標題: RCHK - 想問由ESF 幼稚園升上去嘅家長對學校既評語 [打印本頁]

作者: VVhuilee    時間: 17-6-15 14:40     標題: RCHK - 想問由ESF 幼稚園升上去嘅家長對學校既評語

今年玩 "One application policy", 9月就要決定1st choice 報RC 定foundation school.

多年來, esf kinder 既家長都多數選擇 foundation school, 相信因為學費差別同RC 之前都算比較新.
但宜家都有10年歷史, 學費已經差唔多, 去完School tour 之後都好鍾意RC.  

我想問由ESF 幼稚園升上去嘅家長當初點解選擇RCHK 唔去foundation school?  

令外想問RCHK music lesson 有無學樂器? 有無玩drama?
學術, 功課上既要求係咪都會比foundation school高?  相對pushy d, 多d 功課?
esf kinder 有priority for year 1 interview, 但收生好似唔會先offer 俾esf kinder.  有無咩經驗可以share 點先會有offer?

多謝分享!

我仔不是ESF kindie上RC, 所以上part的問題留給其他家長解答;我就答其他問題。

「令外想問RCHK music lesson 有無學樂器? 」
初小沒有,到Y6全級會被安排學不同管樂,樂器由學校借學生用一年。會有concert機會,讓家長欣賞。

「有無玩drama?」
校內籌辦前會有recruit 及audition, 中學與小學曾合辦,也有試過分開辦。當年我仔Y1的final performance 是一齣musical, 全級一齊演出。

「學術, 功課上既要求係咪都會比foundation school高?相對pushy d, 多d 功課?」
無比較,但聽說現在初小的homework 比以前增加了。

「esf kinder 有priority for year 1 interview, 但收生好似唔會先offer 俾esf kinder.有無咩經驗可以share 點先會有offer?」
面試前孩子最好熟悉學校環境,不少siblings天天跟哥哥姐姐上學,對老師校長環境都不陌生,他們必然較有優勢。
今年12月第一個周末是college fair, 帶孩子去玩,讓他留下美好印象,有助面試。

BHS
主要係擔心BHS唔夠位,加上唔知點解佢地fail rate相對高 (3x%). 然後我地就諗不如報RC, 咁參觀完都覺得佢facilities好,中文 好d, 特別見到佢year 1 classroom出便有share area好有親切感。
對BHS知道嘅亦唔多,其實唔係好比教到。
我暫時只係諗邊間多位d, 機會應該大d.

好少人關顧呢兩個問題,試答:
1) music lesson一定不是只唱歌,有敲擊、牧童笛、學拍子、合奏,學樂理、學創作、音樂欣賞等。
2) pe lesson一星期有兩日,另外星期五下午又會有活動堂。

如果你係讀英基幼稚園,就梗係揀B H S , RC admission 嘅透明度一向近乎零,傳聞今年英基幼稚園學生turn down RC offer 嘅比例極高(部份因為今年wks 得六班,SJS 夠位收晒),雖然多年一直如此,就因為咁多年都係咁, 多年積怨一次爆發,寧願來個一拍兩散,所以ESF kinder 報RC 高危,就算今年,ESF TY 都好似只有三份一左右有過offer.
BHS 今年第一round  siblings fail 唔少, 但可能係家長壓力下,大部分2nd interview 都0k。我估最終成功率可能比以前略低,但應該都有九成。

兩間各有優點缺點,EK其他地方有講,唔再重複.

但如果好想入RC,NR 先至係比較可靠嘅方法。

I think we are facing the same problem. my school zone is also BHS. But I am a bit worried about their Chinese level. I don't expect my son can have very good Chinese, as good as the locals. But i wish he can understand and express himself in writing without any problem. and i don't understand how difficult to switch from simplied chi to traditional chi. where can i see by the end of primary or secondary school, what kind of article can they understand or write? sorry, i went through its website a few times but can't find much about the chinese level they achieve by the time of graduation.

RC seems to be perfect to me as it teaches traditional chi. but its too far away from home. i think it takes at least an hour one trip.

In fact, have no idea how difficult to get an offer in BHS. I know 2 kids with fluent eng got rejected by BHS because of bad mood (answering i don't know in most Qs). But one finally got an offer at RC.

but i looked at its annual report, it said for all ESF school including DC and RC, for both year 1 and 7, the acceptance rate is around 70%. its not too bad. and the school kept saying they face strong competition these years because of new schools.

anyway, i need to apply for other schools for back up. its tough and the debenture in other schools is just far too high, up to $450,000.

