hi gogocheung,

Concerning the selection of clothing, we usually rather choose to be too formal rather than too causal.  My wife and will usually wear suit like working clothing.  It is because we found that it is very difficult to draw the line of causal and don't want to take the risk of wearing something too causal.

For the kids, I think no need to be all black and grey in colours, but pure colors without any flowers or cartoon characters are good selections.  We usually will mix red with some white or grey or black too but as a girl, they should wear something a bit girlie.  A color scheme too dark may not be very appropriate and too serious.

Sorry to hear that there are no good news yet?  What about waiting list?  It's tough to wait on waiting list but I believe many seats will be released in the coming months so don't rule them out too soon.

Hi Ian,

我最後都係12月4日交左form.  因為唔想太早in.  所以10:00左右到,點知要係1月9日2:30pm in.  原來即使5號交form 都係1月9日in.  好在, 我怕遲一日交, 突現唔到我的誠意, 所以4號去左交.
我想請問你, 你 ...

hi 21oct07,

I just treat my reply as preparation for SHCK interview instead, otherwise it will become unrelated to the topic.  

Concerning the Heep Yunn, it is a good kindergarten for sure but just to note that since their primary school is gov't aided so only very few of the kindergarten students will be "notified" to have priority of being accepted to the primary school.  But it is a very good kindergarten anyway.

Thanks 童童媽!  I think I was being too careful and seems there are no such needs.  Of course need to be as cute and smart as 童童!

I agree with you in SHCK the teachers are really more concern with the children performance over any other things.  So you are right, no need to be too nervous!

I sent him the email yesterday wor, to his gmail account.  Or can you PM me your email so I can send to you again?

呵呵..唔係童童SMART, 我只想各位家長唔好太緊張, 我覺得學校無叫老師注重小朋友既外表, 所以你囡囡著得靚靚又收, 我地著得CAUSAL又收, 應該係睇小朋友當天既表現, 大家唔好比咁大壓力自己, 按主安排喇

hi pcl813,

Not all classes have boys since the school will try to ensure there arearound 5-6 boys in the same class so usually there will be about 3-4classes from both am/pm which have boys (usually in A and B classes). Altogether I think about 10% of each year are boys.

The P1 allocation results for boys is really not an area which I havespent much time on but in general they all got pretty good gov't aidedor private schools.

I usually will encourage parents to try SHCK although they need totravel from far away, but usually for girls.  Any special reasons youwould like your boys to travel a long way for SHCK?  Mind to share? Concerning nanny bus, I am not sure if any children living in Kwai Hingnow but we certainly have pickup from Tsuen Wan, Tsing Yi and ShumCheng.

Privately organized nanny buses are available from TKO to SHCK only.  Don't worry as there are plenty of SHCK students living in TKO.

Hi charmmykitty,

Thank you very much and I am glad to hear the information is useful for your reference.

I have good communication skills?  Just so so I think but thanks again for the compliment!

I am still learning everyday but I feel it is important to understand the education system in Hong Kong in order to choose a kindergarten as it will affects the future path.

I wish I am a full time mom but in fact I am the father so I guess I can never be a full-time mom.

iantsang,

We need to spur oneself on and brace up for the arduous task ------ to bring up our child.

Iantsang, you're a wonderful woman and a model mami!

iantsang

Hi charmmykitty,

That's ok, but those are more suitable for a woman still I guess.  My wife would be unhappy since she should be the wonderful woman!

Thanks anyway!

hi jb-bb,

First congratulations for the new member of the family!

I think it will be very crowded too with such a high number of applicants this year.  However, no need to worry too soon and you never know since I think SHCK is one of the interview I feel is most co-related with the performance of the children.

I have the similar experience too and luckily the process the elder one is jealous of the small one only lasted for a week so we have lesser an headache.  Try to balance the attention and communicate with the elder daughter.  I think proper communication is most important.

Good luck to you!

Ian

我個女會在 9/1 9:00 in, 宜家已開胎好擔心, 因為佢呢輪唔知係咪因為細妹剛出世, 情緒唔多stable.

加埋今年咁多 applicants, 唉, 真係好擔心阿女考唔到.

iantsang

Last year only one parent is allowed in the interview.  Another parent will be waiting outside and there is a video playing in the waiting area.

I was the one in the interview too (just clarify again I am the father haha) and I think it should be fine for father to take part in the interview.

What is "SH" for?

iantsang

The stamp is for everyone who have completed the interview.  No other meanings.  :)

iantsang

Those are just the stamps which usually being used for the kindergarten students.  Certainly different but shouldn't be related to the performance for interview.

评价不同。

iantsang

Yes, mainly children's performance.  I guess the parents' answer just help to understand more on the expectation.

Too bad I couldn't come today to help otherwise can tell you more about how it is this year.

The kindergarten has arrangement so school bus must left the car park and let the air refresh before they allow students come in.  Don't worry too much!

iantsang

Just wanna explain a bit on the arrangement.

This is one of the reasons why SHCK accept more small kids, it is because the teachers don't know the date of birth of the children when they interview them.  So, they won't be affected by the perception that big B is better, and solely based on the performance of the children.  On the contrary, big B has less advantage unless they behave as they should, while for those who are more mature small B, will have a better chance to get a fair assessment.  The process may not be perfect yet, but at least the kindergarten is sincere to minimize the bias.

As a result, the teachers won't have the application forms in their hands like other kindergartens.

For better understanding of the kindergarten, here is the latest 視學報告 done in year 2005.

You are welcome.  I believe it is the leaflet they distributed when you submit the application and it said they use activity based learning there.

Good observation and I agree with it totally.  We need "quality" people which can really contribute to the society.  This is what education should be.
