, too.

Please continue to share more about the French culture with us.

We will count on you as our French tutor!!

dear all parents,

i have recently got some PMs from parents who are interested have french lessons for their children, and asked me if i have any contact on this subject.
knowing that other than l'alliance francaise or some other language centers which give a traditional way teaching on french.
me and my wife have recently discovered a learning center at north point which the founders are both french (actually the wife is chinese but speaks prefect french accent. her husband is french who has worked in asia since sometime and knows very well asian culture), the center use some game play and artwork making to combine with french culture and language.
they have both french and mandarin lesson for children and adult.

don't know if i can make any advertising here.
so if interested, i can PM you their web site. you can find more details on that.

hope this helps!

我個仔會系2009年9月入讀陳守仁, 我想問下各位, 這學校的功課每日大約有幾多樣同默書,背書及考試是否很頻密.

我希望有d資料小朋友同大人都作出心理準備

作者: principal 時間: 09-1-7 16:38

JOSHUA1118,

For P.1, the amount of homework is about 3-4 per day from Monday to Thursday. It will be about 4-5 for Friday and weekend.

For examination, the first term exam. is in December and the second term exam. is in June.

For dictation, I think it will be better for the current P.1 parents to give you the latest information now.

What Principal mentioned is very accurate. There is only Chinese dictation in around every 2 weeks. There is no so called English dictation, only English words spelling.
If you compare the workload in Kindergarten, of course you will find that it is substantially increased. However, the homework workload for TSL as compared to other Government schools, it is less.

小兒亦會於09年入讀TSL。除咗功課量外，我都想再瞭解多d呢間學校，請各家長幫忙,謝謝!

1. 教學方法係全活動教學定係集活動及傳統教學於一身
2. 老師對學生係咪好有耐心同愛心
3. 學術成績同近年升中成績怎樣, 係咪真係得30%入Band 1 中學?
4. 喺TSL嘅語言能力(聽同講)係好好, 但傳聞寫就比較弱 (6年級=傳統學校嘅4年級), 所以將來考私校同直資嘅中學可能就比較蝕底。呢個係咪事實呢?
5. 有冇聽過不久將來會有一條龍中學呢?
6. 學校會唔會有遊學團架?

好多問題...請見諒!

作者: principal 時間: 09-1-10 20:49

MumTang,

1. 教學方法係全活動教學定係集活動及傳統教學於一身
- It’s a mix of both.

2. 老師對學生係咪好有耐心同愛心
- Most teachers are patient and caring.

3. 學術成績同近年升中成績怎樣, 係咪真係得30%入Band 1 中學?
- We can see continuous improvement over the past few years.
The ratio 1/3 (or 33%) was assigned by EDB several years ago when TSL became a DSS.  The % of pupils admitted to Band 1 secondary schools is much higher than 30% in recent years.

4. 喺TSL嘅語言能力(聽同講)係好好, 但傳聞寫就比較弱 (6年級=傳統學校嘅4年級),  所以將來考私校同直資嘅中學可能就比較蝕底。呢個係咪事實呢?
- I don’t think this is the case for English subject.
On average, I don’t think the level of TSL pupils’ written English will be lower than the average level of most traditional schools in HK, except those “super brand-name schools”.
However, this might be true for Chinese subject.
But I understand that the school and the Chinese teachers are trying their best to enhance the level of Chinese subject as well.

5. 有冇聽過不久將來會有一條龍中學呢?
- No news on this. Did you hear some new information from some sources?

6. 學校會唔會有遊學團架?
- Not at this moment.  May be the school will consider this shortly.

Hope this helps.

Principal,
I fully agree with you that the school and the teacher are striving the best to improve the Chinese level in TSL. Take for the case in P.1 2nd term, in additional to the regular textbook &wb, there are 2 supplymentary ex. and 2 PTH tx. & wb.
Personally I think the family also need to cooperate with the school to improve the Chinese capability of the kids.
A few points I want to highlight:
- Pinyin: this is the building block of Chinese Mandarin and is extremely important, just like English ABC..However I have a feeling that majority of the P.1 kids still can't manage well.
- The environment of speaking Mandarin: If I remember I read a report and it mentioned that in general, the TSL students are not active in answering questions in the Chinese class in Mandarin.. This is also because the fundamental is not strong enough.

So, my suggestion is that:
- the kids need to strength the Mandarin and Pinyin capability at the beginning. A few things are what I'm doing:
- have my son attending the good Pinyin class (even though we already lived in Beijing for 2 years)
- Look up the Chinese dictionary when we're not sure the pronounciation
- read books with pinyin (my son can read most of the words now)
- listen more, speak more Mandarin

I hope that with the School and the Family effort, a few years later, we can hear the comments that the TSL's students, both English and Chinese capabilities are excellent!

唔該哂呀! 我只睇到日期唔見時間添

請問會有咩特別節目嗎? 定係只開放校園比我地參觀? 因為我同仔仔都未試過行下TSL, 但當日佢又要開生日會, 好撞時間

但希望盡量抽到時間去一去, 增加下佢對呢間學校既歸屬感:)

silvia_ng,

Last year, the Open Day was just like a fun fair.
However, the programs/format of the Open Day might change slightly every year.
Not sure about the details for this year.

Normally, the visitors can visit the school hall, various classrooms and function rooms.
You can choose either to follow the school tour guides at regular intervals or feel free to go anywhere on your own.

There should be some game booths on the playgrounds, some other simple games run by the pupils and relevant teachers in different function rooms, some rooms will display pupils’ projects and assignment in various subjects.
You can also visit the Campus TV studio and be interviewed by the reporters and the photos and videos will be posted on the school website some time later.

If you have decided to let your child study in TSL in the coming September, it should be a very good chance for you to bring your child to the Open Day for a few hours to let him have a feel about the school, the teachers and the schoolmates in advance.

