My son has the offer of ESF in Tsing Yi, anyone can share the learning environment and programs there? Thanks!

作者: oooray 時間: 15-2-10 13:22

I was a TY parent but i am not going to share those learning environment and programs, as my info. may be a bit out-dated.
In old days, many parents applied ESF kindy (there were no play visit at my time, having an offer was merely lucky draw) but some of them did not know why they chose, what the school would provide, or they did not know what they really wanted to have, struggling between the offers from IS and other famous local kindy.
If you are one them, think thoroughly about the education route you really want in the future. It is not a place to improve English skill.
If you have had enough preparation to go for the IS stream, I would like to congratulate you and you will have a good start. Just follow the school's philosophy, provide extra nourishment if required, and you will be on the way to your goal.
If you have more than enough offers from different IS kindies, it will be a hard time for you to choose your best.

Thanks for your sharing!
Learnt from their website, they will teach phonics through play activities. Can you please share which phonic system are they following (e.g. letterland, jolly phonics etc)? They generally follow Education Bureau's guideline to start writing at age 4 (i.e. K2)?

I do want my kids to learn phonics earlier and in a systematic way, such that they can be able to read by themselves earlier.

i have yet to hear any good comments on esf kindergarten, the best i heard is "it is okay". the primary reason to get in is to get priority for its primary school. So, lower your expectation and you will not be disappointed.

As a parent of two children, I went through quite a lot of different playgroups/kindergartens and my personal comment was that most of them were just doing the similar things, no matter how did they mention what and which methods they were using.

In my days, TY was in a big open area with partitions separating different classes.
I remember a teacher told me during the meeting they were using Jolly Phonics (but end up I didn't know what my children learned.).

Honestly speaking, I did not care what the curriculum was, and how they implemented as they stated in the website; and i have almost forgotten what was happening during that 2 years except fun.
My only purpose to be there was to train up to pass the interview, and had the priority to get a Year One place at ESF primary.

I suppose every IS kindergarten and primary are encouraging the importance of reading and have been providing a good environment to read but how early can a child read independently and how broad and deep he or she can read really depend upon the child's character, not the school herself.
If you do want your child to read more, you should not rely on the school. There are a lot of stuff you need to do at home to achieve your goal.

It is quite common to have arguments in internet forums, usually they would peter out after a while as participants start to lose interest, but digging up irrelevant old posts to continue the battle is getting a bit out of hand. Perhaps it is time for everyone to cool down.

I don't understand why people keep asking programmes of kindies. I think majority of kindies offer similar programmes (play for majority of the time) except some extreme local ones like KV would require kids to write difficult Chinese characters and keep scheduling dictations on regular basis. So I think parents should just need to understand if the teachers are caring and the path after the kindies (local vs IS).

I want you to know the whole picture ithat I posted to clarify about a school ( none of her business) and that senseless people smeared to me in the post and even do so in my old post! Moreover she thinks her English is top that always criticize others' English, but what a shame that her English is proved poor by another jm! Really feel embarrassed for his children to have such parent and I think she's famous too!

其實我見到既就係你不斷抬高自己小朋友讀既果間學校，而踩其他JMs，話佢地仔女讀寶校。
我相信你所指既寶校既小朋友將來未必比你小朋友差。所以凡事留一線啦！相信好多同你小朋友同班/同校既家長都知道你係邊個了！

HKTHK and Oooray,

I agree every word of your comments. ESF parents are embarrassed by this moonlight's behavior. Parents come to the forum to learn about the schools both good or bad before making a decision. Nowadays waitlists are long. It would be not easy to switch to other schools if that is not a right match.

I also have some friends from ESF primary and secondary. They could tell me the good things about ESF and they are aware of not so good things about ESF. We understand there are no such things of perfect schools. Every parents choose their schools based on their family preference.

The mom has already apologized but it's really hard to believe the mom, moonlight819 would react negatively to other parents in the forum. How will other parents dare to contribute their comments if only favorable commends are allowed?

我路過厚多士，其實大家為人父母，都係為自己子女著想，想知道自己揀既係咪最適合小朋友。可能係人地唔識婉轉問問題，令到其他人有hard feeling，我想原意唔係咁。坩白講，我同樓主一樣，仔仔都係讀緊 ESF Kindy K1，我都唔敢話自己係代表英基，只可以話半隻腳踏入，仲有好多唔識好多唔明，仲要請教其他前輩。至於入到ESF Kindy既家長都好明白，如果冇SB priority，係呢間non-selective既學校，入到Kindy既原因唔係自己個小朋友比其他人叻，而只係比其他小朋友好彩，抽到個好number所以收，咁既情況又有咩好踩人地小朋友讀寶校呢？！我自問，自己個仔仔唔係叻，真係好彩先入到，所以我好珍惜上天比我呢個機會入到呢間適合佢既學校。與其再係到互相指責對方，不如抽多d時間為小朋友準備考小學，快樂既時光過得好快，仲有一年就係要為小學煩惱，所以好好享受而家既時候啦！

ESF 學校多，因此 EK 其實有不少 ESF 家長，
我而家見到，唔係討論 ESF 有幾差，而係 "你" 的態度。
我仔女讀 RCHK ，任何 RCHK 和 ESF 家長，我都當佢地 "自己人"，
可以撐，盡量撐；有人講錯嘢，我盡量幫口補鑊。
你爬下文，我有出過 message 做 fireman 幫你救火。
到而家，我係幫唔落去。
ESF 係 IB school，可能你小朋友仍然細，未理咁多，
你建議你上 IBO 網頁，看看乜嘢係 IB 的 Learner Profile 的 10 個 qualities，
想想這是否乎合你的生活方式，再決定是否要留在 ESF。