RC Admission manager 話esf kinder 的passing rate 係85% ,我唔知係refer to 上年or take average . 但85%內,幾多正取,幾多waitlist 呢?冇人知。但SJS 話超過95% pass interview.


作者: 貝珠    時間: 17-6-16 18:06

RC, 另外esf 學生的advantage 只有class observation,在今年的環境下,相信所有applicants 也有interview 機會。但以收生priority 來說,似乎smart d 的candidate 正選機會大d(regardless of priority ) , 所以就算esf kinder student pass RC interview , 也可能排在其他冇priority 的小朋友之後。

作者: 貝珠    時間: 17-6-16 18:13

其實我係prefer RC 多d,主要因為繁體字及地點近屋企。我不是試圖叫大家不要選RC而增加成功機會,競爭者係其他冇priority 的小朋友。

for 2012 born cohort, RC made 170 offers to 350 esf kinder children, pass rate was 84%.so they do select 'best perform"

quoted directly from FB Hong Kong school group, this is a reply from RC Admission Mgr:

Is RC more selective? I wish I could share with you the number of how many of our wait listers (i.e. passed) who actually have been rejected by the ESF schools they applied this year.For 2012 born cohort, RC only 'failed' 16% of the applicants.Some ESF schools (can not name them) have it as high as 32%. Having said that, I do understand where the impression comes from; and this is all down to one big reason - we interview 600 children!!600!!When the base is so big, those who are very ready to join us, stand out.We support the one-application system because then we do not need to GUESS who will take our offer and can interview fewer applicants.If I could get one dollar every time I was told by the parents that 'RC is our first choice!' I would be rich.We look forward to interviewing just a couple of hundreds of children 'who put their money where their mouths are' so to speak. if you are interested in both ESF and RC, then put ESF 1st and RC 2nd (or vice versa) and follow the new rule. For the record, RC NEVER guarantees to interview all ESF kindergarten children regardlessly.We do so out of the courtesy to supporting our sibling schools (the kindergartens). And I am very sad to say that we are not 'loved' back.For 2012 cohort, RC interviewed ALL 340 ESF kindergarten kids who applied and made 170 offers alone to them.

作者: VVhuilee    時間: 17-6-16 18:41     標題: 回覆樓主:

How many of them accept the offer (after saying we are the first choice?)  Less than 60.  If we have known they prefer ESF schools beforehand, we do not even need to interview them and the interview spaces can go to those who really want to attend RC.  The pain and heartache caused by the current system (to all parties involved) have come to a point it has to be changed to help the families save the $, the time/effort and the school to admit the children who really wish to attend. Well, no system is perfect all round but one has to continue making the effort!!   Have a good Thursday.

同意,我女那班只有三個有RC offer, 的確也只有兩三個reject, 但其他全部waiting list,也不會disclose 排位。foundation school 起碼知道自己排位,最後也很多second in 成功,passed 但排唔到的也會盡量安排其他有位foundation school 收。

作者: HC-Mum    時間: 17-6-17 07:53

我估RC難考入的感覺其中一個原因是現在的討論及數據是基於 esf kinder students 而來的。基本上 foundation schools的位全部給了 esf kinders 或其他有priority的學生,所以於 esf kinder students 而言, success rate 至 admission rate 高是 「正常」。相反, RC 收其他學校學生的比例相對高,所以 esf kinder 收 offer的比例固然是較低了。於 outsiders 而言,其實 foundation schools 也是十分難入。
之前未看到上文有關RC admission mgr的回應時,我也以為RC難入的主因是 more selective, 但 Mgr 的回覆指明 350 esf kinder applicants內, 有offer的佔 170 (我估是包埋call waiting?)!即差太多 50%有 offer, 再考慮埋 RC 有的位是 160左右,所以以數字來說 RC不算難入。
作一個大膽假設,如果來年最終放 RC 第一位的人數減少近半甚至更多,成功的機會也應該不低。但當然,foundation schools 差不多淨收 esf kinders, 成功率也很不錯。所以作為第一屆 central application什麼數據也沒有的家長們,還是跟心意行,把喜歡的放第一位。

很同意! 我也這樣想! 來年放RC於第一位的應該不多, 成功機會反而會增加! 支持把喜歡的放第一位!

