作者: happy07pig 時間: 10-4-29 01:16 標題: 女孩子選校
非常苦惱, 本人住中西區, 理應選擇女校, 因多是有小學和中學, 之後可免除煩惱. 但今早奶奶的一席言, 令我又要再反思我的選擇. 幼稚園和小學選男女校, 給女兒正常發展, 至中學才轉到女校吧. 那女兒便不會對異性太過好奇, 到中學真正發育時期可以專心讀書. 最後三間真的不能取拾, 怕會後悔給女兒作了錯的決定, 各位可否給點意見
:
1. 聖心(女校, 上午, 有小學和中學, 天主教(本人是基督教))
2. 禮賢會(男女校, 上午, 基督教)
3. 聖保羅堂(男女校, 下午, 基督教)
是否有女孩子會選擇2和3呢? 我多是看到男孩子會選擇. 小學選校和派位又要擔心多一次了.
萬分感激的幫忙

Agree with the comment. Children nowadays are not like the old time anymore where they have so many activities outside of school to interact with other children, including both boys and girls.
The reason why you would find (2) and (3) with more boys is very simple, it is because there are so many good choices for girls in HK island so there will be less girls studying in these kindergartens.

現在的孩子，自少便參加各樣的課外活動。有很多接觸異性的機會，我認為分別不大。

我都有同樣的考慮, 我的女兒較活潑, 女校和傳統式的幼稚園, 學生比較文靜,而且有直屬小學,不過要搭校車。 第二間活動式教學的男女校幼稚園在家附近, 學生主動和較自信,但是課程內不用默書,真係唔知點揀？

聖心幼稚園是男女校的, 因聖心小一私立部好大機會已有一個學位在手, 到升小一你仍可以報其他男女私小/直資, 到時小一自行分配學位你又可以嘗試選擇一些心宜的男女校, 若自行唔成功仍可在小一大抽獎再揀那些心宜的男女校, 若果仍然係抽唔中都仲可以叩門, 若到最後仍未能成功的話應該都係天意注定要讀聖心啦~
如果你在k1揀禮賢會/聖保羅堂的話其實同讀聖心行o既路差唔多, 只係少o左一個私小學位在手, 條數點計你自己諗下啦~

聖心係半日學, 放學仍有時間參加課外活動接觸男孩子. 其實而家d細路點會缺乏接觸異性機會, 只係會嫌多唔多得濟.
作者: zitaeric 時間: 10-4-29 11:39
我就覺得不論什麼類型学校,最重要係学校的質素,学生的品德.現在的小朋友有咁多外界接觸,会比較早熟...無論那個階段都要父母好好的指引,讀女校的小朋友会比較乖巧.女校男生的kg男仔又会比較乖.我家附近有兩個男幼稚生,讀不同兩間中區出名幼稚園,我個囡見親佢地都驚咗,用單車撞小朋友,又打人,佢地屋企人又吾理??
作者: zitaeric 時間: 10-4-29 11:42
你揀的三間:
首選一定聖心,
次選禮賢會.
作者: Charlotte_mom 時間: 10-4-29 12:08
我都agree, 一鳥在手, 好過百鳥在林
你揀真光, st paul's convent, 聖心等, 好大(even 100%)已直上小學, 而且仲可以同時考其他學校同玩政府派位, 幾多人發夢都恨唔到(除非你覺得呢幾間小學唸唔過啦)
政府派位..........我呢d無分既真係唔想玩得咁risky, 寧願靠自己去好好計劃
聖保羅堂, 好多人都話男仔比女仔考得好, 你去佢網頁睇下吧!
再講, 凡事睇遠d, 想女女入一間好女中學, 你小學又想讀邊間先? 好既中學好多有自己聯繫/直屬/一條龍小學, 作為一個外人想考入去, 你估咁易? 小3,4又開始操成績, 操課外活動喇, 到時你就知辛苦.....所以都係果句, 一早安排好d!

