Hi Xerox, pslau and Mslee07,

Some questions about Kingston, pls check PM.

Yes sometimes, but not much (幾十至一百). Usually for extra materials, or field trips, or extra activities...

We are also from ordinary family. My son takes school bus to school. Of course, there are students who come from well-off families, but there are also students who come from middle class families. All IS and private schools are like this. So, don't make it bother you too much :)

本人希望女兒能夠考進這間學校,因為我們很喜歡學校是真正的小班教學,而且每天都有中文課堂,又經常看到一些関於學校很好的評價,所以希望女兒能夠考進這間學校,不過有一個問題想問一問,希望各位家長唔好介意,其實本人是–個普通的家庭,屋企唔會有工人,女兒返學放學唔會有車接送,其實家庭環境在同学之間會唔會有所比較呢！(因我朋友的女兒曾經响學校試過這種事而唔開心)謝謝

Yes, homework everyday. Chinese writing + English and/or Math / Unit work. A Chinese book sent home to read on Friday. A book to read every week (borrow from school library), your child can choose English or Chinese. Also, a Chinese reading program: read on-line "one passage a day", your child is encouraged to read everyday.

So, not too much homework, but I guess more than some other IS.

Chinese standard is probably better than many IS. I don't know about Math. I think it is ok if you compare to other IS. But of course, both Chinese and Math are not as tough as local schools.

My son comes home telling me what he learns at school, which he didn't do so when he was at local kinder. So, I guess he enjoys it there very much.

請問學校是否每天都有功課？學校的中文和數學程度是怎樣？謝謝各位

It takes half an hour to go to Kingston from Shatin and the cost for the public bus is around HK$528 per month (for the child and one adult). If you take the school bus, that'll be HK$1500.