競爭一定有,但始終只是 year 1 ,冇筆試,interview 亦只係好 casual ,我唔認為這家長要搞到好大件事咁囉。
因為每人只可以申請一間,變相每一間學校申請人數必定減少,學校不用 interview 咁多人,少了要篩走大量小朋友的壓力,我個人估計,每間學校也會手鬆少少。

以 ESF kindie 來說,小朋友有 priority 已羸一半,ESF+PIS Year 1 夠晒位收 ESF kindle 。
如果 interview 時小朋友不在狀態表現唔好,唔收正常。
至於 non-ESF kindle 申請人,其實可能人地亦非視 ESF 為首選。
唔好以為 ESF 好巴閉,你揀人,人揀你,一樣有人當 ESF 後備。
唔好以為個個申請人,有 offer 都會 accept。
其實情形未必咁差,唔好比部份 haters 搞到自亂陣腳。

我反而覺得下年會多本地家長選RC,一來學好中文,二來價錢和foundation schools已差不遠。
作為prospective non-ESF kindie parent, 我都覺得ESF唔一定係首選,我地無prioriry,反而無乜包袱,甚麼學校也會報。我無論考local定IS都只會以心儀作首選,亦同意RC admission officer所說,被家長欺騙是令人痛心又氣餒的事。

多謝你的提問。我會報RC和SJS, 因為我住沙田,兩間返學都近。
我唔會報港島區的non-ESF schools, 例如GSIS, ISF,因為就算入左我都唔會去讀,無謂浪費人地interview時間。
其實新制亦容許你報晒三間ESF schools, 只係要寫preference, 就好似報JUPAS咁,你可以擺曬兩間醫學院入個list到,但一間first choice, 一間second choice, first choice收左second choice咪唔入囉,就係咁簡單。

其實in幾百人對個小朋友係無利,因為老師真係無法揀到合適的學生,學RC admission officer講,只能identify到最top的學生出來,而呢d人通常都有幾個offer。無咁叻果d, 可能兩間都waitlist, 家長又是失望而回。
如果大家都肯唔去「大包圍」報學校,相信大家的孩子入到心儀學校的機會會更高。不是嗎?

報哂foundation school and Pis 並非貪得意,只係想make sure 小孩有esf學位.事實係就算報哂3間esf,也有小孩一個offer也沒有。
想講:學校會在眾多報名學生揀適合;

冇人話家長鬥,係聽者有意、對號入座、定自己妄想?

RC同SJS之間的種種、去過RC briefing 的人都會知。

其實,一直是RC同SJS爭同一堆學生,BHS同KJS catchment zone 的ESF kinder 學生由於RC遠,一直好少入RC,每年個位數字,所以新政策對這些zones的學生實質影響好小,RC収你都唔會去,而BHS同KJS至少今年夠位收哂所有ESF kinder  pass 嘅學生。

SJS唔同,8班的年,即18年入year 1 唔夠位,而由於學校距離的因素少咗,亦有D呢個zone入RC。

其實RC教學一直做得好好,口碑也好,萬丈高樓從地起, ,學校只有10年歷史已經越來越多家長考慮家長考慮構思RC,點解要咁急,用行政手段,要家長難做,將本地教育制度之中升小升中要策略性選校估下有幾多人揀某間學校,應該將邊間放係第一志願呢啲本地教育制度嘅呢啲本地教育制度嘅垢病帶進來!

Year 1 interview 只是傾計,會可以點難?RC 冇分 catchment area 即代表個個申請得,申請人數多,錯覺機 ...
其實幾會唔會大得幾多,每年ESF kinder 入RC只有三、四十、戓四、五十人,部份siblings, 其他主要SJScatchment zone 的,siblings  將來一樣入,只是唔會謮ESF kinder,SJS zone 可能仍有部份人博。只是,難為了住新界的家長

老實說我自己都研究過一輪,試圖睇下邊間會容易入d, 但其實全部都係得個估字,哈哈!
所以又番去基本步:問 ...
我之前揀ESFvsRC都同樣有這些問題,邊間好D,不過,好少人2間都讀過,我淨係識得一個,由RC去BHS,因為BHS好近屋企,問佢邊間好D,佢話總體其實差唔多。
講返今年我識嘅人,主要係青衣幼稚園,絕大部份有RC offer 而唔去係因為遠,部分唔係太識RC,生不如熟,所以入ESF。當然,有小部分理由千其百怪,如:覺得RC英文差D,唔鐘意五歳小朋友同十幾歲的問一校舍操場,唔鍾意RC太早乜都iPad , 想小朋友至少細嘅時候多啲用返紙同筆etc

反而, 我識有siblings 在ESF的家長觉得有D老師hea, 又冇乜功課,如果唔係家姐讀緊,細嘅可能會揀RC.

