Dear GSIS parents,

My daughter was born in 2004 and I will send the Y1 application for 2009. My questions are:
1. Any comment about the school year 1 programme?
2. When will the school finish daily. I heard that the school will start at 7:30am, what time will they finish?
3. Any after school activities for year 1 student? Is the school fee included or I need to pay for the extra fee?
4. How's the school bus service? Are you happy with it?


Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Kim

Dear Kim

1.  The year 1 programme of GSIS is more or less similar to those of other IS and there is nothing special for GSIS.

2. For junior primary years, the school will start at 7:30am to 12:30pm
...

HI Christf,

Can you please tell me whether GSIS use traditional or simplified Chinese ? I know from Year 4 they offer 3 x Chinese lesson per week, but how is their Chinese standard, i mean in the long term say till upper secondary. Are the students able to read easy Chinese books, newspapers, magazines etc ? Sorry for so many questions.

Thanks
Ruby

Dear Christf,

Thank you for your help!

When I check the GSIS wed site, I only could found activities from Y3 onward. Do they offer Chinese lesson for after school activies for Y1 student? Usually how many activies will the kid join the school activities after school?If they stay at school for the activities which means she will have lunch at school, do I need to prephare pack lunch or can she go to the school canteen with the other kids?

Many thanks,
KIm

Hi Christf,

My daughter is accepted for Year 1 for coming year.  As
you mentioned before, the program is similar to other IS.  Is that mean they don't have many homework to do?  
1. How is the discipline for this school?
2. Did your kid complain anything about the school?
3.  Overall, do you feel you make a right choice to
     change school for your son.  

Thanks a lot

Yes, you may get back the debenture however you must give sufficient notice (seems to be at least 2 months in advance) if you quit the school on your own accord. Otherwise, the school will keep part o ...

Hi! christf,

About the daily reading book and two library books for Grade 1 ,will teachers discuss the books during lessons? How do they follow up? Or students just have to read them at home?
And, the daily reading book is chosen by teachers,or by students themselves?

Any writing assignments is required?

Thanks!

The teacher and/or helping moms will conduct guided reading at school for the daily reading book but will only cover a few pages and not the whole book. Then, the parents are requested to conduct the guided reading for their kids at home using the daily reading book.


Hi! christf,

Could you explain more on "guided reading"? Is that different books have different "guilded reading"? How long does it take for parents to conduct it at home per day?

Thank you very much!

Hi Christf,

Did your son join any after school activities in Year 1 ?  
Is it available?

I heard that GSIS will use another school building in
Pok Fu Lam Road?  Is it for secondary school or primary
school?

Thank you

Incredible