唔該哂你呀! 好詳細呢

小兒生日會開到3點左右, 不過要先返一返屋企放低野再趕出黎...希望唔會太夜啦!
我都決定左比小朋友9月係TSL讀架啦, 所以我地兩個都要了解多D, 知多D, 希望佢升上去適應得好D。

thanks in advance!

TSL is really a good school.

hello bkman,
i'm sure you are right.

thanks in advance!

TSL是保良局的英文直資小學，要交學費，去年好像是約1200/月，用普通話教中文科，英文同普通話都有教拼音。所以口語比較好同標準。一般校內BAND 3可以搏入BAND 2中學。 BAND 2 搏入 BAND 1。 BAND 1 就搏BAND 1 頭中學。去年的升中報告出咗， 75位入BAND 1 SCHOOLS， 70位入直資，占總人數大約87%，而且開始沒這么分散了。所以該校的BAND 3出路都不是太差。而且又有法文同日文學，活動都好多，很重視音樂，是少有進步快的英文小學。

TSL 大約有20%是非華裔學生，主要是南亞裔，因前身是伊斯蘭小學，當時收好多非華裔學生。自從PLK接手後，仍然保留一定學位給非華裔學生。

以英語授課，如果不懂華語的學生，可以選擇法文為第二語言。懂華語的可以選擇中文為第二語言。

除中英法文外，還可以選讀日文。從小學開始多學一種外語，有百利無一害。

有一位外籍老師教PHONICS。校內英語氣氛良好。無論會不會中文的學生，都適合入讀。

不過照近年收生情況，入表好像越來越多。因而競爭也相對大了。收生一般以學生的成績，面試表現和課外活動，如懂樂器更佳。

希望這些對你有用吧。個人意見。

小兒亦會於09年入讀TSL。除咗功課量外，我都想再瞭解多d呢間學校，請各家長幫忙,謝謝!

1. 教學方法係全活動教學定係集活動及傳統教學於一身
集兩樣。

2. 老師對學生係咪好有耐心同愛心
多數係。

3. 學術成績同近年升中成績怎樣, 係咪真係得30%入Band 1 中學?
過往是約1/3，1/3，1/3，這是派位的比例。不過實際入BAND 1中學（好多BAND 1學生入讀的我叫它做BAND 1中學）和直資人數遠超這比例，這應該是學生憑自行面試入學率較高。他們每年都有升中報告公布，往年比較散，今年沒那么散了，現在還可以從他們網頁看到這個最近期的報告。

4. 喺TSL嘅語言能力(聽同講)係好好, 但傳聞寫就比較弱 (6年級=傳統學校嘅4年級), 所以將來考私校同直資嘅中學可能就比較蝕底。呢個係咪事實呢?
唔覺得，小一開始要寫ENGLISH JOURNAL。中文好像也有類似的功課。看他們入直資的比例就知道沒有蝕底。

5. 有冇聽過不久將來會有一條龍中學呢?
從2003年開始要求政府撥地開一條龍中學，可惜沒有成功，反而同期申請的陸慶濤小學聯系了羅氏基金中學。以后不知道，暫時沒有消息。

6. 學校會唔會有遊學團架?
今年的P.6有了。不過不便宜，好像基本要25，000+++。

好多問題...請見諒!
希望對你有用。

bkman,

With regard to "遊學團", where is the destination if they pay HK$25,000 ++??
When will the "遊學團" be held? Easter or summer holiday?
Also, who is the organizer (i.e. which travel agent)?

Just heard that there are also "遊學團" for P.4

It seems that "遊學團" is something new for TSL.

Dear all,

遊學團確實費用不需$18,000, 另加tax都不會過$20,000. 今年是首年辦這活動, 共11天, 去的地方包括英國及法國, 由4-5位老師同行, 應該會很安全, 因他們都是懂法語的老師, 而且於英國入住的是School Hostel, 在法國會住3 star hotel, 有數天的早上上英文課, 其他會是交流及參觀, 但好像也要面試成功才能參加, 此團是給P4-P6的學生去的, 不是只有六年級生才可以去. 好像和翠明假期合辦的, 不太記得, 要回家看看通告後再告訴給你們知.

作者: angelprincess 時間: 09-3-2 10:38

還有, 這團是於暑假出發的, 大約於7月20日左右.

作者: TINGMUM 時間: 09-3-2 11:09

"遊學團" P4 to P6, 只係 HK$17,000到 (不包機場稅), 暑假去英國同法國, 11日. organizer是翠明假期. 對家長來說, 無論是否參加, 都算是驚喜!

關於寫英文journal, 我都想提下, 由剛入學時, 仔仔只是一句起兩句止, 而家可以寫好多, 而且完全不用問我地spelling, 看完他做好的journal, 我都好感意外, 不知是否學校有教phonic, 他的spelling進步得好快.

而中文的"童言"相同, 他很喜歡又畫又寫的感覺, 而且中文老師好懂鼓勵小朋友, 次次派發, 仔仔好雀躍想看老師對他文章的回應.

Principal,

Re : 遊學團

You must have been too busy at work recently and missed some notices on this one.

*****

Though nothing new in some schools (eg SPCC, CKY), it is quite new for TSL.

Would consider it a very good experience for kids. But if you have time in summer hols and plan to travel with your kid(s), perhaps no need to go on this trip.

The co-organizer is better than some agencies and experienced.

Personally I have every confidence in TSL teachers and their ability to lead such groups.

But becos of personal reasons, we have decided not to join.

作者: Bluestar 時間: 09-3-2 12:32

The teachers and kids are quite engrossed in preparations for Open Day already !

Haven't donated anything, but sure hope I can buy some things at the Bazaar !

歡迎光臨教育王國 (/)
