係唔係有得申請資助? Yes you can apply.
一班大約有幾多人啊?30
有幾多班主任? 2 each class
在校用什麼語言教書嗎? English for English subject and the rest in Mandarin
小朋友在校開心嗎?
I have two kids studying there, the elder one loves it, but since the younger one is there only for 1 week so it is early to tell.

Generally speaking, I love PK.

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-3 22:10

One thing I want to add is that, it is not easy to get in PK, last year there were 2000 applicants and they only had 150 seats, so if you want to apply, act early.

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-3 22:13

Sorry my mistake, they did not take 150, only 120 ...4 classes each year.

咁資助難唔難申請?
這校是活動教學嗎?

請問你小朋友在普通話學習上有困難嗎? 在升小一前是否需要先上普通話班才能適應? 另外學校對小朋友的品德培養重視嗎? 程度深不深呢? 還需要在外參加補習班嗎?

實在心儀這所小學, 但身邊人又話要考慮清楚, 評價不太好.
我相信問用家應該清楚些吧!

No, in fact, my son do not speak either cantonese or mandarin, he speaks on English, he is mixed.

PK is a very good school.

作者: ERICBB 時間: 10-9-6 00:53

Absolutely agreed ! Excellent school.

作者: kelvlam 時間: 10-9-10 00:38

ERICBB and HKdevil, out of curiosity which kindergarten did your children attend in the past?

Does PK has a particular preference of accepting certain kindergarten?

With such a tough competition, over 2000 applicants fighting over 120 spots... was it only because of the 一條龍, or it's cause good academic record, or it's cause of it's good 品格教育?

some caution people regarding their "紅色背景" also... was that ever a concern?

thank you for sharing

作者: Regina.yip 時間: 10-9-10 21:00

對於"紅色"背景, 我真的不大感覺到, 由簡介會到家長會也没有提過有關它的背景事宜.

我喜愛它的敎學安排, 上午上課, 下午活動課. 不像我們以往讀小學時, 一大清早上體育課, 用完了所有精力, 才開始上正規課, 累得很, 無心機上課.

而且, 它把drama課加在正規課堂內, 非常好.

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-10 23:26

my son was from 聖心，actually he was not accepted in the first place even tho his sister was already studying there, but I kept on writing to the principal and after three letters from me and two letters from my daughter, he is finally accepted for which I was so very happy, I only applied for two schools for my son, BDS and PK, and PK was my top priority.

As to the reason why I choose PK,

1, i like the teaching method, they adopt a flexible one and one that used by interntional school, thus children learn in fun way, and does not mean they know less.
2. it is through-train, thus I need not to look again for secondary,
3. it has super grand campus thus, children can learn and grow in good environement
4. it is mandarin is excellent, I want my children to be good at two languages.
5. it has one exam a year
6. my daughter really loves it
7. the list goes on...

BUT the only thing i do not like about PK is their uniform, I think they are super ugly!

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-10 23:31

Sorry spelling mistake, it should DBS, not BDS.

Did your son get accepted by DBS? If yes, has your decision in favour of PK ever been queried by those "well-meaning" friends and relatives after the fact? If no, would your choice be different had your son been offered a place by DBS?

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-11 23:07

No he was not accepted by DBS, but I would still take PK if he was accepted by both for two reasons, 1, DBS is a single sex school which I donot really like, 2, DBS does not use mandarin like PK.

Having said that my elder daughter is in DGS upon her own choosing, I did ask her to change to SP Co-ed but she refused.

Thanks for the reply. I certainly would quote your case for the reference of Little Him's parents. Unlike this uncle who has undergone the "baptism" of the traditional "prestigious" school and been disillusioned, they have all the wishful thinkings of the typical Hong Kong parents in the street when it comes to brand names.

作者: kelvlam 時間: 10-9-12 17:58

Seem like all the current student's parent Regina.yip and ERICBB and HKdevil giving PK a 2-thumbs up

Can some of the current parents comment on their 品格教育 then? I think academic record are fairly good, but other than that I am sure all parents will worry about their Children's 德行.

I ask because most of the "international school" education style, the kids are more free and can go really "wild"...

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-12 19:10

As regard to conduct, I really do not see any problem, I myself is a liberal parents, they are allowed to reason with me and i would say sorry if they are right.

As far as I know, PK allows kids to run and to play during recess without any restrictions which is something i like and encourage them to speak up.

To be honest I donot like those traditional school where they would stop kids from talking even during queuing time.

I believe the kids conducts are the mainly the responsibility of parents, pls do not rely too much on the school.
So far I do not see anything wrong with PK in this regard.

But what exacty is your concern?

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-12 19:11

Also pk encourage recycle with old uniforms and donation for good causes etc...

作者: kelvlam 時間: 10-9-12 23:47

thanks for your sharing HKdevil! We are liberal parent too, we reason with our daughter and explain to her with reason. Our concern is just some International School have a tough time to teach "respect" to the kid. They are too free-form, free-style that kids run around and screaming/yelling like child-gone-wild... I have seen kids got bruised cause they we just "playing" too rough...
Of course, all these same concern can still happen in traditional style schooling in Hong Kong.