我同你case 差唔多, 不過係st paul. 我係你會選聖心, 進可攻, 退可守; 其實個個讀得呢類kg, 好多人都當直上的私小係back up, 會好進取去參加大抽獎搏更高(相同)質素官立/津貼小學. by the way 中西區有好多好小/中學, 要搏唔難(唔似我net 66 最好果間只係同出面d中上有得比)
作者: happy07pig 時間: 10-4-29 13:25
我有朋友個囡囡讀聖心, 有升學講座, 話上午私小一定會收番幼稚園的學生, 不過如果選了她們, 就不能再參加大抽獎, 因為她們話會check到你有無參加, 如果有就會視你為放棄上午私小學位. 我朋友就係想參加大抽獎, 所以放棄咗選上午私小. 她們說如果將聖心下午排第1位, 即使抽唔到, 她們都會盡量幫忙.
換言之, 即係一開始就要決定囡囡會否讀她們小學和中學, 否則如果參加大抽獎選別的學校, 即完全放棄聖心了.
我知道直資和有些私小都不准許家長再參加大抽獎的. 世事又怎會咁完美呢?

Hi Zriclo88,
Almost same same case, still thinking about Tai Hang TL and the active-based learning KG which my kid is now studying.
For my case, both my husband and I really love active-based learning; however, viewing that TL is a "through-the-train" KG and I don't need to be trouble.
Most friends said, 一條龍唔係幫個小朋友，係幫個父母, release the pressure from the parents. Personally I don't think TL fits my kids but because of it's "through-the-train" nature, I really need to re-consider.
More and more good secondary choose good primary to 結龍, thus I think it will be more and more difficult to get into good primary / secondary in the future...

Hi esther.cy,
But TL is also activity-based learning, is it not "active" enough in you and your husband point of views?
One-dragon certainly helps the parents and particularly for those who are planning to stay with the same school all the way. But the real driving force is you have a good choice if you have no better choice thru the P1 allocation system.

Yup, in my mind, TL is still very traditional in the sense that pupils must be short hair, no hair accessories is allowed. How come!? Think the every single kids should have their personally, how come they don't allow the kids to have long hair!!??
Also, their English standard is the really my concern. I heard they have only 1 English class a week, no phonics... not sure if it is true.
Actually, no only its "trough-the-train" nature attracts me, also because of the school net. I know Island West is the best school net for girls (consider only HK Island side coz I live in Island East), WanChai & Happy Valley is the 2nd. If I can a seat in TL Primary, I have less worry about her secondary if I don't choose TL Secondary at the end.

Hi esther.cy,
I see what your concerns are, but what you mentioned have no contradictions for TL being activity-based learning bor! Anyway, I think charlotte_mom can give you much better understanding of TL to help you concerning the curriculum and such.
You are right about the C&W district being a better area compare to Wan Chai when it comes to secondary school allocation. For primary allocation, definitely net 12 is the best for both boys and girls. However, for secondary allocation, C&W district is better since it has all but 2 schools which are EMI (after the EDB latest move I think people still consider the schools this way, aren't they?). The good thing is there are Ying Wa Girls without its own primary school and also St. Clare's which have plenty of places too. Of course there are St. Stephen girls also but it will have one-dragon soon so that is a factor to consider. Raimondi also takes in girls now.
For Wan Chai, all the good ones already have their linked primary schools so unless you are part of them already otherwise there are not much advantages.

Ian,
Based on my understanding, P1 allocation depends on where you live. Does it mean the gov' P1 allocation 大抽獎 only consider your reported home address but not considering other factors? Since I am living on Island East (net 16) and I found that not much primary. Those band 1 like 基灣, 聖米加勒 are definitely not my cup of tea. That's why I am thinking about moving to Wan Chai for my kids.
Grateful if you could please help! Thanks!
Cheers,

The P1 allocation has two parts: The first part is by calculation of points for those who have relationships with the primary schools (for example elder siblings studying there(100%) / parents are old boys/ girls/ same religion, etc.).
The second part has separated to two parts: (i) 10% of spaces for any school in any areas (ii) remaining 90% of spaces in the area you live ONLY.
So your understanding is correct.

Since I would like my girl to be more active in terms of asking question, problem solving rather than sitting on her seat and study, study and study. Based on this understanding, do you think I should choose TL?
In addition, can you categorized TL girl as active and 活潑one??
Please share, thanks!

