I want to know too......

作者: aa120520 時間: 09-10-21 10:21

Well, I want to know too. I like this school very much during the interview period......but except their canteen. The food are really not healthy to child. Seriously, what Jamie Oliver say in England, that is 'rubbish food'. (Sorry that is my personal feeling only.)

作者: tungmom 時間: 09-10-21 13:54

I just called the school and they said they will send out letter on this Fri. I like this school too, although the location is quite far as I live in Shau Kei Wan. This secondary school connected to it is 匯基書院 which I heard is a very good school. I have a colleague's son studying here and his son has just got in 皇仁 for secondary 1.

作者: MaggieHei 時間: 09-10-21 13:57

My husband go to interview with my girl. He has no idea about this school. My colleague's wife is primary teacher and she also recommand this school to me.

My husband said, this compus is too old and small. But, the students are very nice & polite. It give good image to him.

請問救恩今年收幾多人呢？救恩自己有幼稚園，還有位收其他人嗎？Interview當日，我有試食飯盒，又幾好味(個人意見)！我喜歡他們有自己廚房，不用向外定餐，D飯菜可新鮮d，味精也小d。

作者: Catmom 時間: 09-10-21 16:58

當日校長話一半幼稚園一半外來生.

I study in Kau Yan College both primary and secondary for 13 years long long time ago. I love this school so much before she split into primary and secondary and even move to Tai Po. I feel so sad that my mother school become like that. Due to this personal reason behind, I didn't let my kid apply this school.

作者: aa120520 時間: 09-10-23 10:33

As some parent said the school will send the letter today. Would parent please if they receive the letter, can you please share to us here? Thanks!

作者: MaggieHei 時間: 09-10-23 14:29

they just send out all letters this morning. So, will get it tmw or next MOnday

作者: bbone 時間: 09-10-23 14:32

I just called the school. The staff told me they send the letters out today, and if I don't receive it early next week, I should call again and talk to a Ms. Wong. So the earliest we'll receive the letter will be tomorrow.

作者: Catmom 時間: 09-10-23 14:49

Will they send out reject letters as well?

作者: MaggieHei 時間: 09-10-23 14:56

我打去學校問左, 個職員答, 直至11月23日第一輪自行收生放榜前, 學校都唔會把留位學生資料遞去教統局~
但11月23日放榜後, 若家長決定俾小朋友繼續參加第二輪大抽獎的話, 即使已交留位費, 個小朋友都會變成備取生... 變成備取生, 咁佢地唔會把小朋友資料上呈!

有無家長收到 wait list or reject既信？

作者: MaggieHei 時間: 09-10-24 18:00

都唔係好明白

9/11 是 deadline 交留位費.

如果交了留位費, 23/11 放榜后, 學校是否會把小朋友名字上呈 ? 如果不會, 佢地點知邊d小朋友2邊留位 ?

如果 23/11 放榜后沒有位. 1月才決定會唔會參加大抽獎. 到時學校是否會問我地會唔會參加大抽獎 ? 如果決定參加, 佢地將我地變備取生.如果我參加大抽獎又唔同佢地講. 是否佢地會把我地個名上呈教育處. 教育處便把我地個名除走 ? 如果係咁, 同 dss 有咩分別 ?

No la, as a private school, they cannot stop you from joining the lucky draw.

You will get a letter from EDB asking whether you still want to join the lucky draw. Just say yes if you want to. The school will be notified of your decision, but the heaviest penalty you may get is to lose your registration fee and the place at that school.

My son is in P1 now, and last year, there are people who get rejected. This school is really great though, and I think this is the only choice for my younger, won't even try applying another one.

Kau Yan is a really great school. My little one is accepted and I gladly give up the "lucky draw" simply because I don't like anything that I have absolutely no control of.

作者: Chole 時間: 09-10-26 21:43

Jen, Semideaf & Bbone,

I havn't made up my mind yet. Would you please share more why you love this school? There is little discussion in BK or other forum and I do not know anyone studying in Kau Yan.

Thanks !

作者: bbone 時間: 09-10-26 22:05

I like this school because I heard this is a very loving and caring school. To me, good moral values are more important than good academic results. Not that the academic result of Kau Yan is not good. You may have a look at this link for her 2008-2009 secondary school allocation:

I think that they are not hard. As the school visit during interview, I saw P2 study a story book; which is my boy studying at home nowadays. Suppose it is a 5 - 6 years story boy.

咁課程會唔會太淺呀? 怕上到中學唔夠競爭力.

作者: aa120520 時間: 09-10-28 11:43

From my point of view, they prefer P1 & P2 have a happy school life. Then will speed up from P3. Hope the parent that their children study at this school comment. Thanks!

My boy is also accepted but i know not much about this school (i am not a HongKonger).
I only know this school is famous for caring teachers and good moral values.

