Are your friends parents of HKUGA? I wonder why they have such comments. Cause I know quite a lot of parents whom their kids are doing great in HKUGA. They highly reommended me to take this school. They told me that the new headmistress is very devoted and hard-working. She leads the school very well.

jovemama,

我仔仔係港同讀緊小一, 我對學校很滿意, 課程不見得好淺, 仲要好多時要學生思考的, 方向對我來說清晰的, 老師有愛心及流失量不是好大, 校長對教學都好投入。

你的朋友是否港同家長呀, 若不是就亂咁比意見, 對學校好唔公平的。你去小學一覽, 東區港大同學會topic傾下啦, 冇一間學校係完美的, 最緊要係適合自己的小朋友讀, 不是自己的朋友讀, 亦不是我講幾句你會比囡囡讀的,你再考慮下吧, 有人仲後補緊的, 希望你早日做決定!

多謝你哋支持呀,我D朋友係聽番黎然後話比我聽架,佢哋話港同比起其他傳統名校淺好多,不過亞女係屬於好鍾意發問小朋友,名校未必接受到佢D性格

I think every student's parent will have different comments on the same school as each priorities are different. I heard one parent highly appraised the student's PTH ability while the other one has the opposite comment. Same school, extremely different comment !? Indeed no school can perfectly meet ALL parents' expectation.

I have been looking into this school for almost 3 years and have been talking to various relevant parties, including the board member, parents and students. There's no definite answer for any questions.

GIPW,

我都有留意你好關心問港同的發展,是否港同已收了你小朋友呀? 我所寫"仲要好多時要學生思考的"意思係功課不是得個做字, 而是小朋友需要思考一下問題及家長當然要輔助啦,我仔仔只開學3個月, 學校的功課量唔多又唔少(不會十樣八樣), 但我仔仔做得好開心。其實我真的唔識得寫出來去解釋你知, 因為我知仔仔的性格, 他是適合港同的活動教學方法, 不適合成日默書測驗的傳統學校。

每人對唔同學校都有唔同意見, 對我來說真的好難去告訴你港同是怎樣(我寫的表達能力又不好), 我又不知你心目中的理想小學是怎樣? 你小朋友的性格又是怎樣? 我亦相信你不會因為我幾句好說話而比小朋友讀港同的, 你心目中一定有一些要求。

我對港同的中學部暫時沒有特別的意見, 將來的事將來再作決定吧, I believe God's plan for my son.

Cheers...

Hi, Yes my kid is being accepted by HKUGA. She is an active girl so she should like HKUGA. What I would worry is "freedom" is good but too much "freedom" is no good to them. Building a strong academic foundation is also very important as this will benifit her in the future in her academic study.

I am interesting to know more on the developing 思考 part of the students? Next generation, the successful person may come from people with their own thought and not people with just know to take order. But equally 默書,測驗,功課 will is also essential. They might feel the pressure, but they will need to cope with this - here they will learn how to cope with pressure and develop a good time management - to prioritize stuff.

My problem is now whether I should put her to a traditional school, to strenghten her discipline (she definately do not like this as she does not like homework) or 活動教學 where she would learn happily (not too sure if this could stimulate her learning interest or will be like the kite that is high up in the sky and you have difficulity to pull her back )

Really appreciate for all the info that you and Chorlotte_mom share.

GIPW,

我好明白你的憂慮, 其實港同不是外人想像中的好自由, 冇紀律, 欠交功課一樣要罰, 學校要學生學識負責任, 老師都會要學生守紀律, 我仔仔試過欠帶一本功課(我以為冇堂就唔駛帶), 結果要罰冇小息去靜思室反思, 以後仔仔真係好認真去執書包, 當然有些小朋友要罰好幾次才懂反醒, 因人而異, 我只想告訴你唔駛擔心學校對學生的紀律處理太寬鬆。

至於學術相比傳統學校一定會操得好好, 但小朋友同家長一定都要好合作去跟學校的課程, 接受到壓力, 都幾辛苦的。
我仔仔其實都讀到傳統學校, 但因我和先生工作較忙, 唔想每晚放工同阿仔糾纏於功課及默書上, 而選擇了港同。不過港同都有默書, 測驗, 考試(小一小二係評估), 只是相比傳統學校冇咁密, 學生讀得輕鬆些又可以學習到。

你講得冇錯, 時代轉變得很快, 以前死讀書的方法已慢慢不適合用了, 我喜歡學校鼓勵培養小朋友閱讀的習慣, 去思考同培養小朋友發問的主動性, 我仔仔的性格真的好適合, 他喜歡閱讀及發問。學校到高小或3年班功課都開始加多些, 我真的不擔心仔仔會否承受到壓力, 我有朋友的小朋友讀傳統名校承受的壓力真的很大, 要面對的壓力有好多種的, 不一定要在學校上。

我不知道可否解答你的問題, 我仔仔每天返學都好開心, 因為上堂唔悶, 課外活動又開心。真的好難幫你去作決定的。

I also have concern about HKUGA in the beginning as afraid that the school is too loose in discipline and curriculum is too simple. But then I heard very good comments from parents who have kids studying in this school. Not just one person saying this, at least 4 couples whose kids from different grades in HKUGA praise the school and the teaching method they use. I believe the proactive learning method is a new learning trend. It will stimulate the interest and thus the learning ability of kids. Once they got the initiative to learn, everything becomes easy.