路過而已, 多口插咀.
如果你希望好像維記或IS一樣的style,我估真光真係唔係yr cup of tea. 佢幾注重學生守秩序有禮,訓練學生要等老師發言後才發言, 但又一定讓學生暢所欲言,我女返學超開心. 你擔心的填鴨式教育,我估在香港真係絕無僅有啦.

我可以肯定講句真光唔係填鴨式
俾例如你會好d......例如教交通工具, 佢會初初叫家長假日陪小朋友去街留意下路面情況, 然後會講解各種交通工具, 有咩分別, 點好, 點唔好, 會叫小朋友畫畫, 設計一條馬路, 上面有咩設施, 點解, 有咩好, 例如有行人天橋, d車就唔駛停低, 但天橋又唔方便d推車既人等等
咁平時show & tell, 新聞分享, 天氣報告就例牌架喇, 老師好識做既, 舉唔舉手既小朋友都有機會, 所以小朋友係習慣思考同present的, 唔呆架
(所以我咪話, o係真光我見到活動教學一樣可以做得好好, 至放心俾我女考間活動既小一, 而唔選擇真光小學, 雖然真小都有d活動, 但功課設計同評估都係傳統, 我想再徹底活動d)

Hi Charlotte,
Always thanks for your information. But wanna ask how difficult is their Chinese level??
In order to get more info about TL, I called the school today about their English / Mandarin teaching at school, they said:
1) They do teach English by their local class teacher.
2) Native English teacher comes 20mins per week.
3) Native Mandarin teacher comes also 20mins per week.
4) Teach phonics from K2 by local teachers.
Hope to share these info with all TL parents.

Hi que2132007,
Maybe there is some problems in my PM system and that's why can't send thro.
Actually I still have not made any decision yet since there are quite a lots of good things in both system.
However, my girl is those who like to explore and learn, since I believe TL is a more traditional school comparatively (though they claim they changed), thus I worry it will hinder her character development (I really believe the first 1-6 years are those years to develop your kids' character); however, as said, given that TL is an above-average (at least band 1 in secondary school) and is a "through-the-train" school, thus really need to re-consider.
Just a reminder that TL secondary is not guarantee but only about 50% can directly promote, pls note this point.

Hi esther.cy,
Still can't decided?
I also monitor TL's primary result so here's the last year's result on their website for your reference:
http://www.tlmshkps.edu.hk/..%5Caward%5Cs1.htm
Although their relationship with their secondary section is only nominated, but almost 70% of the girls still promoted to their secondary section. Moreover, many more also went to other good schools too.
Just for your reference, not selling TL to you ;)

Ian, I know I am so indecisive!
Colleagues of mine (who had kids studying in K2, K3) all support TL coz they said TL is a good school (though not those TOP TIER one), also, I don't need to go through "difficult interview" for P1, so should be a good choice!
I bought a book about Primary school. Be frank, not many private and DSS I really like. For those I really like, I think chances of getting there are very slim (e.g. sp-coed, st. stephen co-ed)... also, I don't really like my school net (net 16), thus perhaps TL is still a good choice to me given of this situation.

Hi esther.cy,
After hearing so much concerns from you, I started to understand more and this is what I would suggest. Hope this is what you need to listen.
From how I see it, what really concern you is not whether TL primary or TL kindergarten is activity based, but even having through train to TL primary and even admitted to TL (secondary) is not what you are aiming for, isn't it?
There are always two side of a story so I would agree sometimes having the through-train could mean nothing or even undesirable outcome. OF course the world is not perfect and we can only deal with it with our best knowledge. However, honestly I don't think St. Paul's co-ed would fit your expectation, except being famous and popular. St. Stephen's college, however, would probably be what you should target. There are no specific kindergartens which is more favorable while applying for them so it would means parents' efforts and commitment would be important to help prepare the child for the interview. I would say the language skills on both English and PTH would be areas for you to focus. So, not to worry too much on which kindergarten your child will be attending. But for sure, it will take efforts much greater than kindergarten interview.
If you and your husband are committed to do that, then staying in the current kindergarten would be fine. However, picking TL won't hurt much still since St. Stephen's is a DSS so you can still have TL as backup. Or you wanna "break the axe to find the boat"?
Which book you bought on primary schools? If you read my post on one-dragon, I have already mentioned the choices are very limited, only 40 private and 20 DSS in Hong Kong. There are really not many choices. I still have so many information I prepared through my research and never have time to put them together, now I am going to organize them and planning to write a book. Too bad I was too lazy last year so you can't see it to help your on making the choice.

