Hi,
When is the best time to send the children to overseas - I think depends on 1) whether you have relatives/friends tehre to help your children; 2) the characteristics of your children. 年紀大通常識諗D,我見盡有人在HK考last & became a doctor in Aust, 有人在HK top school 好but 最終比人踢出校 in Aust, why? Because it depends on the kids 群D咩人, 其實咩人都有, top schools 都可以有一兩個 bad students & heavy smokers, so孩子的分辨能力同自制能力好重要, unless you stay there (陪太子讀書), otherwise all you can do is to ring/visit them once for a while only (你又點知得佢D野咁多) !
Foundation is one of the common options for overseas students, the required standard can be lower than local students, but in fact if you are overseas student, even if you do normal year 11 & year 12, it's still easier for you to get in a better course than local students. May be you can ask the agent how many foundation students can get into medicine or law course. For foundation, most HK people get in Commerce or Computer = these courses are not hard to get in. From my experience, all of my friends got in medicine/law were those doing year 11 & 12.
至於homestay/boarding house, my advice is for homestay, better don't choose the Chinese family (not as considerate as Australian family). My friend got into a Chinese family as homestay, and they needed her to do mowing & 斤斤計較, 要找一 個 loving family as homestay is not easy ! For boarding house, in fact quite convenience, because it is very close to school (no need to take public transport/ask the homestay parents to drive you to school every day), so kids can have more time to stay in the school library.
至於friends/relatives, don't expect too much unless very very very close! 我聽過有D mummy 以為個friend or relative 會take care 自己個女/仔,點知都係刻薄佢地,最後D mummy 同D friend/relative 都係不歡而"珊",其實將心俾已,要你長期去照顧多一個,又唔係自己既,好難既,不過有時幫下手互相照應下就無謂
One more tip for you: Top schools in Melb usually are single-sex schools, not co-ed schools.
Hope this helps you. Actually I'm also preparing to be a mum, 要向你們多多指教。 |
