請問SC的媽媽,

入SC前有冇比BB讀N1? 如有, 請分享一下由邊度的N1轉入SC. 多謝.

my friend's boy also choose PTH/Eng class and interview, but finally the school think that the chilrden is much suitable for the Chi/Eng class and change him to eng/chi class.

And is highly recommended to let children to take N1 before go to K1, they can learn more, but not only in language but the communicate method to due with children and the school life. This is a must for the children, but this is also not easy to learn if the children only stay at home. For chinese, numbers, English, all the parents can teach your own children, but the aspect of school life and cope with others is difficult to learn at home and also the major problem when children go to K1.

yes, you're right.

For my son and other kids I know, they can reply to PTH teacher's question during the interview lo , though they only need to speak very few, most time just showing their understanding of the intruction,  besides,  when the PTH teacher asked parent something, the parent should show their own  ability to use PTH or the plan to teach in home too, that will hv some credit I think.   

For primary, sorry I don't hv 1st hand info as my kid is still young, but if possible, not bad to let kids familar with PTH as the main language..

Kids are smart in learning, eg, we know PTH in the family, but basically we use Cantonese to talk with grandpa/ma, and English to my son,  not paying a lot of time to practice or teach him PTH, but he can selective use PTH to reply if he "think" the one asked him don't know Eng/ Cantonese well...

Moreover, do you see any difference on the primary school achievement between those students graduated from E/P & E/C?

For about 8 kids I know who got SC's acceptance for either E/P or E/C, are from Private N1 in TKO / Lam Tin, so locationwise seems not a bit issue.

But for those accepted by E/P, kids all know PTH, mainly due to family education. That will be the main difference I can see so far.

my daughter studied in 屋村幼兒園too.

By the way, SC does not call the E/P class "International Class", vs other KG.  I think it is because it has 2 class teachers (班主任 one native Eng, one native PTH,in K1 but it is not that case in K2.  I think the decrease in Eng teaching time in K2 made it do not called itself "International class"

Woo , expect a 2 years + kid to speak in Mandarin !!

Life is really hard for kids now !
I dont know if my boy can do this during the interview (if I apply this kindie later) !!

Yes, life is harder and harder.
From my experience, the PTH interview did not expect kid to answer much in PTH but at least understand PTH (that's why some parents select ENG/PTH as language for their baby's N1 class)
However, in that interview, the PTH teacher will talk in PTH with the mum/dad.  So has to demonstrate that the family can support the PTH teaching.

Thank you for the information.  

We would like to apply for the PTH/Eng class first as Chin/Eng class can be the back up if we are eligible to enter SC.

小女前年入SC英普班，當時用三種語言interview，首先廣東話問日常間單問題，再用英文問顏色、形狀，最後往普通話老師處，老師用普通話叫佢唱歌，當時姐姐剛朗誦比賽，他將此兒歌唸出來，接着老師問我在家是否能用普通話教她，我說我会請老師回來教她，我自己不会亂教，最後亦入了，我記得當時申請表是有得揀若入不了英普可考慮英中，入不了上午可下午.....類似的選擇

I know a kids was applied the PTU/ENG class, and finally accepted by the ENG/CHI class, as her mother told that her kids didn't know the PTU during the interview

Oops! It's really risky to apply PTU/ENG!  However, SC will not consider to let the BB join Chin/Eng class if PTU/ENG is full?

Do you think that SC will hold more PTH/ENG class as it is popular among mom.

4 classes at Norfolk campus.  Besides, the PTH/Eng class is quite new (just started to have these classes 2 year ago?)  I suppose there is a resources/ Mandarin teachers limitations.  SC said these classes are supposed for those children who has at least a parent who can speak PTH.

Dear Yanamami,

We realized that there are ~900 pupils in SC. Only 4 classes at K1 sounds too little.

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Around 20 K1 classes (10 for am, 10 for pm) per year? At most 600 K1 pupils only.