Ian,
The thing that TL makes me worry the most is their English and PTH level. They have only native English teacher teaching the kids 20mins PER WEEK (hey, not per day but per week only). I have called them and they do have phonics but taught by local)
Since St. Stephen co-ed is an English school, thus I would assume they like to take kids which can speak / understand English quite well. This is really my concern.
However, heard that St. Stephen likes parents who are professional which I am definitely not. Really thinking if I should change my target school.
Don't remember the primary book which I am now reading but I bought it from Circle K. It is a new primary book, quite book and not published by big publisher. Will check the name from home and let you know.
Looking forward to your book coz you are surely the best to write. Can't wait to read yours and definitely I am your fans, heehee!

Hi esther.cy,
Thank you very much for being my fans! 
Actually, no matter which kindergarten you choose, I would strongly recommend supplement language courses anyway. It wouldn't be sufficient if you really aim for St. Stephen's. I am not sure if they really prefer parents who are professional but those friends whose children got admitted do fall into that category. Never rule yourself out too soon! Kids studying there do possess very good language skills are very confident with good presentation skills. Is that what you are looking for?

Similar case here, GH (am) but vs Pui Ching (pm). Both hv pros and cons.
GH: new KG, know nothing on their curriculum, school operation & school bus arrangement. But need to settle payment on Jun 1. Still hesitate whether to choose GH primary school due to their big class and early school schedule (7:30 start).
PC: Eng & PTH level are relatively low. Cannot participate in 大抽獎 for primary school.
Have been struggling in this matter for several months, yet still can't make up my mind. Any views or comments do you have? Many thanks!

Hi maewmaew,
I am not sure if I can give you comments simply by comparing two schools. Please give me more information like preferences or your child's characteristics for reference.
I was expecting GH to have a difficult syllabus since it choose not to accept school voucher. Actually now I wonder why it doesn't accept it if it's curriculum is simple based on the book list the new parents mentioned. Of course, we will never know until school starts since the book list is just a book list, they can still offer many other additional programs on top of it.
It really depends on what sort of primary school you plan for your daughter (I assume since GH only accepts girls, right?). KV has good preparation for traditional primary path and getting into KV would make sure the children are ready for such programs in P1.
Choosing GH means you will have a good backup provided that 2 years later, (1) they still guarantee own kindergarten students to P1, (2) even take the P1 offer and can still do lucky draw. Even without (2), I guess it is still good to have a P1 seat secured first.
Just to share a persona experience. KV was my target kinder at the very beginning, since my wife and I like the academic preparation, and my elder daughter is more suitable for their style. However, I chose a one-dragon kindergarten which is not as academic advanced, but promotes more on moral education. We do like moral education as we feel it is important, but as world is not perfect, we do realize it couldn't offer a challenging curriculum which is more suitable for my elder daughter. But at the end, it is just kindergarten. If the kinder cannot offer that, as parents we just have to supplement whatever is missing.

Hi Ian,
May you pls also comment on GH vs PuiChing? Pls see more details I mentioned two days ago. My daughter is a cheerful and outgoing girl, yet quite talkative and full of questions. Sometimes may not take adult's instructions if she thinks one's words are not convincing or reasonable. At the beginning, I believe PC is a suitable choice for her since everyone said their moral education is outstanding. But then I gradually find my girl is very interested in languages no matter Cantonese, English or putonghua. I'm afraid PC may not be able to provide such a language environment for her. What a difficult decision to make! But I still need to do it as GH needs us settle payment on 1st June . Canyou pls give us some advice? Thanks!

