dear all Mammies,

i decided to apply PN for my little son only a month ago... so most kindergartens' deadlines are gone.... but i applied for York anyway since most people said it is a good one..... they sent me interview slip for Dec 30. i am wondering, is it actually the second round inteview???? mostly PM vacancies?

作者: 大白豬 時間: 11-12-5 11:25

not the second round, they have arranged several rounds of interview since Aug. I think the vacancies is limited now.

However, many parents will give up York once they got better offer (e.g. SC, KM, LH, HKPS, etc). It still has chance. Add oil.

作者: maggiemai77 時間: 11-12-5 11:27

thanks for your info... but HKPS no hope lar... i phoned them in Nov7 and they said they wont have any vacancy left.... you think LH is better than York?? how come i saw lots of parents here comment York better than LH though?

作者: maggiemai77 時間: 11-12-5 11:29

currently, i got offer from Funful but my husband doesnt like it that much since the interview only last for 5 mins..... too casual, isnt it??? do you know anything about the Good Health in MA on shan?? i am going for interview next Sat....

york之前慕道班事件影響好多家長對佢的觀感. 我有2個朋友的囡囡都係lh讀緊pn, 佢地comments都好好. 學費和雜費平過york.

不過so far我對york的評價係正面的. 初初報york都係諗住做backup. 不過聽完簡介會和去完interview後, 我覺得校長和老師都好有心. 係禮堂熱身時, 校長有親身一齊唱歌跳舞(你話門面野都好啦), 真係唔錯.

咁我覺得又唔可以用INTERVIEW幾耐黎決定間學校好唔好~ 我暫時IN左5間(包括方方), 間間都係幾分鐘架咋~ 比較起上黎方方算耐TIM~ 同埋個個B都咁細, IN得耐佢地都辛苦~

我囡囡都係Dec 30 in, 想請問媽媽們係咪一定要預備Video? 亞囡咩都未識, 頭痛中!

作者: 小豬mama 時間: 11-12-6 21:54

我自己有交，好似話係BB表現不太好時老師會用來參考，佢地未必一定睇，咁都幾好呀，就算表現麻麻都仲有機！

其實交都係表示誠意，你都唔駛太大壓力，普通錄段生活片段便可！

而家學位唔多，而你又想讀，最好交足功課。老師係面試時會開黎睇一陣，我果時錄左同囡囡做勞作仔的片段。

作者: 小豬mama 時間: 11-12-6 22:53

大白豬,

你IN時老師有睇嗎? 我IN時佢只係問我可否留低隻碟, 我都唔知佢哋有無睇!

作者: kartimmi 時間: 11-12-6 23:49

我小朋友in時有開黎睇,跟住都有留低隻碟,反而勞作就睇一睇,唔需要留低

我果時係將平時錄左的生活片段cut成2分鐘短片(因為好難影一段片成2分鐘咁長)..有平時返Playgroup,睇書同游水咁

我in時有睇，睇左30s左右。跟住就留低左隻碟話遲d會再睇。

作者: 小豬mama 時間: 11-12-7 09:55

ICIC...

我就沒有睇, 老師叫我留低隻碟!
我都認同如果媽咪有心想讀呢間學校, 就最好交埋隻碟同親子手工去啦!

唔好意思, 我有點混淆 , 可否用手機裡既短片比佢睇 , 定要copy一隻DVD碟老師 ?

你地指佢會開黎睇, 係指即場load隻DVD ?

係將個movie燒落隻碟到。課室裡有一部電腦，老師會開黎睇下read唔read到個movie. 跟住就開始問家長問題。

有個program叫"格式工廠"可以幫你將手機video檔案轉成DVD格式！是免費的！之後將D檔案燒出DVD即可！
希望幫到你

即係係咪一定要係DVD format, 燒過file (e.g. mp4) 係隻碟到得唔得?

作者: loveannis 時間: 11-12-10 12:44

我都系用VCD的，而我見到一齊in的另一位家長只系播iphone的片段都ok，
另外我一個朋友咩都無（artwork都無），但都有am offer

作者: 大白豬 時間: 11-12-10 21:44 標題: 回復 27# cy36baby 的帖子

唔一定，我只係燒個movie file落隻碟度。我諗最好個movie format 可以係window media player播得到。

作者: ta__ta 時間: 11-12-10 22:31

有心讀一定要預備 video & artwork 以示誠意, 而家得返好少位，仲有好長的 waiting list.