1. Can anyone share how is their English standard?
2. I live in TKO, anyone know if there is school bus going there?

作者: Jen 時間: 09-10-28 22:52

All depends on what you want.  My P1 boy has gone to private tutoring ever since kindergarten.  He is in the same English class with 2 DBSPD boys and a co-ed girl.  He is reading same paper back novels as his DBSPD peers.  I even get the list of DBSPD recommended reading books for him, and he reads them without much problem.

There are different things to learn for different books.  A book that looks easy and with lots of pictures may have very complicated sentence structure.  Even though his daily reading assignment my look a bit easy, there is always something to learn from, from the writer's choice of word to simply even enjoying the funny story.  Afterall, no one will read if he can't find the fun and joy of it.  Kau Yan has so many variety of books fitting different individual needs.  Even in DBSPD, St. Paul Co ed, student's English level varies, but of course with an average higher standard.

In Kau Yan, my boy is very happy, and has built up very good self confidence.  The teachers are really loving and caring.  He is also establishing a very very good reading habit.  He really enjoys the reading, and never asks for TV since he started P1.  I can tell that he has built up very good volcabury from his reading.  He is using the words that he has learnt from his self reading in his writing.  After comparing his word with two other of his classmates, I don't think he is behind at all.

Kau Yan encourages self learning.  If your kid is eager to learn, there are a lot of opportunity that he can learn more at his level.  The spelling quiz only have about 10 words, but unlimited bonus words related to the topic.  My boy can spell 30 bonus words, and he is so happy that he is very eager to learn more.  It is not easy to ask a boy to spell 30 words that describe a person.  I have to teach him ways to remember the 30.  They have mini sentences writing assignments weeks ago, which I know DBSPD is still not doing at least a week ago.  Although teacher suggested to write 3 sentence, I encourage him to write three mini paragraph at his level.

As a parent, we can do a lot to enhance their academic results, but there is something unique that really attracts me to Kau Yan.  The school does really well on life and Christian education which I am sure not a lot of school can offer.  Not only are teachers super loving, and caring, you can simply feel their enthusiasm.  They are like a role model to the kids.  I can tell the kids love their teacher.  They are their teacher and at the same time their friend.  Don't even mention the principal, who will wait patiently for a student to tie his shoe laces.

The school is so thoughtful, and will do whatever they can if it is good for the students.  A new learning center is built with theme teaching.  All the time, the principal told us that class size is about 30, but they changed it to class size of a bit over 20 in the beginning of the year without increasing the tuition.  Where else can you find a private school doing things only for the sake of the children.  I think it deserves government grant.

I am thankful and very satisfied with his school.  I think he can learn how to learn in a comfortable and not very stressful atmosphere.

Yes, I agree with the opinion of Jen. I called my friend immediately to get more info after I got the offer as she has 2 sons studying there. Below are what she told me:

The existing principal is ex-principal of 港同, she brings in a lot of new ideas and enhance the English level. Similar to 港同, they are child-oriented and motivates them to learn independently and proactively rather than push push push. She said the spelling game is really good and it is more effective than 默書. They gives a lot of chances to children to present, so their presentation skill is generally good. They don't have 精英班 but will divide into 3 to 4 groups for different subjects according to their level starting from P.5. If your child's academic result ranks 1-45 (say total 90 students), they will give you the form of their connected school

My personal view: St SXX with good campus but too far. Students are smart too. But a bit "blue blood" feel. For RC, too strict and old teaching style.

作者: SuggieC 時間: 09-10-30 17:12

The lunch for the student to have daily is totally different (much healthier) to the food we tasted on the interview day. My son is in P1 this year and there are 2 dishes + soup/juice every week. There are also bread provided (in free) to the students everyday during their rest time.

The students are encouraged to do a lot of Eng and Chn reading everyday.

I'm really glad to let me son to study in Kau Yan. It's absolutely a good school for kids.

I attended several school's open day and thru the whole interview process, I felt that Kau Yan was most sincere.  My only reservation is that its has no "one dragon" school nearby.

I do like Kau Yan as the headmistress and the teachers are the caring type.  However, I do hear from others that their teaching can be a bit too relaxed and may need extra boast from tutors at spare time.

However, to be fair, most DSS schools are like this nowadays.  Whenever I go visit these schools I always look at their school books and compare them to the "show pieces" from students.

My conclusion is if these students really just do so little home work, it will be impossible for them to be that good in writing essays.

Free,active, fun learning at school.  Dirty work for the parents to take care at home....

Semideaf, in a way true. A lot of dirty works are done by parents at home, but isn't it just the same for other famous school? Students there also go to a lot of tutorial classes.

I attended several school's open day and thru the whole interview process, I felt that Kau Yan was most sincere. My only reservation is that its has no "one dragon" school nearby.

I do like Kau Yan ...