Hi angelacyn,
If it is just the interest of language, I wonder if GH's kinder can offer you what you expect since still unsure what exactly they would do yet. Do you have any info provided by them yet?
I do think PC should be good on moral education and we also had a few days of struggle on whether to attend last year (at least have first hand exp. with it). My daughter's friend at her pre-nursery is attending PC now and the comments on the language is true, but I guess this is expected. Look at it from another angle, if you really want to keep up with it, PC's tuition fee after school voucher should be around 1,000-2,000 less than GH per month, so use that money to look for other courses to take. (fyi, PC's primary tuition fees is also much lower than GH) But personally I don't recommend you to rush into it, just observe and let your daughter get used to the kindergarten life first (I don't buy those 0-6 years theory, if so, I guess we don't have translation professional in the world 
).
Do you have religions' consideration? It was one of the key which I didn't choose PC at the end since we prefer Catholic schools.
Let me know if I can offer further assistance.

Hi, Ian
I have GHS / KV on hand, actually my daughter is studying at Greenville Kindergarten at TKO and I was consider to let my girl to complete her kindergarten life at Greenville druing the past couple weeks due to I like their educational system very much.. but all my friend told me "I shouldn't ! due to Greenville is only wellknown at TKO". Am currently living at TKO District and can be move to any district when my girl starting her K3. One of my target district is Homantin (34) district and I think I will not consider 41 district due to the competition is too high.
I was thinking both DSS and Gov't aided school like i.e. Heep Yun, St Rosa, Evangel Colleague, Logos Academy, Pui Kui College etc.... but most of my friends told me, by even GH Primary School is not your cup of tea, you should still take GH Kindergarten in order you can have a back up when we are going to enroll the DSS... What do you think ? Tks for your guidance in advanced.
作者: iantsang 時間: 10-5-24 02:34
Hi maewmaew,
My concern would be, GH is not an option to you since their style won't fit your daughter unless she changed dramatically during her kindergarten life, which is not impossible! So, I think you are the only one who can judge this since I saw my own daughter went through changes in the process from interview to starting kindergarten and now. I guess I was too conservative but nonetheless, we all love the current kindergarten!
I support you too on choosing net 34 rather than net 41. My gut feeling is you should choose KV. I just don't see GH primary as a backup in your case.

作者: iantsang 時間: 10-5-24 13:24
Hi esther.cy,
Certainly taking extra classes out is not the same as learning at school. But it depends on how you look at your child's development as a whole.
Learning is a lifelong experience and it doesn't limit inside the school. Just to share with you, I am a zero-playgroup, zero interest class parents. My elder daughter attends her first interest class because of the swine influenza last year and pre-nursery is closed earlier. So far she only attends classes that we feel she is interested and also have persistent on them. The first one was a painting and art craft class. Second one is a music class. I have no intentions for her to win any competition by giving her these lessons. However, a kid is at the kindergarten for only 3 - 3.5 hours and much of the time was spent on eating snacks, queue up for the toilets, etc. So, do not expect the child to learn everything there.
In my point of view, the ideal situation is to let them explore different things and let they find out their own talents and interests through this process. Like my daughter's case, I never put emphasis on giving English nor PTH training to her, but she requested us to give her some classes in this coming summer holiday as she feels she wanna learn more. We observe it may be because many classmates also have outside language training and my daughter feels she wanna improve her knowledge. Again, my wife and I never force her to do any of these.
Not sure if this is useful for you but certainly hope to bring up some new ideas during your decision making process.
Cheers/ Ian

Sorry that I would like to join the conversation.
My girl is not very active one nor very quite one. Because of this, I have talked to her class teacher about her character and discuss which KG will fit her the most. Her response does give me some inslight... you don't really know her REAL character (unless those very extreme one) until he / she reaches 4 to 5. Therefore, it's too early to judge which KG will fit your girl the best.

Hi esther.cy,
I see where your concern is now after re-reading my previous post.
I think the issue is my selection of words when I mention it is impossible for the girl to change so much. Actually I was just being lazy and what I meant was even the girl has changed, the parents didn't change accordingly so it would still not be an option for the parents since the study style may not fir their expectation and daily pattern.
Thank you very much for pointing out my problem! And sorry to maewmaew of not making it clear.

