Hi Wendy and Sorb

Which class is your child in ?  Mine is N1F.

Sorb

No, based on my understanding, Victoria has English every day, one of the teachers in charge of the class is a English speaking person.........thus, they are stronger than KCS if you are talking about English only.  The above statement is true only if that teacher is proactive in talking with students as a few of my friends told me the English speaking person in their kids class (in Victoria) is not proactive at all..........that is just physically exist.

Hi Wendy and Sorb

Which class is your child in ?  Mine is N1F.

GIPW

As far as I learnt from this year K1 mum (whose child attend N class last year), there are a few in the class that failed the interview, I mean a few out of the 30 in the class.

Sorb

I don't know the statistic, but based on my experience, I will only say the N1 students of KCS will have a higher chance of admission to KCS KG if your child's performance is acceptable, no need to be very good.  My child's performance is not good nor outstanding during KCS KG interview, but finally got accepted....I think my child attending KCS N1 is of help.  I have been worrying it for several months after the interview that I need to look for other KG......and feel so released now.  Actually, if I were the teacher in KG, I would also prefer those already attending KCS N1 as they already got used to KCS's Mandarine teaching media and the environment.

Chens, I do think afternoon sleep is very important to a child before she/he goes to primary school.  To me, health built up when she/he is small is more valuable than knowledge or skills gained from school.

How about the chances of promotion from KCS N1 to K1? I heard a parent said only 50% kids from KCS N1 can be promoted to KCS K1; I called also KCS today and they said all KCS N1 student needs to gone through an interview with also other non-KCS kids in order to get a seat in K1, too.

But do you know the real case, I mean can you share if what you know is the same?? I mean the chances of promotion directly from KCS N1 to K1?  Since it definitely affect my decision coz Victoria guarantee direct promotion fom N to K.

Thanks a lot!!!

Chens

No worry of KCS english teachers, they are really foreigner, but Victoria, there're some ABC (American Born Chinese) speaking english also. Depends on your requirement.

For KCS, there're some historial foundings, but may not be reflected as your year. There're some boys/girls will be withdrawn to ESF during K2, so there're still chances to attend AM class during K2.

Parents, choose your kindergarten in teaching method and approach, suggest not to just think of AM or PM, since children get less sleep in PM when they grow.

Sorb

I did have AM offer cause I worte to school.  So, write the letter now and then call to see if they are willing to disclose to you your waitng number and you can guess your chance.  If the chance is low, I may choose Victoria as I am a kind of mum insist on sending the kid to AM class.  Ther are a lots of good side assoicated with AM class........your kid can have afternoon sleep wich is crucial for the health.  Time for other things such as interest class is more easy to arrange.  I have chosen KCS instead of Victoria because Victoria only offered my baby PM class last year.  After my baby going to KCS for almost half year, I think this school is good except adminstratively.  Also, I like the environment of KCS more than Victoria.

Keep writing to the school and stress your intention to go to am if there is seats available.  If you have written to them, then you will be in the waitlist for am class.

My sons now study in KCS PM class, I feel their teachers are very good and nice, their English teacher is come from UK. K1 - K3 classes have English lesson everyday, I like this school so much as my sons study here very happy. Now they can speak 普通話 with teacher. They just
talk 2 languages in school everday with teacher.  I knew some kids study Victoria B4, but some kids went to KCS after Chine new year.
Victoria need to pay HK$3XXX/month but KCS just to pay HK$760. same study method but the price is big different.

Hi Sorb

My boy will be in K1 next year AM.  Hope to see you.  This year he is also in PN afternoon class.

Since I am now very headache, my girl is 02/07, she is accepted by KCS PM class and Victoria AM class. I am very struggle coz I like KCS mandarin and teaching style (more serious, not always PLAY, PLAY and PLAY); however, I like Victoria English teaching + morning class.

Can any parents please share with me if:

1) KCS foreigh teachers is really from ENGLISH native countries (coz I heard some are from Russia or Eastern Europe)?

2) Comment of attending afternoon class?

Thanks

Sorb

Chens, absolutely agree with your comments.  A child only spends approximately 3 hours per day in school and the rest of the time at home, thus, home education in more important in shaping the character of a child.  Thus, I think some parents nowaday are over-reacted in selecting the PN or KG for their child and ignore the feeling of their child.........

都係 "好depends 你要什麼". 坦白說, 我都認為真光好, 但係我知我個囡係可以"谷"到的那種, 唔"嚴"都會好懶.

我對孖仔依家在kcs讀k1下午班,so far我覺得佢地教得唔錯,全普通話教學係佢地ga重點,當然我相信大部份家長都係like佢用普通話先選KCS,英文都ok,因為KCS係外籍老師教,我對孖仔好歡喜佢個Miss.  KCS d老師我覺得好nice,我唔覺得佢地嚴喎,我覺得KCS每個小朋友都讀得好開心,而且KCS每個月都有園藝會比D家長一齊參加(每個月K1-K3班會有表演.)好攪笑,家長可以透過D活動可以知道小朋友在學校情況都唔錯,所以都好睇家長要D咩要求.