我上面講,今年BHS夠位收哂ESF kinder pass 的學生,揀BHS一定穩陣D,不過如果RC明年改成好似 foundations school 咁有幾多位就幾多個confirmed offer interview, 咁就唔同睇法。

For those who joined since K1, those i know who were initially in the reserved list have got offers now. But some kids who joined in K2 (i.e without kinder priority) are still in waitlist in BHS, KJS and SJS (not very updated, at least  1-2 months ago, as very few people talk about this in the whatsapp groups any more).

有人補習、有人不補習;補習跟成績不一定有關係。
Playground以英文為主,但學校一向又鼓勵家長用母語。
其實想報名year one的家長應跟學校安排school tour, 自己去了解一下。

再覆一下有家長提出:「覺得RC英文差D,唔鐘意五歳小朋友同十幾歲的問一校舍操場,唔鍾意RC太早乜都iPad , 想小朋友至少細嘅時候多啲用返紙同筆etc」

1)英文不一定差D,但香港孩子較多是實情;

2)五歲同十幾歲同一校舍操場,我初初都擔心和不習慣,但現在覺得這是美;對成長的孩子有好多優勢;

3)太早iPad, 不用紙筆?在junior primary, 使用iPad和電腦等只是輔助,無問題;反而家庭太早放手小孩用smart phone才鋳成大錯。

留意:RC是Y6開始自攜laptop上學,比ESF早一年,學校安排非常好。

我有去SCHOOL VISIT, 當日有聽到兩個 year 1 小朋友講廣東話, 但其餘都係講英文.

明白間間都有人補習, 我亦唔係totally against 補習, 係有d擔心會形成小朋友之間太多competition,D競爭當然都係好.


IPAD 個D我都唔覺得有咩問題.


宜家希望RC 收我地喇!

Radiomama,
Thanks for your kind sharing all through.  I've been following discussions on RC for a long while and your sharing have always been very helpful.

My child is very lucky to be given an interview for RC this Jan (without an priority nor an NR), but he got rejected......... My kid was born in Oct 2012 and he was shy.... schooling has always been a real headache.  

Do you know how hard it is to apply for a place in Y2 or the years to follow?

其實話RC同SJS有恩怨 我對此說法 好有保留, 我係ESF K2家長, 回想一月嘅時候只有收到SJS既reserved list. 眼見同班同學 八成都係 on guaranteed list, 都好擔心, 但我自己就心儀rc多啲 因為我鍾意繁體中文, 校舍設施 同地點, 我唔明好多人話sjs地點好 但係喺半山 諗緊如果落大雨車行嗰條又彎ㄡ斜路都已經有啲擔心 到大個啲如果留喺學校課外活動 要行過對面 先有小巴 我很擔心, 相反RC就係正地鐵站出口 唔使揼雨. 當然SJS 都係一間好學校。最後好開心我有rc offer, 其實我覺得rc同sjs嘅admission officer係有溝通, 我發覺有SJS guarantee list 嘅同學9x%只有rc waiting list, 相反個啲學生on SJS reserve list 好似我 咁就有rc offer. 我嗰班大概只有四至五個小朋友有rc offer. 出result十幾日後sjs都有打電話畀我話可以畀到offer我 但係我冇take. 我諗返轉頭我覺得好好彩sjs冇畀guarantee list我 如果唔係 可能我都係 on rc waiting list. 剛去完rc parent嘅induction briefing. 好鐘意佢哋嘅lunch安排, 教學方法, 飯堂同校舍都好靚, 而家期待8月開學 好相信RC係一間happy school!

作者: Fionanylau    時間: 17-7-14 14:44

Both are good schools and it was a tough decision to choose one over the other. We picked Foundation School at the end of the day as we have sibling to follow. Foundation School only interviewed limited candidates (mostly from ESF Kinder) which gave a higher chance of success as compare to RC. Having said that, we struggled a lot to give up RC offer with sleepless nights...

No ah, we are only applying this Sept, since ESF changed to "one application policy", we have to rank our choices already at application.


作者: GGD    時間: 17-7-18 14:28

I need to make the same choice, between BHS and RC. RC has traditional Chinese so its very attractive to me. But its a bit far from home. And it seems that its academic result is a bit worse than the foundation schools. would it be a concern for you? I stil haven't made up my mind.........

相信這問題很難答, 就算係ESF Kinder學生都唔肯定考到RC.  更何況今年新policy出台, ESF Kinder家長們如何選校都未知之數. 若然心儀RC就照報, 當然要報定其他作後備.

We did the same too. 🙂We chose RC over BHS, for us it was how the school is run, from top to bottom, the enthusiasm of staff at the school, and facilities. Having access to high school science labs and specialty subject teachers in high school for example means primary students have a chance to delve deep into the topics they are learning.
