$50萬沒有可能！學校講明幼稚園一定要買$300債券入學！亦不是你想買就有！

作者: flextone 時間: 13-12-23 01:50 標題: 回覆：sagesage 的帖子

除了幼稚園先要，其他級別就不用買債券？

作者: sagesage 時間: 13-12-23 09:58 標題: 回覆：flextone 的帖子

好似每年$5萬如不比債券，但入學機會等於零。

我個囡系果到讀緊, 今年第二年了. 首先, 國內人如果佢唔識英文, 同埋講唔到流利英文系多數唔會收的.

第二, 已經第二年了, 英文系閱讀, 寫文, 做報告等, 好多方面都可以令小朋友學到好多世界視野, 所以好多我估而家中六既同學都識既英文, 同串字, 佢地已經識.

第三, 我送返學時, 唔去草地玩既小朋友, 多數系坐系地下睇緊小說的. 不論低年級及高年級. 而且每星期老師會一對一評估小朋友既閱讀能力, 讀得到文字, 但唔流暢都唔可以升grade, 所以每個小朋友都睇緊唔同grading 既chapter book.

而家你想比錢買債券都無得買, 而且果d錢唔系捐比佢架, 系有息比番架.

老師個list上晒website, 90%系英國過黎的. 英文絕對native.

紀律捉得好嚴, 上緊堂同同學傾計, 扣分, 食飯食唔晒, 又或者唔食菜唔加分等.

My friend told me there are many HK students in the secondary section who are transferred from local schools such as DGS, DBS and St. Paul and who are boarding students. In the primary section where their kid studies, many are children of expatriates and teachers. There are some children from Mainland but many of them are born overseas.

Guiding Principles

There are a number of important guiding principles that influence the admissions procedures:

1.    The Education Bureau stipulates that:
- No more than 50% of places can be given to local pupils with Hong Kong passports only.
- At least 50% of all pupils from Year 6 and above must be boarders (weekly or full).

2.    Applications from pupils from Mainland China, Macau and Taiwan can only be considered if:
- The parents have Hong Kong residency and the necessary supporting documentation. Such students are then deemed to be local Hong Kong students.
- The student holds an additional overseas passport eligible for entry to Hong Kong.

3.    English is the only inclusive language of the School and applicants must be proficient in it in order to access the full range of the curriculum and to be able to contribute positively to the School community.

4.    The House structure in the Upper School means there must be a balance between boarders and day pupils, as well as boys and girls in each year group: this has consequences on admissions in the Lower School and the availability of places at any one time in a particular year group.

Have you watched one of the RTHK program earlier interviewing a University Lecturer and her two kids admitted to Harrow. Harrow's definition of proficiency may be different from mine.

Poor kid. He has been quoted by Shadeslayer for many many times in this forum. I hope he or his parents are not reading this forum - always being finger pointed and blamed for having inadequate oral English. I hope parents here say more positive words and encourage one another.

I did not blame them. They are not worse than any typical HK people. Their English is is even good if they are studying in a typical HK school. My finger is pointed to Harrow's alleged high requirement of English as an admission policy. It is either a problem of my understanding of proficient English, or the school does not stay true to who they say they will admit.

3. English is the only inclusive language of the School and applicants must be proficient in it in order to access the full range of the curriculum and to be able to contribute positively to the School community.

就個人理解，佢話 "proficient in it", 係有解釋＂in order to access the full range of the curriculum and to be able to contribute positively to the School community."
簡單d講即係同人溝通到，聽得到老師敎學就足夠！個兩個細路有咁㗎英文水準就足夠入學！要求講得好好 or 係native speaker? 我覺唔需要！你可以話佢地講得無想像咁好！

如果唔係，人地應該會話" proficient in speaking it as native speaker."

作者: YauMum 時間: 14-1-18 14:43

If my memory is right the younger one was required to improve his English and took the second entrance test after a few months time. He then got the place.

The program did not mention the rest of the test result. It is not fair to comment his English standard on one aspect (spoken) only

In fact, he is in junior form, he still have a lot of time to improve his spoken English.

Please give him a break, a chance, he is still young, he still has time to improve on all aspects.

On a side issue, many local school students are admitted to top UK boarding schools but I think not many of them can speak native or near native English. But they can survive in that English environment as they can understand lectures and communicate with others. Unfortunately, it's too late for them to pick up any native English as they have learned the HK style English all along. Anyway, they usually produce good public exam results for the schools. I have seen many of these students.

There is a huge gap between the two kids and native. I never say proficient is native.

Spoken English in lower forms is arguably more important than say writing and reading.

I have said before I did not mean they cannot improve. I mean I do not share Harrow's interpretation of proficiency. This and only this meaning. Anything else is your imagination. I think my expectation is reasonable given Harrow's standing as a prestigious school.

大家唔使估估下啦，我親身上過HARROW度問，佢地n班只係得10個學位，全部都只係會比老師既仔囡去讀，一路直升的，去到小一先開始多左一班大約15個位左右，即係話如果街外人(唔係哈囉教師)，你有錢都無得比位你讀。
第二係而家唔會再有咩幾十萬果D，一定一定係要一筆過比300萬買債券，到小朋友唔再讀哈囉/畢業時可以賣番比學校，但學校會CHARGE番D行政費之類，果度大約係60萬左右，果300萬係唔會升值的，所以計番其實你係會蝕左60萬出黎的。

其實好多資料學校website都有，可以自己睇，唔好聽人亂講。PN一班15人，staff優先
K1 2班，每班16人
K2 2班，每班18人
Early year 一定要買三百萬debenture
Yr1 3班，每班22人
每年分3個terms,今個spring term yr1 lunch fee 喺 $2280
Yr 1及以上可以選擇買三百萬 debenture, 六十萬 debenture or 唔買, 唔買每年要俾多5萬學費，高班特別喺外國人其實好多都無買，亦入到。
六十萬debenture 讀完退錢，無利息，不可轉讓
三百萬debenture 唔讀可在市場上轉讓，賺到錢要同學校對分無另外費用，除非學校唔收個學生，基本上無得退錢
學校應該好似仲有得賣，所以暫時無乜轉讓價值。
學校理論上唔可以收國內人，如果想讀一定要有香港永久居民身份or外國護照。
香港學生不可超過50%
有乜唔明可以打去問，Staff非常幫得手

So thats about $1000 per month. There are around 20 school days per month, so it works out to be $50 per meal, which isn't outrageous if it is a proper meal.

Harrow 是新校，卻又積極參與本港國際學校的各類活動，看得出其積極動力，然在各色活動中，暫時未見突出，估計是教和學還未進入狀態。
如果孩子能力高，家長錢銀多，有本錢的應該多等幾年，待學校的運作上了軌道才報讀也不遲。

学校在各方面的参与十分积极, 可取是老师一点也不朵懒, 另是输得起的心态, 孩子见识广, 有投入度, 是培养宗合能力不可或缺的. 作为新校, 这点心态十分阳光, 值得欣赏!

From their web site : Resident in each House is a House Master or House Mistress, a Resident House Tutor and, in Prep Houses, a GAP Tutor. However, the team of non-resident tutors (Upper School teachers) in each House are also very much involved in the supervision and monitoring of activities in the Houses in the evenings and at weekends. A fundamental aspect of boarding life is the creation of a close-knit, family atmosphere in which boarders can feel that it is their home during term time. Therefore, the boarding House must be a place in which all students feel happy, secure and valued and the prime responsibility for developing this falls to the House Masters and House Mistresses.
