本人已收到港大同學會 & 救恩的取錄通知信，但不知如何取捨，有無小朋友現在就讀於這兩間小學，何否給本人一些意見???

港大同學會,the secondary school is better.

My kid is studying in Kau Yan. It's a good Christian school: teachers know the kids very well, able to explore their strengths and help them in their weaknesses, pass on values, focus on family relationship.... My daughter (and me) does not have much study pressure and enjoy studying there. It is not only a school full of love but also has good academic results. It has a good associated secondary school in Kowloon East (not the secondary school in New Territories). Graduates can go to this associated school and other very famous secondary schools (you can check this out in the school's website). So I do not bother this too much.

Another important thing you should know is that the ex-principal of HKUGAPS (Mrs Gloria Chan who set up HKUGA primary and secondary sessions !) is now the principal of Kau Yan. She is reputable and is a Christian. She loves kids, knows the kids and inspires kids and parents. If you want to know more about Kau Yan, you can simply call or visit the school and chat with her directly. She is very nice.

For me, my son will also go to this school next year. Just to give u some more info about Kau Yan: It has own chef and kitchen to cook for kids everyday (balanced diet with soup, fruit...). Encourage reading. Most of the homework is finished at school. Short term break in Nov so you can avoid travelling in high seasons. Overseas trips for elder kids. Visits to local elderly and China poor areas.....

reader,

請問您是幼稚園學生的家長OR小學的家長?我是幼稚園的家長,非常同意您的講法,不過唔知小學D老師係咪都同幼稚園D老師一樣咁有愛心,都有同個仔去見其他名校,唔知係咪個仔讀開Kau Yan,覺得其他學校Ｄ老師冇咁順眼，冇咩笑容，定係名校關係？我覺得Kau Yan 啲老師似老師多Ｄ，有愛心同有耐性果種，唔係只會鍚最叻個幾個果嘅老師，所以第時細佬妹會讀返Kau Yan 幼稚園。

係呢，您覺唔覺得Kau Yan多咗外國人讀，有黑人和混血兒？

回覆 # 的文章

好多謝各位既意見。我想問係 academic 方面，有好多人都話港大同學會好淺，無乜功課做，咁救恩又如何? 程度相比較深 / 淺?

Just read from the following website
http://www.kauyan.edu.hk/internet/ps/kyps_index.html

and have a general impression that girls have much better 派位 than boys if we don't look at 匯基書院 in Kowloon east. I also notice that no boy go to king's college, which is a popular school in net 11. Anyway, 匯基書院 is also a very popular and good secondary school but far away. The history 港大同學會小學 is short and so it might be more risky. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Why did she quit the job in HKUGAPS? I remember that she said she would retire and do voluntary job only.

前HKUGA校長都好後生的, 走時話退休及做義工, 之後想重返教育界都沒有什麼問題呀, 她都係想作育英材, 喜歡教育。

現在的HKUGA任校長, 係由幅校長升上的, 她對學校都很熱心及關心學生。轉校長影響都不大。

另外HKUGA小一的課程都不是淺的, 其實睇下家長想要什麼, 亦有功課做, 需要學生思考的, 不是傳統教學, 而係學習愉快, 唔好話聽問而去決定學校, 都要問下用家的。

總之救恩及HKUGA各有各好啦。

其實我覺得Kau Yan & 港大都是培訓領導放面的人材，記得選kau yan時，杜校長（前校長）說他們不是要培訓follower,他們不太注重抄寫，比較注重思考和鼓勵閱讀，我有參加港大的簡介會，同kau yan 的差不多，因為我住在中西區，所以沒有apply 港大．

My daughter is in P2. She used to study in KY kindergarten. The teachers in primary section are very nice and caring. For example, when my father in law died last year, the whole class prayed for my daughter to ease her bad feeling of losing her grandad. All the teachers are happy to work with the parents on any problems regarding their kids. They care about every pupil and not only the good ones.

Mrs Gloria Chan left HKUGA after 4yrs service there. She then did volunteer work, mainly helping schools of overseas poor countries. In May 08 she joined KYS to replace the retired Mrs To. She is a Christian and may be that's one of the major reasons that she accepted KYS' offer.

I am not sure whether there are any non-Chinese students (may be just a few). I understand there are some students transferred from some traditional famous schools to KYS because they could not bear with the heavy pressure there.

I feel good about the academics of KYS. I do not expect a school to teach p3 or p4 stuff in p2. My daughter knows what she should know as a p2 and enjoy studying very much. She has time to read books and play with her brother /us everyday. I spend about 20-30 mins on her homework everyday (just to check her work and prepare for any dictation in the next day).

Is there any major changes in this year when Mrs. Gloria Chan act as a new Principal in KYS? I used to think of 嶺南小學 in Wan Chai, but it also has a new Principal last year and I cannot find any information from BK. After reading so many good comments on KYS, I start to think of KYS. What I concern is whether there would be major changes in the teaching staff and school policy, and whether the Chinese and English standard of students can cope with EMI secondary school.

Is there a briefing session about KYS on this Friday (31/10) night? I've seen a poster on the outside of KYS today but I cannot find this information in their website.

Core value does not change: christian principle based education. Changes so far are positive in my personal view (e.g. less exam, more native Eng teachers, more reading, etc.). Mrs Gloria Chan is reputable and she has passion in education. I will let my son study in KYS too. I like the KYS under Mrs To. I love the school even more when Gloria arrived.

My son is a P.1 student in KYS. He is one of the students that benefit from the policy of the new principal, i.e. cease examination for P1 students.

I share Readers' view that this school is full of love and caring.  My son's class teacher knows my son very well, not only his strength and weakness but also his personality.  She always shows appreciation to him and let him be confidence.  As such, I find my son enjoying his school life very much.  The school also organises various activities for parents, e.g.  家長班 .  I like to join the school activities to meet other parents and share views. Sometimes, I can even chat with Mrs Gloria Chan since she joins the 家長班 as well.  The school makes me feel warm and pleasant!

Regarding the homeworks, they are not that much as my son can almost finish them all at school.  I only take about 20-30 min to check.  Sometimes I may have to spend another 30-60 min to do the revision with my son if there is dictation or assessment.  I think the workload is fair.  There is still enough time for my son to read story books and play games.

In terms of the teaching style, it is not as creative as mentioned by the parents of 港同. Both schools have their own characteristics.  Suitable or not would very much depend on the kid's personality and learning style.

How about the Chinese and English standard of KYS? As Chinese and English are the core subjects in NSS and Language foundation is mainly developed in Primary School years. Chinese seems to be especially difficult to learn than English (outside school). So I think effective language teaching and learning in primary school is very important.