Hi maewmaew,
The popular choice in net 31 (Yaumatei/ TST) is St. Mary's and I have no knowledge of net 91 as it is a bit too far for us to consider.
Frankly, I didn't study much of the new DSS schools like Logos since we are still a believer of conventional education. I think you can try to get some more inputs from your neighbours as you live in the area too.
Back to your consideration of staying at Greenville, I would say if she really enjoys it so much, sometimes it is tough for parents to change them to another one. However, they will need to go through this process in their future anyway so may as well let them experience it earlier. Of course, if you also believe it is good for her to stay, then the question would be, whether you will be targeting to find schools thru the allocation system. If so, then I would say it is also an option.

They don't accept voucher, right? I guess it is impossible for a voucher receiving kinder to do so much. Also, their allocation result to DSS and private schools seems not bad. Of course they didn't give enough details to know the percentage of those successful ones so hard to judge.
So, I think you want to stay in Greenville more, correct?

In that case, Greenville seems to be a good option. But giving up KV and GH is hard, and I know....... but seems it is more suitable for your girl.

DSS at TKO are Logos and Evangel but the competition is high of both of this two schools. Greenville is not accepting 學券cause they can provide us various elements incl daily english oral section, Phonics and PTH.
But to give up KV and GHS is surely a hard decision and all of my friends tolds me I SHOULDN'T due to Kentville is only well known at TKO area and the birth ratio starting as Y07 is so high. Ontop, many peoples from other district are coming to TKO by enroll this two DSS too.
Base of above factors, they told me I should either take GHS in order for I can have a back up or I shall consider KV by 提升競爭力.

作者: iantsang 時間: 10-5-26 00:39
Hi maewmaew,
Actually I would feel the curriculum in Greenville would be more appealing to many DSS! The program in KV is good, and I like it too personally. However, it is because I target more conventional/ traditional style schools. So whether studying in KV would increase the competitiveness, that can be a question mark.
It seems I have answered so many questions from parents lately and many of you involve GH so I started to lose track.... so sorry.... but GH primary is not one that you prefer too, right? (Actually seems all comparison involving GH, the parents don't prefer GH primary or logically if they prefer it, there won't be necessary of a comparison!)
So, try to arrange the thinking process this way:
(1) If a backup school is so important, meaning even if you really have a lousy school given to you thru lottery and you have GH on hand, you will choose GH, then I think you should choose GH now. Since it is hard to guarantee anything 3 years later and I guess every 2007 parents know how bad this year's competition has become. I will have a taste of even worse in coming year and hope to share more later too.
(2) If backup is not needed, then you can start to think which style of schools you are targeting now. I must say again KV was my original no.1 choice. However, having seen even the 2003 parents (one the lowest birth rate year) running around for primary schools, I think I freak out and start to do so much research on education system and eventually one-dragon schools. I can't guarantee out of the 6-700 KV students, everyone can have good allocation results so I choose one-dragon school instead. I went to boys' school and my wife's primary school has closed for ages so we have no other options. However, I must say I do like KV's style of teaching the kids to sit still to homeworks and such. I think they must have some good tricks, and like their preparation on the children academically.
(3) If you find the system in Greenville is good for your son, I think the most important thing is to prepare yourself to defense your decision. If you think you are not good with that, then you must choose KV.
Hope this help you on solving your dilemma better.

GHS vs PC - 只有聽聞 PC(小學) 的轉去 GH(中學)讀, 沒有聽過 GH 的會轉去 PC....所以我覺得 GH(以中學計) 應好過PC. ** GH TOP 的學生會去 MCS, ST. MARY, 讀不上的應會轉去活動教學的學校 OR INT'L SCHOOL.
GHS VS KV - 我會選課程淺又有一條的, 因為不想小朋友為考小學, 太早練寫字, 日日機械式操練, 又要學琴棋書畫, 周身唔得閑....( 我有朋友個子讀 KV, 就是這樣, 都仍是一間名小學都考不上...小朋友好可憐, 之後 INTERVIEW 都不肯說話了.) 其實 KG 課程不應太深的, 操練式的正規教學應在小學才開始的.
GHS VS GREENVILLE - 如果想讀活動教學小學的話, 留在 GREENVILLE 是 OKAY 的.

