有無Kingston Kindergarten 家長

amywmlee

My daughter just started school this month.  It's very difficult for me to find school bus from Tsing Yi to Kingston.  Mrs Tang from Cornwall school bus referred Mrs Lee (another school bus)  to me.  

As Mrs Lee told me, my daughter will have to wait for students from other school (almost an hour after school) before she could bring her back home.  In this case, I may consider only one way from home to school.  

Is there any Kingston parent who can share his/her experience of bringing the kids to school with me?

Also, any comment on the teacher.  Does any parent have concern/comment about the working relationship between the English native teacher and the Mandarin teacher?

我都係住青衣,我個仔由一月份開始上2歲班,你個女幾大個,會唔會我地已經見過,因為之前我個仔上過暑假班,都有一個小朋友住青衣.

言歸正傳,你個女幾大,上咩班???我早上送返學有好多校車,而且有一架係小學部注明去深井,青山公路到九龍塘.我其實都想問下,因為該條路線應該可以經青衣.因為由青衣到九龍塘真的好轉折.

如果你有興趣我星期一送個仔返學幫你記低個電話等你問下啦,其實如果我個仔再大d我都想比佢坐校車.

Hello amywmlee,

其實我囡囡都好似你講, 我哋住荔枝角, 鄧太介紹駱太俾我, 同樣因為要接另外兩間, 所以要一個鐘先番到. 再加上佢哋係兩個座位坐三個小朋友, 我覺得危險, 所以我試過喺九龍塘周圍同屋企樓下(去九龍塘個d)搵其他褓母車, 但搵唔到, 我仲喺九龍塘撞到駱太o添, 之前我哋未見過, 後來佢聽到地點先知係我, 佢仲叫唔駛搵喇, 得佢一個做依條線.

於是唯有坐佢車, 點知又發現其他問題 :
1. Seat belt 似乎冇固定在坐椅上, 而且非常非常鬆, 如同虛設.
2. 因第二間放學時間遲半小時, 所以我個囡要早其他小朋友早半小時上車, 試過三次俾我哋見到原來在第二間放學前係冇褓母跟車嘅, 即係由個男司機接我個囡. 但之前問過駱太佢仲話一定有褓母跟車, 後來再三追問之下佢先肯認頭半個鐘係冇褓母跟.

但搵唔其他, 所以冇辦法.

Dear Joshua1118,

Sorry for the late reply.  

My girl is in pm class.  What about your son?
I do think it's quite inconvenient to take her to school esp. the distance from MTR station to school.  And also, I have to ask my helper to stay in Kowloon Tong for 3 hours until her school ends.  This will leave less time for her to do housework.

If possible, would you let me know the no. of that school bus.  

By the way, are you living in 'TV' in Tsing Yi.

Thanks so much.

Regards,
Amy

My daughter just started in Feb.  Therefore, I do not have much comment about it.  But I could share with you the reasons I chose this school.
1.  Curriculum (IB programme)
2.  Bilingual class (Putonghua & English)
3.  Teacher:Student ratio (1:8)
4.  Small class size (max 16 students per class)
5.  Traditional Chinese language
6.  With primary school

Cons
1.  Expensive school fees
2.  Facility of the primary school is not sufficient

Sorry!!!Can any parents tell me about this school.
Can the kids get in to the local famous primary schools? or just go into internartional Schools?
Pls give me some comments!!!
Thanks!

Go to famous local school means that your path way is not international school.  Then why you still consider Kingston?

You should choose St. Cat or Kentville if you like kowloon tong.  At Kingston at least 95% of K2 & K3 kids would choose International Primary and Secondary.  It is a fact.

which international schools do Kingston's kindergarten students usually get admitted to? ESF or the more international ones ie CIS, HKIS etc?

Dear Joshua1118,

I've contacted the no. you gave me.  Unfornately, they didn't pick up kids in Tsing Yi.  They also referred Mrs Lee to me (the one I contacted before).  

Finally, I decide to let my daughter taking the school bus from Tsing Yi to Kingston and then from Kingston to Kowloon Tong Station.  Then, she don't need to wait for more than 30 mins in the school bus. I will see if this arrangement is ok.

Regards,
Amy