Kau Yan accepted my son. After interviewing 3 schools, I really like this school except it is too far from my home ( from Chai Wan ). Seems all teachers are loving and caring the students whoever the students are smart or below the standard.

Does anyone know the timetable of school bus from Chai Wan to Kau Yan? Will the student wake up at 6am? Will the school bus pick up on/before 7am? Pls kindly advise in details, thanks

My daughter did accept by KY.

The reason why I apply this school because this is recommand by my colleague's wife. She is the primary school teacher for many years in HK side. I gave her the list including St. Paul co-ed to give me the comment. When she see my list with St. Paul co-ed, she did advise me the school which are good and have more or less the same academic level from SPCC.

So, I will expect this school is not as easy as we think in academic.

Besides, the interview is bring by my hobby. He knows nothing about this school. But, the school give him the image is good. He said, the teachers did caring the children. The students there are very polite. The principle there can see have heart to handle the school.

For me, the school is in HK side - Central web for secondary. So, this really attrack me so much.

Jen,

You are right. My observation applies to most if not all DSS. New marketing slogan now is "little home work and happy learning". Almost all schools I visited said the same. Yet, I also go shocked at how good P1 pupils could write from sample homework.... Where did this "ability" come from.

Cheers.

I did give her 16 schools to select. Most of them are in Kln side & some of them are in HK side.

She did tack out St. Paul Co-ed, st. Paul colleageue, SFA, KY,播道.

For some of the schools in KLN side she did not know very much.

My son is studying in P.2 and he has a very happy school life.
The homework from Monday to Thursday is not much. Friday is a bit heavy since more reading works are required.
Everyday, there is homework session and if your kid can concentrate in doing homework, he / she may almost finish all the works at school.

Regarding the curriculum, for those kids whose standard is higher than the peers, the teacher will design separate worksheets for them so that they will not feel boring and can learn more.
This approach can help some high flyers or gifted children to learn on their own pace.
However, the assessment / exam questions will be the same for all students.
There is no exam for P.1 and P.2 students but will have assessments all year round.
Students are required to read recommended books or pieces of article every week (some books are selected by the teacher to match with the reading ability of each kid) and students are required to do some works about the book, like brief summary, simple description of the main characters etc.
In gist, reading is important during P.1 & P.2 school life.

For the academic standard, I got a chance to look at P.2 Chinese exam paper of Wah Yan and found that the paper was more complicated than those taught by kau Yan.
However, I think it has to wait until we have exam next year in order to have a fair comparison.

Teachers in Kau Yan are the most valuable assets that the school must treasure of.
Those teachers I know are very caring.
They admit the difference of each individual child and are willing to spend extra efforts in helping the child for all-rounded growth. Last year when my son was in P.1, I heard that a class teacher was willing to stay after school for tutoring a student who had learning difficulty in some subjects.
I was deeply moved by this incident.
For my son, the school makes a lot of efforts on moral training and my son is quite a caring and loving child that, to me, is more important than academic results.
I fully share with the vision of the new headmistress.
However, KYS does not have one dragon secondary school.
Hope that the headmistress can solve it and continue her vision to the secondary education of our children.

my son is now in K2, we all love this school and my son enjoys his school life very much.

Teachers there are really nice and sincere. I will definitely apply their primary section next year, due to the following reasons:

1. i want him enjoy his school life intead of push push push. I think of st paul boys too, but heard that the workload is very high even in P1, i am afraid my son need to do homework very late at night. It is really poor for a small kids.

2. school environment is good and clean. Teachers, admin staff and even the helpers are very nice.

3. They have own kitchen and chef (i saw the recipe for full-day kindergarten kids, so i know what food they provide, 2 kinds of food + soup). No need to order food fr those outsource provider.

4. i like those secondary schools in central districts, if my son goes to P1, then high chance for him to select secondary in central & western district too.

5. i told my son b4, maybe mammy wl select kau yan primary or other schools for him. he told me he likes kau yan, want to stay here in P1... so funny he is..

When applying secondary school, is it following primary school network? So if studying at Kau Yan, St Stephen Girls will be part of the 'network' for selection?

Besides, how to get info about the secondary school is Band 1 (upper, middle or lower)? why true light is only Band 1 lower.

Yes, True Light has a secondary school as back up. 70% of its primary students can enter it. I like Kau Yan very much, actually I checked the school bus time schedule, both have their lessons started at 8:00 am and need to get on the school bus at 7:00 am, so the location doesn't mean the travel time will be shorter. As most good and band 1 secondary schools have connection with their primary schools at HK side, the seats for other primary school students will not be many. So when I think of this, I would prefer True Light as it's a band 1 English subsidised school that is a popular choice for most parents. But for Kau Yan, though it has a connection school in Kwun Tong but it is a DSS that means I need to pay for 12 years.