除非你諗住博五月放返d 位出黎。

My son is currently studying full day PN class @ Good Health Ma On Shan.

Since my son was born in October, he started his school in November. So it's around 1 month now.

I think it's quite good. There are around 13 students in a class, 1 teacher and 1 assistant. There is 25 minutes of English by NET everyday. My son can now tell his English name when we asked him in English. His name is actually hard to pronounce.
I think all the staff are nice. My son was crying when we arrived in his school. He was willing to let the vice-supervisor to carry him to his classroom. I asked if my son likes his teacher, he always say yes! He likes to sing the songs he learnt from school at home. The school campus is big with very good facilty.

Actually, I got offer from Ming Wai (Prince Edware) before. But I think it's too far away, I don't want my son take school bus at this stage. So I applied Good Health.

What else do you want to know?

I got offer from York International. I would take the offer if I got no offer from those Dragon schools.

校長應該係話佢會安排一啲叻啲嘅bb(大槪係年頭出世嘅bb）入一個叫做head start programme嘅班，作重點培訓，所以2月份會有一啲位空出黎收插班。

Today, I have the interview at York finally! The arrangement is quite good since there is no need to queue! And I see not many candidates wor! Just wonder how many group of interview they have every day and how many days they will hold the interview!
BTW, there is a group sing & play before the formal interview. Is it counted towards the mark? I didn't see any teachers giving marks!

It's just like a playgroup time! Then the $30 application fee is worthwhile!
BTW, the interview teacher told me that the school was quite pushy!

And anyone of you heard about their school fee? My friend told me that K1 class incl. afternoon time activities would be around $10,000~

作者: ksyip 時間: 11-12-31 11:23

the additional activities held in afternoon is optional; but I was told that the mandatory school fee + misc. fee > over $7K lar .... so expensive ....

Maggiemei77, do the question is"Can any York mammy share the feeling of expensive fee?"

Yes, I think the fee is quite expensive. 但希望一分錢一分貸，小囡英語能力高。不過york收小女先算。

作者: MAMA-BEANBEAN 時間: 12-1-4 19:53

MY GAL IS CURRENTLY IN K1 (YORK CALLED N1) IN YORK INTERNATIONAL. THE SCHOOL FEE IS HK$4,200.00 PER MONTH.
I BELIEVE THE LOCAL STREAM IS HK$3,600.00 PER MONTH.

WE NEED TO PAY THE SCHOOL BUS ADDITIONALLY AROUND HK$855.00 PER MONTH FROM EAST KOWLOON TO KOWLOON TONG & THE SNACK IS HK$300.00 PER MONTH (YOU CAN BRING FOOD / DRINK ON YOUR OWN IF YOU DON'T ORER THE SNACK FROM SCHOOL).

THE MISCELLANEOUS FEE IS APROX. HK$1,700.00 OR SOMETHING FOR THE 1st TERM & IT'S LESSER ON THE 2nd TERM TOTALLY AROUND HK$3,400.00 FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.

THE COST OF SCHOOL BAG / SNACK BAG / UNIFORMS ARE EXCLUSIVE BUT I THINK IS O.K. & QUALITY IS PRETTY NICE OTHER THAN THE CARDIGAN.

NO EXTRA FEE I NEED TO PAY SO FAR COS WE DO NOT JOIN THE ECA EXCEPT THE DONATION TO CHARITY (ONE TIME ONLY SO FAR BUT IT'S NOT COMPLUSORY) SO....IT'S ABOUT HK$6,000.00 ALL-INCLUDE PER MONTH FOR INTERNATIONAL STREAM.

BUT I THINK THE ENTIRE FEE WE PAID IS COMPETITIVE FROM WHAT MY GAL GETS FROM THE TEACHING SO FAR. MY GAL LIKES THE SCHOOL / HER TEACHERS MUCH & ENJOYS THE TEACHING. SHE ALWAYS SINGS LOT OF DIFFERENT ENGLISH / CHINESE SONGS LEARNT FROM SCHOOL, THAT WE DO NOT EXPECT ACTUALLY.
SHE ALSO CAN HANDLE / ANSWER MOST OF THE HOMEWORKS THAT WE HAVE NEARLY EVERYDAY.