真實你如果已留位, 即已簽紙放棄自行派位個學位, 咁無謂諗咁多! 如你有其他直資或私校OFFER 在手呢, 又好担心第日後悔的話 , 你可以去學校再了解深入D. 你屋企去學校方便嗎?
真實我都有個朋友(佢個仔讀DBS P2) 叫我哋唔好揀HKUGA, 因為唔行IB. 但我哋諗住
最重要係小朋友鍾意返學&讀得開心, 仲可以有時間&精力去發展課外興趣, 如游泳、樂器、童軍 ..... "讓孩子在體驗中學習".

:) Yes I have already 放棄自行派位. I like the part where they train children to have their own thinking. As long as they can intergrate into the local education system in the later years, say not 讓賽 especially when they are on their way to secondary school. For IB system, so far I would still prefer those organized by international school, even if HKUGA will opt for IB, I will still have doubt if they could really success in implementing this. One strong belief that I insist not choose international school is to build their chinese foundation. The kids in this generation find it is easier to learn english than Chinese - so Chinese as medium instruction is important.

我都好頭痛，我都知HKUGA係好學校，好喜歡佢地既教學法，但距離我屋企好遠。

Hubby唔想搬屋，因為時勢唔好，但返學真係一件好頭痛既事。我找了很多資料，知道屋企附近有巴士可直達學校，但車程卻要一小時十五分鐘。放學已找到褓母車直抵家裡，但我仍未下決定，因為要一個小孩子到這麼遠上學，就算她願意，回校後是否仍有精力上課？

現在很想知道HKUGA功課多嗎？小朋友回家後，是否可以完全休息，而不是要趕做功課和溫書，或者要做一些極為艱難複雜的project？因為我有朋友的子女也是長途上學，但回家後仍要做大量功課，這樣的日子，我真的不想過。

On transportation time, I have some different perspectives for your consideration.

I lived in Tsing Yi.  4 years ago, I chose a kindergarten in Tsuen Wan as it only takes 15 minutes door to door.  To my great surpirse, the school bus takes one hour, sometimes even more for a single trip!!!  And it is late for school every day!

But I found that except my girl sometimes need to wee wee on the bus, there's no big problem.  Yes, for adult an hour's travelling is tiring but it may not apply to the kids.  She's actually quite happy playing on the school bus.

I took my girl to HKUGA by MTR for interview twice.  We enjoyed reading in the long journey.  I'm thinking if she could make good use of the travellilng time, it may not be a bad thing.

If we go to HKUGA next year, my girl need to leave home by 6.40 a.m. At first, I found that's horrible especially in winter.  But later I heard from other moms living in the same building that actually most kids took school bus around 6.30 a.m. to 7.00 a.m. even the schools are very near. The point is we need an adult to accompany her.

My girl actually was been accepted by 3 schools so far and many friends suggest going to the nearer ones but interestingly my husband and I both think it's worthwhile to send her to Chai Wan!  We're now trying to work out the logistics.  If you have any suggestions, please let us know.  Cheerio.

個人認為, travelling time 是要考慮的。
的確，重點在校巴時間，不在真正距離。
因為，小学生花在功課的時間比幼稚園多。小学是全日制，幼稚園多是半日制。若小朋友学樂器，平均一星期要練四次, 每次半小時(高級再長些)，入了校隊又再加練習時間，還有﹝每日一篇）這類網上功課, 幾簡單都要時間做的。若小朋友是快手腳的人還可，若不，大人也不好過。
一般小一生要睡9-9 1/2小時, 小二--小三睡9小時才夠。有些人當然天生睡得少些。

某天, 碰見一群瑪XX的小学女生, 共兩車人, 第一印象: 乜普遍偏瘦。同齡的另一校(冇乜功課的), 平均冇咁瘦。我猜同睡眠時間有關。

純屬個人意見,絕非有冒犯之意

其實我也明白坐車時間遠的確是大問題，所以一直都猶豫不決。始終我們這些新界，除非真的返樓下小學，否則去哪一間都要坐長途車。現在衡量的，只是車程45分鐘和一小時的分別

雖然話可以用一年時間來考慮，但我實在不想到最後一刻才通知學校放棄，始終仍有很人在等位。

還有幾間學校未出結果，我想我會等多一段時間，同時仔細考慮搬屋的可能性，再下最後決定吧。
