ESF CAT2 K2學生會否落第ESF Primary?

lovelyteresa

因報了ESF K1， 女女暫時是CAT1，但相信在香港過兩年會變成CAT2懂廣東話，想請問有否CAT2 ESF Kindy家長分享考進／落選ESF的原因及過程？因想入ESF K1其實只是最終想入KGV, 所以很希望得到過來人意見，謝謝幫忙！

They are all good Primary IS.

Hong Kong Island seems have more primary IS.  Why not try KCIS, KIS or JIS if you are not living two far away and love IS.

If I am asked to sell luxury goods in a poor district, I would say no.  Would you?

Well, sometimes saying no is itself a luxury {:1_1:}

Land in Hongkong is expensive, may be it was a choice between a poor location and no location.

It is not just strange, DC's location does not make sense if their target children are local.

Coming back to the location bit.

It would be logical for ESF to put their primary schools reasonably close to their kindergartens, so Bradbury School is next door to Hillside, Clearwater Bay School is near to Abacus, Renaissance is near to Wu Kai Sa, and Bauhinia School which was in Lai King was near to Tsing Yi.

Discovery College was built to replace Bauhinia which closed it's doors in 2008, may be ESF had wanted to locate it in West Kowloon, but there were no available sites and they had to move further West. The location of Discovery Bay was perhaps not a choice but rather a lack of choice.

Because RC/DC are fully IB and it seems most ESF schools are not IB yet?

ESL PIS implements IB throughout while regular ESF schools adopts IB PYP in primary then switches over to UK GCSE or International GCSE in secondary and then to IB DP at year 12 (when the child is 16 years old).

IB programmes themselves are language independent, why would ESL PIS place particular emphasis on Chinese if not to attract local kids and parents?

More Chinese oriented? I am not sure what evidence have you got. ...

If you compare the curriculum of ESL PIS and regular ESF schools as published on their websites, you'll find ESL PIS have far more Chinese contents.

如果DC的服務對象是本地學生家長，那麼學校選址的人是非常白癡，因為 Discovery Bay 的 expat, 外國人比例 ...

We were talking about Renaissance, not Discovery, but you're right, it appears strange that ESF have built an ESL PIS instead of a regular ESF school in Discovery Bay given the local demographics. May be ESF did not have a free hand in making the decision.

Whichever way you want to look at it, ESL PIS are more Chinese oriented than the regular ESF schools.

你的分析都唔錯，不如講下我個實例，我小朋友係讀RC, 同班同學大半都係esf kinder ...

謝謝您的分享！正因為我係Cat 2，我憂慮如讀了ESF wks而沒有Priority，嗰女可能讀Boxhill更適合她，而且有後路K3，請問你有無聽過Boxhill mos？好似話都有學生入到RC。

絕對同意,  始終RC歷史很短, 高年級都是外來生, 由year1 讀起 到考公開試都還有一段距離, 不過相信, 時間是很好的證明.
至於文武全才方面,  我相信是個別小孩而已,  RC收生 填表/面試都沒要求過出示甚麼證書獎狀等等 不會像考本地直資私校一樣, 又要portfolio , 又一疊疊證書. RC面試純粹看小朋友主動性, 及說話和聆聽技巧, 都是一般普通測試而已, 平常心對待就可以.

但十分奇怪,RC學生的公開試成績卻不及SJS的學生!

會唔會因為RC高年班的學生都是外來生呢? 反而好想見到7年後當RC第一班自己學生公開考試成績呢!!

我大仔家吓讀緊RC, 我覺得佢地好注重小朋友的主動性, 可能我大仔果陣未有咁多人想入, 所以爭得冇咁緊要, 但從佢地既學習過程當中(我都做過課堂上既helper) , 小朋友主動性發問同參與係好重要, 所以我覺得佢地IN個陣, 都會觀察睇重哩部份, 能否取録面試當日既表現先至係最重要, 小兒果陣冇特別既參加課興趣班, 但佢真係唔怕醜對住外藉人仕都可以吹一歺, 所以我唔覺得RC一定要收文武相全既小朋友, 反觀家吓細果2個都好怕羞, 唔肯對住陌生人講嘢, 而今年好多有兄弟係到讀既都唔收, 我果對仲要係孖既,所以我先好擔心.....  


好問心講, 就係因為細既不像哥哥, 我先會比細既讀WKS 係希望對佢地入RC 有幫助, 但宜家咁睇法...好似難啲, 唯有透過多啲活動錬大啲個膽希望會幫到佢地.