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-13 00:23

Well my son has just started school for two weeks, and he has two bruises already.
But i consider that normal.

作者: A-Mum 時間: 10-9-13 19:54

Hi HKdevil! Can your girl help give some comments on her classmates in DGS & PKC? Any important differences?

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-9-13 23:39

It is very difficult to compare, my elder girl is in secondary, while the other two are in primary, besides, my elder has never attended DGJS so I can not compared DGJS with PK primary section.

But my elder girl has a lot of home work while my other two kids has little.

作者: kitypang 時間: 10-10-8 10:06 標題: 想幫女兒轉校

本人女兒就讀大圍某小學的三年班,因功課及某科老師給與太大壓力,令她每天放學後,仍要拖著疲累的身軀,一邊說累,一邊哭的做功課做至晚上八點幾,期間,她為了要讓自己清醒及能集中精神,仲多次要求去洗面,看見女兒的情況,我真的很擔心她的壓力總有一天爆煲.

因此,我想了解有關轉校問題,在這兒,我看到"培僑"是一間活動式教學的學校,也受到家長喜愛,這所學校的功課量會很多嗎??平均每天會有多少功課??(小女現就讀的學校,每天平均有7-8樣)而"培僑"的進評數量,一年會有多少次??(小女現就讀的學校,一年會有4次進評及4次總評的),還有的是....培僑的老師會否對孩子很兇??(小女就是怕了現在某科的老師,因為她看見某同學默書改正時錯字,便被罰抄50次,弄至她做功課時要小心奕奕的,不停的寫完又擦,擦完又寫,即使只是4版補充都要做成5個幾鐘~)

最後,我也想了解要申請做培僑的插班生會很困難嗎??需要甚麼條件呢??

感謝各家長解答本人之疑問,謝謝!

作者: puikiufriend 時間: 10-10-8 21:07

您好！

您提到的問題都是傳統學校常見的，就是功課多，考試測驗多。這是現實，不容易改變。不過，您說您的女兒每天晚上做功課做至八點多，這對部分傳統學校的學生來說，這是小兒科，因為他們一般都做到十點，甚至是十一點。反過來，我擔心的是你女兒的情緒問題，您要瞭解她除了因為累而哭以外，還有什麼原因。而後針對這些原因幫助她才是最佳解決辦法。

至於培僑每天平均有2-3樣功課，一般一個到一個半小時內就能完成。而"培僑"的進評數量,一年只有一少次。培僑的老師對孩子一般都不兇。要申請做培僑的插班生會很困難，但是可以嘗試及鍥而不捨的敲門才有一線希望。

祝您好運！

作者: FatBear 時間: 10-11-24 12:35

HK Devil,
I have the same concern as Kelvlam. I like the things you like about PK, maindarin teaching, children are respect to voice out their mind. But givne that morale is a person's core or ultimate success and happiness factor PK's free styled school is the main reason that deter me from enrolling. A person's morale is very important and it's not only shaped by the parents values but also all those people that the child interacts with in the school, on the the school bus and just anyone could contribute to his/her values or beliefs. Would you not agree that a professional who has low morale standard (do anything to achieve their goals or simply shows no respect for others) is damaging to the society and his/her family? Morale is the utmost of a person's value.
My first child is now in a local school with some morale problems so that's why I want to be sure for my second child that PK is the right school for our children. We could not afford time to keep on looking and changing school for our children.
your information is vital for us
thank you

how did your child get the bruises?

作者: ononchu 時間: 10-11-24 14:53

Dear Pui Kiu parents,

I have two sons, one studying in Pui Kiu and the other one in K3 now.  While the result of admission to Pui Kiu 2011/12 has yet to be announced, I would like to seek your advice about school selection for my little son.

Undoubtedly, Pui Kiu is a good school.  I find that my elder son enjoys his school life and he said that he likes his school.  Pui Kiu allows the kids to run around the playground during the recess time.  They can also choose activtiy that they like during the free time.  So, the school is very liberal and it has room for one to develop.

Moreover, the language environment in Pui Kiu is also sound.  The teachers are very professional and they have a heart for education.  I find that my son's spoken Mandarin and English has steady improvement over the years and I would attribute this to the success of school.  (in Pui Kiu, even the public announcement are made bilingual in Mandarin and English).

My concern over Pui Kiu is : in comparison with other well-known established tradtional schools, would its academic performance be lower in standard?

My worry is based on my elder son's performance in written work (be it with Chinese or English).  Indeed, it is not uncommon for me to spot wrongly written Chinese characters in his Chinese work.  His English writing always contains spelling and grammatical mistakes. (It seems that it is the school's policy not to correct the mistakes, fearing that students' interest in writing be discouraged)

Sometimes, I feel very insecure and wonder how would my son perform when he promotes to higher grades?  Is the "problem" due to my over-worry and my misunderstanding over the school's direction?

