浸會大學附屬學校王錦輝WKF

rosamann

1. I attended the 2nd interview in late October and received the “Waiting Letter” the next week. Did anyone attend the above interview and then get the offer after?

2. As told my friends, the turn-over rate of WKF teacher was very high and the school administration was in a mess. Has it been settled down yet ? If your kid is studying in WKF, please help to clarify.

Thank you…

If your kid studies in WKF or your work for WKF, may you mind telling us the no. of NATs in the school and how do you feel about the new principal when comparing the last one. These information will be useful to the parents including me.  Thank you

The new chief principal is from Hong Kong International School. He has been there for many years. He was one of the principal there until this year. No one can doubt his qualification and experience. Sure he need to learn the local education system. One can't know how he is going to perform his duty, but one thing is sure that he is a nice guy and he knows how to handle people.

A good news for those who are keen on this school, isn't it?

Second year's turn-over rate of WKF teachers was lower then first year's. The school administration are much better now. One can say the school administration is good or ok lar.

Is the new principal (the ex-vice principal ?) better than the one  who quit suddenly last year? The school policy and stable staff support are very important to the students. if the new principal stands firm on the policy, then it will be a definite benefit to the kids. I really hope that everything has been settled or to be settled very soon so that both the hardware and software (teaching & administration) provide a very good foundation for paving the good development of WKF, a first-class school.  

What a sensitive question!
其实作为家长能知道多少呢，只能说说感觉（对被评讲者很不公平）。旧的副校长来自国际学校，旧的校长来自官校，她们的经历会影响她们的取向。我本人对英文科颇满意，我猜英文课程该出自旧的副校长手笔吧。她不喜欢操练语法，其实是不合部份家长心意的，只不过现在看到小孩英文的进步，是不可能由操练得来，虽心有疑惑，也不怎麽出声罢了。旧的校长突然离去，在社会上不大不小的搅出了一点回响，对学校的声誉伤害很大。对很多人现在还有负面影响，真是败事有余啊。不过，旧的不去，新的不来，还是好事！

我個仔是WAITLIST, 這校比我想像中難入, 我有好多朋友都冇2ND IN, 他們都是來自九龍塘區出名 kinder, 但其實申請這校的人會是真正想入, 還是拿來做後備呢? 到開學時, 是否會有好多位流返出來呢?



...

我自己知道有些來自幼稚園國際班的小朋友,都有些過了second in 就直接取錄,有一些則仍在wait list. (同校同班)
我也有同感此校比想像中難入,但卻覺有其一套特別之收生策略,我也是跨區申請。我相信真正想入的人很多,但來做後備的人也不少。到開學時,審慎地相信會有位流返出來。

  我想除了几间最Top的学校之外，到了尘埃落定的时候，每所学校都会有空位的。

Yes, thanks for timtim852's independent and wise analysis. I also hope that WKF can be a famous school in one day so that the parents have more choices on the "famous school list".

  学校的英文教学安排令人（我）满意，我想做这样安排的人是明白同学们的母语不是英语，所以要用三年的时间来密集地学习Phonice，要按程度分小班上课，Guided Reading还要再按程度分小组，按我所知，三年级的同学都在很积极地看课外书，他们二年级末的读书报告是Stanley系列，学校在阅读方面做出了成绩，就我所知，三年级的同学在看Magic Tree House, Black Lagoon, Captain Underpants, Horrid Henry, etc. 我满意了，因为我自已没什麽英国文化，而现在小孩喜欢看书，够了。只要喜欢阅读，语文没有不好的。

The parents may not focus on money. When they submitted the application form, they already knew the school fee.

Usually, it is not unusual to see that  the parents whose kids study in the school would not like the negative comments on their schools.  Don't get so nervous and angry about the comments, the WKF's fans.

To be fair, I believe WKF has really got the potential of being a good school in the future as the history is rather short. At this stage, it looks like a  big local school riding on the goodwill of HKBU. Many parents may not want to take the risk of giving up the lucky draw because of WKF's offer. Perhaps, when its development is good enough and the students' performance can be comparable with other well-known schools such as DBSPD, SPCC, LS , etc., the parents will take WKF's offer and give up the lucky draw.

可能她对WKF没有信心啦。

I don't think so. A lot of parents has lost their direction. Most of them focus on money. In fact they have to understand the school and their child. They have to find a school to suitable their child. Let them like to read and learn freely. They will enjoy reading and learning.

I like HKBUAS is they will provide special service for special need student. Which I never think any school can provide. Because they can afford it.

Like you said, this school is a well-know school in Shatin already.

A parent, I met in a previous interview, told me her child got acceptance letter already but she at last turn down the offer coz she wanted to try the lucky draw.

WKF的英文课程着重Phonice, 经过几年的学习，也看见了成效，我认识的三年级同学，都已在看英文的chapter book了。
  数学用英文教，教材是Manhattan的Maths & You.
  中文用普通话教，用的是现代出版社的课文。
  WKF三位校长中两位具国际学校背境，小学校长有很好的教学经验，也有理论，总校长今年刚到，看到的改变是正面的。

  WKF不会是最好的学校，但也不会差过许多DSS学校。

It is a good school, maybe not the best, but with a lot of potential.

Pls note the new Chief Principle has joined the school since last September. I will not comment him for such short period of time. It is not fair to him. I will tell you after one year.

I am not working there, only my sone is their student at this moment.

I trust this is a good school after one to tw years. In fact, it is well known by most of the parents.

Yes, I agree that WKF is quite new and it needs to take time before it is fully geared. I haven't compared WKF with any other schools in my last messages because of their history and foundation.
