CCCHU,

There is no exam in P1 and P2 but there are some quiz during the term. Usually, we were not told about when and what would be tested. Therefore, it's only an on-going assessment for the students throughout the year.

My son is P3 now and the exam in first term is not difficult. There are written and oral exam on Maths, English and Chinese only. My son only took a little efford on the revision.

He have none or at most 3 homework everyday and he can spend much time on reading and develop interest after school.

CCCHU

I have learnt from the school website that there is no test/exam in P1 and P2.  From P3, they have to sit for 2 summative assessments a year.  Can anyone tell me are these assessments difficult and needs a lot of revisions similar to the exam of other local schools?  Do the students of this school have more time (than other local schools) to develop their interests after school?  Can parents of this school share more of the school life of their children in this school?  I really want to know more before deciding to leave the nightmare in traditional/local schools.  Thanks.

My case is similar to "Lalawong".  My daughter was studying at a traditional local school.  It was a nightmare to my wife and me.  After one year, my daughter joined VSA.  She is in P3 now, very happy ...

shc2007,

I'm very interested in this school also.  Can you tell me more about their syllabus in P3?  Is it true that they only have a little homework every day, but quite a no. of projects to do in the 2 school terms?  Will the projects need a lot of parents' involvement or the students can finish the projects themselves?  Are the teachers friendly and helpful? It is really very attractive to hear from you that your daughter is very happy in P3 in this school when students of P3 in other traditional local schools are having a very busy and hard life already!  Thanks.

Hoboy,
佢個評估時間表內,有個評估範圍. 我就諗住同佢go through一下,確保佢係明白就算.
佢地今個聖誕假期都好長呀呵?唔知係米比d老師返自己國家渡聖誕呢?

...

今個聖誕假期真的很長, 我又放唔到假陪仔, 佢日日叫悶呢!
聽聞12月20日前出發的機票未係high season price, 所以呢....

佢地呢4個月都放幾多假, 所以Easter Holiday就會好短.  但暑假又會好早開始放

雅花,

今年第一次考試. 有冇打算點樣溫習? 我問過個仔, 佢又話識唔洗溫,   都唔知信唔信佢好. 英文一向都冇評估卷, 都唔知點樣溫習

其實我自己本身真係無打算要囝囝補習, 同雅花一樣, 覺得無需要/無時間, 我只係聽到家姐話佢同事個家姐話(隔幾重...)90%同學都有出外補習而有d驚訝

...

我也沒聽過有很多維小的學生要補習. 但大部份都有很多興趣班要上.

學術上, 我囝囝作文較弱, 而維小係比較少呢類訓練, 所以每星期都會上一小時的中作班. 我就唔當呢樣係補習既

讀得Victoria都係想輕鬆冇壓力, 加上Victoria 本身已是英小普通話教學, 老師質素好, 還需要出外補習?

neo媽

雅花

聽到你咁講我都安心d:-| 因我識同學仔家長有限, 最多都係等校巴時同d媽媽傾幾句, 都唔好意思問人咁多問題, 其實係咪我要求比較底!?

雅花仔無補,一來好似無需要,二來都因為無時間.
我不大相信有九成學生要在外補中英文. 我都算同好多家長有溝通,我知道的大多是一係返補習社做功課,一係有私人老師跟功課,一係在家操補充填習,又或者至差就好似雅花仔 ...

各位VSA家長, 想請問你家小朋友或佢D同學仔有冇額外出外補習英文 & 國語??

今年小學的校巴營運公司係好有heart去做好d.比d時間,相信佢地會做得更好.

雅花,

聽你甘講, 個心都定d, 11月份去新校舍參觀時, 老師話個泳池要多幾個月才可啟用, 唔知到時會唔會開泳班俾低年班學生呢......前日同個朋友見面, 佢個小朋友剛剛升上ESF既小學, 學校有開泳班俾1年班學生, 但就要家長到場貼身照顧小朋友更衣, 否則無得上泳班, 我覺得對於年幼既小朋友來講呢個安排都算合理......期望VSA會有更理想既安排啦......

課外活動如鋼琴,游泳等,雅花仔就係出面學.所以星期五,六都無咩時間. 而開學時,又因為人為(雅花佬)的過失,亞仔day day 都有課外活動,攪到d時間唔夠駛. 相信過埋一月會好d. 但現在我唔方便講佢學緊d咩,等佢上完之後,我先講你地知.
我擔心暴露身份呀!

Kikimon,
如果當日無課外活動,雅花仔係原則上4:12分到站,實際上係大約4:30到. 其實我唔係好知佢咩時間返到學校,反正唔會遲到,我唔理lu.

雅花,

多謝你既回覆, 因為現在幼稚園的校巴麻麻地, 校方話簽左幾年約暫時轉唔到, 所以好期望校方吸收經驗後加上VSA人多d可以爭取到好好既校車服務..........話時話, 可否分享一下雅花仔參加什麼課外活動, 我囡囡學緊游泳, jazz, piano, 可能上了小學無甘得閒都要取捨地cut剩1樣, 不過係學校又未必有得學返呢3樣野喎....

雅花,

多謝你詳細解答, 請問7:45上車是否8:10之前已到達學校, 我估計等電梯上課室都要若干時間吧.........但5:30才到回家的校車站很遲呀, 因校車時間表上放學一般都是4點幾下車, 是有課外活動遲些放學嗎.......我亦實地考察過, 4點幾香港仔隧道出灣仔未塞車既......

shc2007,

其實我都住得遠架(九龍, 不過現在校巴都已經有站), 但不可能搬家因要近長者有個照應........我唸最方便唔怕塞車既只有住香港仔,海怡,貝沙,置富一帶的都不用經香港仔隧道......

Kikimon,

雅花 講的是正確，但要看你住的地區。

雅花

Hi kikimon,
客套話不說了,直入你的主題吧.
因為深灣多學校,所以維小的高層同其他的學校磋商完的共識,就係我地將上課的時間延後,咁就全區的校車就不會同時間塞係深灣道.未入深灣前,雅花仔係6:55分係校車站. 而家就7:45分. 現在就變相可以遲多大半粒鐘起床.
至於放學,目前就真係未如理想.佢本應傍晚5:30分返到屋企校巴站.但差不多日日都遲.原因係所有校車都要點齊人,上晒要走的學生才可以一齊開車.你都有見過新校停車場.一條路,唔可以中間架車抽出黎走先.所以若任何一架車未齊人,全隊車隊都要等
嗱,我側聞係d中學部d哥哥,姐姐好多時未能準時上車先至咁遲. 因為小學生係有專人帶佢地去校巴集合地點架.
如果你女兒係坐校巴,你應該不用太擔心.
我之前都有想過為雅花仔搬近學校d.但目前的情況都還可以,所以都係再睇定d先.你知喇,搬左入去,要出黎威,無咁方便呀嘛.:loveliness:
