學之園凱帆校N1召集

hoihoima

Heard from school officer that they received 700+ applications in total (my b is a small b and did not get a chance for interview at all).

我問過凱帆校有5百幾個大仔面試(無計細仔)，位就有112個，即差不多5個爭1個位，已經唔算太大競爭。

我倒唔清楚老師流動性是否高，但至少校長及主任都同我1年前見的一樣，佢地兩位俾到我好大信心覺得凱帆LH掂，同埋我好喜歡d老師 ...

Since K1 2nd semester, there is one homework everyday.  On every Friday, there will be two more homework + 2 story books with exercise.

奧運站出, 向奧海城一期行,大約行10至15分鐘啦, 其中要過1次馬路. 第一次咁行可能要找找路, 不過行過1次就會記得路.

功課方面, 如無記錯PN每1至2個月有「功課」帶返屋企同父母一齊做, 如一些入錢錢訓練小手肌功課.  ...

Freesia_cat, the one my son takes is a small yellow school bus.  Only a few kids in this route so may be they use a small one.

我想問, 有無人知d校車係大巴定褓姆車?

如果係細褓姆車, 會唔會夠人就唔收細路乘褓姆車? 定其實大站唔只有一架褓姆車?

hoihoima

Freesia_cat, the school bus is very safe (with seat beat) and the school bus aunty is very nice.  Nothing to worry wor.

你覺得校巴安全嗎?跟車褓姆會唔會搞唔掂d細路?

bbtitko,

Since I don't know the syllabus in Creative and St Cat, I cannot compare these schools with LH directly.

For LH, in K1 first semester, there is one homework + 2 story books every Friday.  In K1 2nd semester, there is 1 homework everyday.  On Friday, there is 2 homework and 2 story books.  In K2, there is 2 homework everyday + other homewok and story books on Friday.

For K1 Eng and Chi, LH puts much focus on speaking and listening.  There is "show and tell" every week and the kids are free to bring a toy or a book to school to present to classmates.  This "show and tell" activity continues in K2 and K3 but the theme will be different.

In K3, there is English & Chi dictation once a week.

I don't find LH pushy.  LH focus in developing kids' learning interest.  Based on comments from most parents of my son's classmates, LH kids love doing homework and they always ask whether there is more homework...

Since I don't have much time to spend with my kids after work, if I find a very pushy school for my kid, it will be a disaster for me, my kid and the whole family.  LH is a good choice for me.

I think kids from LH can be suitable for both traditional and DSS primary schools.  It's just that I personnally don't prefer a traditional one.

Feel free to let me know if you have other questions on LH.

您小朋友讀學之園k1, 您覺得學校是採取較輕鬆的教學模式(如啟思, 少功課, 不催谷, 課程淺), 還是較學術型(如st.catherine, 多功課, 功課深, 課程深)?

如果小朋友讀學之園, 將來選傳統津小還是直資較合 ...

bbkitko,

Yes my son is studying in HL campus.

My son has the same NET from the commencement of K1 to now.  I note from the school notice that some teachers left the school in the past few months, but mainly Chinese teacher rather than Eng teacher.

Regarding the primary school, attending a top traditional school is not my primary objective.  Many LH parents think the same.

謝謝您令我知道更多學之園的課程. 想問您小朋友是否都是在凱帆校上學?

之前也聽聞學之園教英文很好, 而最強是英文拼音.所以也很放心讓仔仔在學之園就讀. 而學之園設有英普班也是我選校的另一原因, 因為 ...

Freesia_cat,

I am so surprised to hear that "LH is pushy".  Homework in K1 includes:

- Phonetics (圈出/连线）
- Chinese words recognition(圈出/连线）
- Maths concepts (大/小/轻/重/numbers, etc.）  
- Coloring
- 剪贴
- 线条练习
- 找相同/不同
etc.

For my kid (and I heard the comments of parents of classmates), the above homework are fun games.

Should be ok for PN even kid cannot speak well, very normal and no need to worry!

聽你咁講我就放心啦, 因為剛有另一條thread講話LH好pushy...... 不過據我去參觀及面試的卬象, 及聽我朋友的朋友講都唔係咁.

不過我想問下K1的功課多數是什麼類型呢? 同埋, 因為我個仔仲係唔係太識講野( ...

LH是返12個月的嗎? 無暑假?

我都想週一就註冊, 但我在對面海返工, worst case週六同阿仔返PG前先去註冊.

今年學費應該係HKD3700, HKD4000好似係限額, 我諗係寫大少少, 就算下年加學費都唔駛再填多次掛.

hoihoima

Normally same teachers.

hoihoima

Everyday need to bring one towel case with wet towel, one towel case with dry towel, cup with cover.

hoihoima

Summer holiday from July 21...

hoihoima

Yes dry towel also need towel case.

For school bus, the school bus "ee" will provide a small folder every month to the person who picks up the kid (e.g. my maid) for collection of school bus fee.

hoihoima

Yes still need to use.  Btw, I bought the towel cases in Toys R us last year, very cheap, less than HK$20 for Disney themed cases.

hoihoima

How about photos?  Last year needed 10 in green school uniform.

Last year went to 元朗大棠荔枝园.

會唔會係去什麼農莊呀? 唔知只有PN去定全校去呢?

記得我細個時要小六才有得去學校旅行, 望穿秋水才有得去, 阿仔PN就有得去真幸福!

家長日 = 家长会见老师以了解小孩在学校的情况

Assessment = Continuous assessment of kids by teacher

Saw your discussions on K1 class selection.  The competition seems to be really keen, in particular the am 普英 class.  Just wonder why the K1 pm 普英 class last year only has less than 20 students? Guess at the end quite some pm students will leave LH?  Or there is a big increase in the birth rate just in 2 years?