DSS at TKO are Logos and Evangel but the competition is high of both of this two schools. Greenville is not accepting 學券cause they can provide us various elements incl daily english oral se ...
My daughter will study Greenville N1 in the coming Aug.
I think the main point of choosing the kinder is not the 名氣，is that the kinder's suit for your child or not.
If your daughter really love love the school, you shouldn't change it, any kinder can have good student.
It is not easy for a 3-4 year old child to adapt a new environment.
that is my suggest

Hi maewmaew,
You must be very proud of your daughter! I can feel the happiness from you and hope you can make up your mind eventually. Does KV's am offer affect your decision?

Hi Ian
I have two daughters, one is K2 in September at GH Kindergarten and one is Prenursery in September. Good Hope Primary must be one of my target. For other schools include private, DSS or subsidiary schools, do you have any recommendations for the district at Tsz Wan Shan, Kln Tong or To Kwa Wan?

Hi gloriahung,
Cannot say recommend but there are a few schools I have considered near the areas you mentioned: Pui Ching, Pooi To, and Our Lady's. Aided schools like Heep Yunn and Holy Angels.
However, I think their style with Good Hope is quite different. Do you prefer schools with strict discipline and stronger emphasis on academic?
Ian

Hi, Ian
for sharing, I have been finally register GHS by even they offer me PM class and will give up KV 100%. Base of my observation of the attitude of my daughter, am quite sure that she's not the type by going to the traditional school. So I think to give up KV is correct and ontop I found the traffic is terrible jam in the morning time at Kowloon Tong Area.
Greenville, yes I like them very much but I think I have to face the reality that the competiton is so high this year.
GHS, while I go there to paid the misc charges few days ago.. Ms Chiu (working at GHS Kindergarten) has been explain and answer us the questions.
to be frank, GH Primary school is still not my target school uptp this moment but I will certainly take their offer if I have such a bad luck that I didn't get any offer from my target DSS and ontop get a lousy school during the allocation 
Furthermore, I would like to seek your comment for one of my friend who is getting the seat from LH Lohas Park (English/Mandarin class) and GH.. They like GHS's back up but also love the syllabus of LH (by especially after they know the placement result of LH this year that some of the LH's students are getting the seat successfully of their target DSS like 播道, 培僑書院, 陳守仁, 宣道 etc...
Tks for your tips in advanced.

Hi maewmaew,
Glad to learn that you have decided. Do remember to remind KV of your withdraw so that other waiting parents can have good news sooner. Thanks for being considerate!
For your friend's case, I guess there is no perfect world so your friend must ask which one he/she prefers more. Obviously the LH's curriculum comparing with GH would be so different that a choice must be made for either one.

Hi
I will inform KV but I guess they will withdraw it by tomorrow anyway due to I won;t paid them the misc chagres.
since my friend donot have the own Bk a/c and hereby I would like to seek your comment o/b of her.
As said, since she like GH's back up but also the syllabus and the replacement result of LH. t4, she can't make up her mind .. and might consider to go to both kindergarten if she can't make the decision.
what do you think about that ?

hahaha, actually I thought of such suggestion but this is not so easy to accept by many parents.
But would it be too far away to attend both the same day? Honestly, the first month of K1 is not really that big a deal so skipping some days are fine. Let the child attend both on the same day or alternative day and see her feeling on either one. I don't recommend to stay with both for long since it couldn't be quite tough.

Hi, Ian
The reason she think it could happen due to LH TKO Campus schedule to be open by around Oct-Nov. GHS will be starting by Sep and they are also living at Lohas, Tko. And it makes her chance to try the GHS by the first 2 months and further can see the result and how's the girl react if going to 2 Kindergarten.
However, since she has been already jumping the step to the last and she is scare by she needs to make the decision very soon which one to be choose. What will be your opinion of both school ?
Is her decision too aggressive due to both of this two schools are newly set up ?
LH, I personally think their set up might be a bit organize than GHS due to the hardware is available but new Campus. But again, GHS has the back up and basically, GHS and LH might be a good combination if the kids+parents can suffer.
So, do you think both Kindergarten is running happy kinder concept ? Can that be a combination ?
thanks for your comment.

