I am seems talking too much about GH in this thread. Any other TSL parents can share the school life of their kids in TSL, so that the parent in concern can get more information to analyse whether their daughter should go for GH or TSL.

We also live far away from the school and my daughter take school bus to school. Some ECAs that my daughter take are not at school. Usually, the ECAs of the school just one hour per week and will use the last lesson and so they can take the school bus back to home. However, my daughter also joined the school Dance team so need extra two hours class on the other day where cannot take the school bus and my maid will go to school and pick her up back to home once per week.

GH has phonics/oral lesson teached by NET and also has PTH subject.  I am hesitate to comment their English level since different people have different standard in their mind. To me, it is good in my standard.

Bon_Bon_Pa_Pa,

I read this thread a bit late and didn't join the discussion.  When you mention about ECAs on Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu..etc.  Do you mean it just occupies the last lesson but just 2 days to pick her separately after school ends?  I am living slightly far from the school, so this is my concern.  Another question is about the English, do you think the accent is good?  Is there phonics lesson?  How about Putonghua?

From  talking to you ,  I find GH not only pick kids ( from their performance) , but they select parents.  I found you and I have some common characteristics.

We think for the kids, we are not too pushy.

I hope your daugther will enjoy even more this year and the years comings in GH.

I know girls ( very good and smart ) studying a very good kln tong location private primary.  They need to find a good secondary and need to push for musical instrucments.....

My girl loves painting and very good in english poetry , recitation and drama. I hope she can further develop her talents.

My daughter started to learn swimming in K3, but the significant improvement on her swimming skills is during the P1 at GH. I just want her to learn and capable to swim at her own and not aim to push her to join the swimming team, so she started late compare with some friend's kids. However, she can swim over 800M non-stop now although slow, it's amazing to me since even her parents cannot do that.

Hi Ewongmum, forgot to share one thing that start from P2, every pupil need to select at lease one ECA from school. Therefore, if the pupils have not yet select one at end of P1, then they have to do it at the beginning of P2 (There are many interest classes other than sports for selection, such as doing art works, English reading, home economics, etc.). My daughter finally chose dancing ETA as per her own interest and also joined the school Dance team as well. As she joined the school Dance team, so she need to spend two hours in addition per week to practice more, similar to other school leisure teams. On Friday, all the dance team members of 5 grades (P2 to P6) will sit in a same room at last session class to do home work and the elder class pupils will be mentor of lower class team members. I think that is good for my girl since she is still young and naive, and can learn and build relationship with elder Good Hopers.

One thing that GH may be different from HY that I heard a statement from the principal of GH said to the parents in a school briefing session held in Sep this year - "Why you need to push your daughter to learn piano or musical instrument so hard to get grade 8 in her primary school life. Your daughter doesn't need a good certificate for this since she already in a good school, right? She has 12 years time in Good Hope, let them enjoy the process of this leisure instead up play hard for achievement."

I really agree and appreciate the words from the principal.

When did your daugther start learning swimming ? I have not yet let my girl learnt swimming yet.   Thinking about this starting April /May. Or should I join in P1 ?

Many many thanks again.   Hearing some real info. and comments is a real relief for me.

Appreciated.

It's my pleasure to share info with other parents since I received valuable info from BK parents two years before which really help me a lot.

Teachers will start to ask the class for ECA interest at the end of P1 around June. As I know, there is no painting ECA (other GH parents correct me if I am wrong).

Both English and Chinese subjects in GH are studied 1 grade higher than some primary schools (As I know many elite primary schools also study 1 grade higher). Maths has to learn both Chinese and English Maths, General Studies is English. These are 4 major subjects having the mid term assessment and examination. They have PTH, Music, RK, Visual Art, Computer(start from P2), P.E. subjects as well.

I think your girl is good at academic and should have no problem. My daughter enjoys the school life very much. She also back to school on every Saturday to attend Swimming class (it is open to public to join the swimming class). Indeed, the swimming pool of GH is quite good in facility and coach, and my daughter can manage to swim all four styles in P1.

Hi Bon Bon_Pa_Pa

Nice to meet you and thank you for your kind advise.  Your info. is so helpful to me as, I don't know anyone who is studying GH primary.   

Do they ask their interests ( ECA ) at the End of P1 or beginning of P2 ? ( so I know I can remind my girl.)    Do they have Painting (  Art) ?


In comparion , do you find GH's english standard is higher or Chinese standard is higher ? Do they teach 1 grade higher like other private school .


My girl is studying at K3 Creative Primary school kindergarten, a very happy school.  So I am kind of worry.  But her acadamic is very good, cos , we teach ourselves.   

Apprecaited your advise again :) Cheers

My daughter is studying P2 now and not from GH Kindergarten, but St. Cat. There is no list of school ECA published, but I there is English recitation where Eng teacher will select pupil to join and train them up. If your daughter has pre-train on this, should have advantage, but ask your daughter to raise hand and be initiative if Eng teacher ask the class who has interest on the ECA. I know some pupils may be shy or hesitate to raise hand or voice out so miss the chance to join some popular ECA. This is another way to test whether the pupils are being initiative or really have interest on the ECA instead of send notice for parents to select the ECA for their girls.

Ewongmum

where can I see the info. of the ECA ?  My daugther is good at eng. recitation.  any school team ?  We have not joined the choir.  but to be selected, they have to pre-trained singing ? many info. I want to know .

GH係某程度上是比較嚴，因學校很注重德育和紀律，有些父母起初不習慣包括我。校長說你想不想學校教好你的小朋友，我想所以我會配合，我都希望我囡囡不會成為「港孩」。老師的確有要求學生寫字靚，但沒有嚴厲的責罰，我也認同要寫字靚，因可以訓練小朋友專心和集中。唔同老師可能有不同處理方法，所以有可能有些老師會嚴些都唔奇。學校要求學生在小息時去廁所，不要在上堂時去，這是紀律，要遵守。我相信大部分小學也是這樣，我們那些年讀小學時不也是一樣嗎？老師識分別如她們是不舒服會容許她們去廁所的。

Thank you for your info.  , some people also told me the teachers are very strict.  Many discouragement about their writing not beautiful.  students cannot go to toilet during lesson, really ??  or it is just bad words.  Please kindly advise.

I think , my daugther got in Good Hope really with God 's grace, as it is only little seats available. and many many smart girls , she is not the only one. I always wanted a Girl school for her.  

Thank you so much indeed. :)