THE CURRICULUM IS QUITE PUSHY BUT IT DOES LAYS THE PATH TO APPLY THE PRIVATE / DSS SCHOOLS THAT I THINK MOST OF THE PARENTS (FROM YORK) ARE AIMING AT THOSE SCHOOLS.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

PLS NOTE THE SCHOOL FEE I MENTIONED IS FOR K1(N1), NOT PN.

I JUST READ A POST FROM MUMMY SAYING YORK IS KIND OF A TRAINING CENTRE RATHER THAN A GOOD KINDER.
I DON'T THINK, AS THE FACT THAT, SHE / HE GETS THE KID STUDYING IN YORK BUT JUST GAVE THEIR QUITE UNFRIENDLY COMMENTS WITH THE HEARSAY OR IMMIGINATIONS. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY EVEN KNOW MORE THAN US THOSE HAVE KIDS GET THE SCHOOLING IN YORK.

I HOPE THEY CAN EXPLORE THEIR INSIGHT FURTHER WHY TO DEFINE YORK AS " TRAINING CENTRE", HOW COME IT'S A COMMERCIAL KINDER WHILST ANOTHER WELL- KNOWN KINDER LIKE SC/ KV/ KM ARE NOT ? THEIR CIRRICULUMS ARE ALSO VERY PUSHY & MANY OF THE PARENTS TOOK EXTRA TEACHING OUTTHERE TO MAKE SURE THEIR KIDS CAN GET THE OFFERS FROM DSS / PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

HOPE BEING A PARENT THOSE CAN BE MORE RESPONSIBLE & RESPECTFUL.

thanks MAMA-BEANBEAN for sharing.
其實自12月交左留位費之後(PN),
身邊就不斷有好多唔同既意見.
綜觀BAD COMMENTS 都只不過話係好COMMERCIAL既學校...
我想問下你... 你覺得係YORK 讀既小朋友品德如何.
其他同學仔會唔會好無禮貌... 會唔會對眼生係額頭倒？

作者: MAMA-BEANBEAN 時間: 12-1-10 14:52

㸃解你會咁講呢？你話對眼生係額頭真係好好笑，好幽默。我覺得他們整體比較活潑䦕朗（只限我所認識的和我囡一起坐校車的）每當我和他們打招付時他們都很有禮貌回應我，不會害羞。但我感覺YORK不會重點於德育之培養而是把此留待家長去做。這點是我個人意見吧了。
有一件事可以分享下：我家樓下住了一個女孩讀（K1)KCX於北角。第一次見到係電梯時佢媽咪問我囡在那裏讀書我話YORK佢個樣即時好難睇然後話我知佢囡讀邊間。我同佢個囡SAY HELLO 佢囡毫無反應.唉！
咁前幾日早上返學同電梯。我囡問佢個囡＂你讀邊間學校呀？＂問了3次佢囡都無反應仲縮係佢阿媽後面。作為家長，係咪應該教自己個囡答人，但佢MUMMY浄係話＂佢咪同某某一間學校囉＂。我覺得品德真係小朋友自身環境培養出來。不可全靠學校。（只是我個人經驗分享吧了）

Oh ic , 係蘇浙, 乜你個neighbor咁既, 讀咩學校關佢咩事呢, 點解d反應好似覺得人地入左黑幫咁既, 哈哈!! 入一間好好既幼稚園只係小朋友發展同學習既其中一個里程, 父母既身教先會令小朋友終身受用, 首先要識得尊重別人先啦!!!

作者: km_chung 時間: 12-1-12 15:17

所以好難單憑一兩個case就決定學校好唔好,太大外圍因素影響!!!

要教好一個小朋友,點可能單靠每日三小時係學校呢? 我反而希望學校教好學術知識,令小朋友喜歡學習,品德情操就要靠我同老公以身作則,以及所有家人的配合喇~

父母永遠都係影響小朋友做人的態度,其實無論名校與否,我都唔信學校會教壞學生呢!

各位家長,好好努力!