Should I choose Pui Kiu for my little son, if only I have the chance to choose?  (The compeition is so keen and it is not a guarantee that siblings got admitted)

Hi ononchu,

my girl is also in PKC G3 and younger one in K3.My older girl has the same problem as your older one.  Which grade is your he/she in?  I discuss with her teacher and she said most kids will have more difficulty in written works.  I found her a tutor who also said that my daughter's spoken English is very good, just need some fine tune for her to adapt into writing.  She is doing fine now after 2-3 months of tutoring.

The best thing I like about the school is the kids love reading.  This is very difficult to find in traditional school as they don't have much time left after so much homework to do.  She can now read those English chapter books for over 200 pages by herself and finishes very fast.  Her project are very creative and my husband and I love it.

I do not find any problem with discipline with my girl.  Sometimes she told me that some kids in her class are very naughty.  I think this is normally and happens in every school.  I have no doubt that the kids in this school are happy and they are proud to be there.

作者: ononchu 時間: 10-11-25 12:01

Hi macaw，

Thanks for your response. Perhaps I should take an opportunity to talk with the teacher of my son as well. By the way, he is also in G3, same as your daughter.

Wow!! Your daughter is really great in reading.

For my son, he also enjoys reading but his level is not as great as your daughter.

Yes, due to the less homework in Pui Kiu, it allows kids to have room to do things that they learn, be it be reading or playing.  This is the thing that I like Pui Kiu.  Nevertheless, sometimes I do worry about the level of my son's academics.  Frankly, sometimes this shakens my belief for Pui kiu (and its approach of happy, activity based learning).  I am really in a dilema cause I do not want my son to be burdened with the endless homework and examintations in traditional schools (but are tempted by their apprarenly better academic performance)?!

Sometimes I wonder perhaps it is not the problem of the school.  After all, each kid has different ability and maybe the problem rests with my son. That's why I am strugging the right type of school for my little son.

Hi ononchu,

I never enjoyed my school years in HK.  I did very very good in primary but then I did not do very good in secondary as I hate it when they asked me to recite those things written by others, follow steps laid down by teachers.  I did very well after leaving HK.

Don't worry about that much.  Rather then making them hate study, let them have some happy time when they are kids.  They will find their way later when they get older.  I do not find their academic is behind other school.  Their Chinese iseven harder than most traditional school.  Mathsis same as others.  English is good.  But your worry happens to most HK parents who were bought up by the HK system.

I was reluctant to find a tutor for her in the beginning as I never been to tutoring in my life.  I am quite against it.  But some kids do need help. My elder daughter is one of them.  May be you should try to look for a tutor.  Don't go to the conventional tutor, I found her a native speaking tutor who understand how their school teaches.

作者: ononchu 時間: 10-11-25 19:13

Hi macaw,

Thanks very much indeed for your response. You make me feel better.

Your experience is a good one that I should always remember.  It is really a pity if one doesn't have a happy childhood, no matter how good his/her academic level is.

Does your kid find difficulty in handling the Chinese subject?  My kid finds it hard to do the "Yu Wen Nian Xi" on his own.  Just wonder whether you need to give a lot of guidance to your daughter.  (Actually I find it hard to do it  by myself sometimes and I may not come up with the answers readily.)

Does your kid need any tutoring on Chinese?  (I am considering about this but just wonder it is too hard to find a suitable one, particular in view of their syllabus)

Very accurate description. That is what I like about PKC.

作者: HKdevil 時間: 10-11-29 00:21

Sorry I have just read your question now, so sorry for the delay.

To answer your other question, my son got the bruises by running and falling when chasing with other kids..which is normal.

As regard to morale, yes I regard it very highly, especially so when we are all christians. But I donot understand why there is a problem, do you hear anything on this regard about PK?

I have two kids studying there now and I am very very happy with PK, especially with my youngest son, he can now read mandarin perfectly(he did not speak a word or read mandarin before he went to PK).

And I do not see morale is a issue at PK either, the example you gave is very extreme, but to assure you I do not encounter any morale problem so far so can not really tell you much.

In fact I have personally experienced very happy occassions when dealing with teachers at PK, generally speaking they are efficient and professional.

Both of my kids love PK and my younger daughter would be attending its form 1 next year .

I hope you can answer your questions.

培僑的學生大部份都是活潑自信, 他們都較活躍, 不怕羞, 勇於表達, 這與學校選生有關, 因為要配合教學模式.
本人就很喜歡及認同培僑的教學理念, 學習輕鬆但絕對可以學到很多知識, 課程絕不簡單, 而且可以培養小孩樂天, 健談, 自信的性格, 在思維發展方面有很大的空間.
本人覺得小孩在學知識之餘, 思維發展及樂天性格亦很重要, 因為將來要面對社會上的種種事情, 要懂得處理.