Hi maewmaew,
I guess the concern which I have on both are they are newly setup. I think LH is quite a happy style but GH..... really can't tell. With their primary school, I really not sure if they would run a relax type.
Anyway, I heard about LH Lohas Park will start late so just go ahead and study in GH first and decide. I would say if GH has some elements they like, may as well stay since having primary backup is a luxury to have. (Only 1,000 students every year can have a guarantee primary seat as they enter kindergarten)

Oh!! It's such a good news to us as I'm still considering which kindergarten should my daughter go to.
今日去咗聖保羅堂交費, 發覺老師偏愛男仔, 聽見A老師問隔離個B老師: 點解今年多咗咁多女仔架??... 表情有點不悅... 咁B老師就答: 女仔唔好咩?? A老師苦面咁答: 咁又唔係... ... 見到d老師多喜愛與男小朋友交談... 不其然心裏有點不安... 知道有些家長選擇入讀真的是因為多小朋友會入讀st paul boy小學...

Oh, haha, actually I forgot this topic was related to SHCK tim! So sorry as so many other parents raised relevant questions on other girls' kindergartens! I was wondering why suddenly someone mention about lucky draw for SHCSPS and just confirm it.
So you also went to SHCK to pay for uniforms and books earlier this week too? Still cannot decide? Better do it soon 'coz really both are popular choices and many are still waiting..... but sure you must find out more and decide.
Sure St. Paul's Church has more boys and that is a natural fact. Higher percentage of their students do to St. Paul's college (boys) but that is just above 10%! Quite interesting conversation that you picked up!

Ian, thanks for your reply. I'm still struggling cause I really want to choose the "right" kindergarten for my daugther.
adv: As my friend told me that SPC puts more effort on 德育培養, so their graduates always get good marks in tests/exams in primary schools as they have self-discipline. 我認為幼稚園最重要不是著重灌輸學術知識, 而是學習態度. So that's why I choose this school.
Ian, how about SHCK? As I know, this is also a very good kindergarten and has primary and secondary school ...
I know I must make a decision soon... Ian, can you help?

It is the same, SHCK main focus is also on moral education, it is also a "healthy" kindergarten so snacks arranged at kinder are all healthy foods.

Hi Ian,
I read most of your articles and as a father, you have spent a lot of time in the Hong Kong education system. I really appreciate your time and effort and I am looking forward to reading your book and your advice to other parents in BK.
My daughter will go to K1 in the coming Aug 2010. I am living in TKO and have already secured a seat at Lam Tin Ling Liang Kindergarten (she is studying N1 there and she likes this kindergarten very much). We are waiting for TL at Tai Hang but the results will only be announced in Aug 2010. We have already written 4 letters to TL to ask for a seat.
1. Do you think the chance to go to TL is minimal under waiting list?
2. Given my current situation, if TL really accepts my daughter, should I go (my major concern is traffic and 2 more babies (1B & 1G) will be coming)?
Thanks for your advice in advance.
作者: iantsang 時間: 10-6-6 12:46
hi siufafa,
Yes it really takes a lot of time..... 
Concerning your waiting list situation in TL, I think in general the "game" with the waiting list is really how sincere you are and be able to let the kindergarten see that. I am no experts on how to write a really touching letter but I think one key is to be patience.
A lot of time parents have been dragged for too long emtionally and cannot stay with the waiting too long. There are always a lot of last minute changes which cause a chain of seats to be re-open at the last minute.
Concerning whether it is good to go to TL from TKO, I guess that depends on any plans to move or staying in TKO. Also, financially if having 3 kids to private school is in your plan or you have other plan. Because you would lose the 5 extra points for the first which can benefit the younger sibling to follow in the same school. Private schools doesn't have such privilege.
