christf and all,
(1) Resources
Sorry, I still don't understand why you said resources in SJS better than RC. Could you please list out more specific? Obviously the campus and location in RC both are better a lot.
(2) Teachers
I heard many good teachers from other ESF had changed to RC now. Let cite Ms. Green from ESF Kennedy as an example. Why this happen?
Some parents said most of RC teachers were Australian because of lower salary. In contrast, RC website clearly showed that most of teachers are Canadian with many years teaching experience. (I am NOT the one who has discrimination. I have just quoted another parent's dialogue.)
Besides, RC's principal (Mr Peter Kenny) always reinforces that he would screen the teachers and have interviews in different countries with very strict standard. How about SJS? I heard many ESF teachers were back-packers nowadays. Is that true? How can I see the background details of teachers in SJS? In RC, I can check all teachers' background via its website.
(3) Teacher / Student's ratio
1:26 in RC
1:30(?) in ESF including SJS
(4) Chinese (Mandarin)
RC Y1-Y2 - at least 40 mins/lesson for 4 days
RC Y3 or above - I heard it's over 40mins/lesson for 5 days (My daughter in Year 1 learned 8-10 Mandarin songs from August 21 to last Friday-Sept 14. She could translate the lyrics from Mandarin to Cantonese. She told me all Chinese writing had finished within the class.) How about SJS? May you please tell us more? Why can't we presume RC really invests more resources in Chinese than other IS? Besides, how many Chinese teachers for how many students in SJS? What's these teachers' academic level?
Last year (the first year of RC), RC got Champion in Speech Festival. As you mentioned that Chinese standard in SJS is growing now, did SJS join any events/competitions or hold any summer trips so as to motivate students in learning Chinese/Madarin?
(5) Good reputation (?)
Personally I don't want to choose DGS/St. Paul Co-ed so I changed my target to IS. I hope that a school may motivate kids to learn more instead of kids well trained for a school.
(6) Withdrawal
Last year (my daughter still didn't join RC), my friends' daughters in SJS, she always told me that lots of students in SJS withdrew to other IS schools. Why this happen?
As a parent of RC, we did have some consideration about other schools say SJS because every parent would choose the best to his/her kids. However, do you know why we have such hesitation now though it seems most of people think SJS over RC? We RC parents really think RC satisfactory.
All above questions are open for discussion. It's welcome that PARENTS ESPECIALLY FROM SJS shares more details with us because we really want to know the REALITY. At this moment, I still didn't apply SJS because we really have hesitation to change as long as RC runs quite well indeed. Certainly we would consider other ESF including SJS if we know more specific how they work over RC after counting the opportunity cost.
Above all, RC is unlike those DSS (say CKY, HKUGA...etc), we parents so far don't have any complaint although it is a new school. This point can show Mr Peter Kenny who really waved his magic wand and did something amazing, right?
