sis是py1時最大機會,因為一次過收得人多,local細路都有機。
如果miss左py1的window,之後就難好多。考小一,要考卷,鍾意可以照報,但你要知道個odds。

Yes, this is true.  In fact this is clearly stated and advised under "admission" of the SIS website.  If Ruth0329 is keen, it is better to apply PY1.

Since I am not strongly determined to send my girl to study abroad and we do not have a foreign passport…  but very keen in letting her to have a global perspective and critical thinking. So Chinese is important if she will stay in hk. So struggling!

Do you mean you plan to have your girl study in university  in HK? Students of these 2 schools do not take DSE and will apply to universities in HK via non Jupas.  Roughly only 20% of places are allocated to non Jupas students. You need a back up plan if your girl goes to international schools or others that do not offer DSE.  Alternatively you may consider schools that offer bothDSE and IB, 啓思,真道,聖保羅男女。

For SIS, according to the briefing by relevant Heads of Chinese Programmes at Open House 2013 (Apr 2013), the Chinese curriculum has been revised to aim all students to sit for IB Chinese exam - first language.  

They explained how it could be achieved through the through-train Chinese education from PY1 to IB diploma exam => Impressive

For my child's case - when he entered SIS at PY1, he knew very little (if any) Putonghua, but in this summer (i.e. after he has completed PY2) when we were visiting Malaysia where the driver was a PTH speaking Chinese, my son on his own initiative, chatted with the driver in fluent PTH.... we were totally shocked by the progress he has achieved

ikerberg that is amazing! How about their discipline esp. those in upper classes? My impression is SIS is a relatively conservative IS! Correct me if I am wrong…

According to my observations, discipline is well observed.  Kids are energetic, for sure and they may run like a wild animal (happily) in the campus but the school stresses 'anti-bullying' very much, so haven't heard of it as a problem.  

One of the big change since the past year, for PY2 students, the school replaced 'computer lessons' with something like 'Values/conduct cultivation' to teach about the importance of self-discipline, being responsible, or cultivating high EQ etc'.

The school correctly spotted that the strengths and weaknesses for kids of age of PY2 at present...i.e. they need not anymore teaching on simple operations of computer, but what they need more are to know how to take care of themselves and others, and to cultivate the sense of being a responsible global citizen since very young.

So, the school is always forward looking and flexible enough to make good and appropriate changes.

As far as "conservative" is concerned, if this word 'conservative' means 'suppressive' of students' creativity, it would be a wrong assertion.   The school gives large room to nurture and reward but not suppress creativity.   

The best way to understand a school is to visit it and talk to a regular Joe of the school.  After enrollment and having paid that $3000, you shall approach the General Office to arrange for a school visit asap.  The school visits for new applicants usually start in September.  [Who knows you could get some clues about the interview from any of the personnel you met in the school visit?]

Best wishes to your kid!

Yes.  We just think the change is the smartest move a school can make.... from that, we could observe that the school has been keeping thinking, how the world has changed what would be needed to offer to the kids to meet the changes......so, we literally cannot love the school a bit less.
