York Interview

maggiemai77

dear all Mammies,

i decided to apply PN for my little son only a month ago... so most kindergartens' deadlines are gone.... but i applied for York anyway since most people said it is a good one..... they sent me interview slip for Dec 30. i am wondering, is it actually the second round inteview???? mostly PM vacancies?

所以好難單憑一兩個case就決定學校好唔好,太大外圍因素影響!!!

要教好一個小朋友,點可能單靠每日三小時係學校呢? 我反而希望學校教好學術知識,令小朋友喜歡學習,品德情操就要靠我同老公以身作則,以及所有家人的配合喇~

父母永遠都係影響小朋友做人的態度,其實無論名校與否,我都唔信學校會教壞學生呢!

各位家長,好好努力!

Oh ic , 係蘇浙, 乜你個neighbor咁既, 讀咩學校關佢咩事呢, 點解d反應好似覺得人地入左黑幫咁既, 哈哈!! 入一間好好既幼稚園只係小朋友發展同學習既其中一個里程, 父母既身教先會令小朋友終身受用, 首先要識得尊重別人先啦!!!

我同意品德教育自己父母身教都好緊要
但係, 作為家長亦都希望搵間會重視尼樣野既學校
始終日日返學. 係學校既時間都唔少.
呵, 或者搵日去睇下D 小朋友返學放學... 實地觀察一下

Thanks. I hear that York is strong in English and Maths. I wonder any teaching in Chinese. How about PTH?

YES. THE HEAD CLASS TEACHER IS CHINESE SO SHE SPEAKS IN CANTONESE IN CASE THE KID DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH OR PTH FULLY. THERE'S ALSO HAVING THE CANTONESE TEACHING IN CLASS EVERYDAY.

woh,,,好同意呀, 品德教育自己父母身教都好緊要, 而且邊個邊個的仔女係咪讀個間關我咩事?!.. 我又唔會上等左...最緊要睇你自己要求咩, 自己小朋友性格 等去分析選擇合適的學校..

㸃解你會咁講呢？你話對眼生係額頭真係好好笑，好幽默。我覺得他們整體比較活潑䦕朗（只限我所認識的 和我囡一起坐校車的）每當我和他們打招付時他們都很有禮貌回應我，不會害羞。但我感覺YORK不會重點於德育之培養而是把此留待家長去做。這點是我個人意見吧了。
有一件事可以分享下： 我家樓下住了一個女孩讀（K1)KCX於北角。第一次見到係電梯時佢媽咪問我囡在那裏讀書我話YORK佢個樣即時好難睇然後話我知佢囡讀邊間。我同佢個囡SAY HELLO 佢囡毫無反應.唉！
咁前幾日早上返學同電梯。我囡問佢個囡＂你讀邊間學校呀？＂問了3次佢囡都無反應仲縮係佢阿媽後面。作為家長，係咪應該教自己個囡答人，但佢MUMMY浄係話＂佢咪同某某一間學校囉＂。我覺得品德真係小朋友自身環境培養出來。不可全靠學校。（只是我個人經驗分享吧了）

thanks MAMA-BEANBEAN for sharing.
其實自12月交左留位費之後(PN),
身邊就不斷有好多唔同既意見.
綜觀BAD COMMENTS 都只不過話係好COMMERCIAL既學校...
我想問下你... 你覺得係YORK 讀既小朋友品德如何.
其他同學仔會唔會好無禮貌... 會唔會對眼生係額頭倒？

MY PLEASURE.
PLS NOTE THE SCHOOL FEE I MENTIONED IS FOR K1(N1), NOT PN.

I JUST READ A POST FROM MUMMY SAYING YORK IS KIND OF A TRAINING CENTRE RATHER THAN A GOOD KINDER.
I DON'T THINK, AS THE FACT THAT, SHE / HE GETS THE KID STUDYING IN YORK BUT JUST GAVE THEIR QUITE UNFRIENDLY COMMENTS WITH THE HEARSAY OR IMMIGINATIONS. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY EVEN KNOW MORE THAN US THOSE HAVE KIDS GET THE SCHOOLING IN YORK.

I HOPE THEY CAN EXPLORE THEIR INSIGHT FURTHER WHY TO DEFINE YORK AS " TRAINING CENTRE", HOW COME IT'S A COMMERCIAL KINDER WHILST ANOTHER WELL- KNOWN KINDER LIKE SC/ KV/ KM ARE NOT ? THEIR CIRRICULUMS ARE ALSO VERY PUSHY & MANY OF THE PARENTS TOOK EXTRA TEACHING OUTTHERE TO MAKE SURE THEIR KIDS CAN GET THE OFFERS FROM DSS / PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

HOPE BEING A PARENT THOSE CAN BE MORE RESPONSIBLE & RESPECTFUL.

Thank you MAMA-BEANBEAN... detailed and useful information

MAMA-BEANBEAN

MY GAL IS CURRENTLY IN K1 (YORK CALLED N1) IN YORK INTERNATIONAL. THE SCHOOL FEE IS HK$4,200.00 PER MONTH.
I BELIEVE THE LOCAL STREAM IS HK$3,600.00 PER MONTH.

WE NEED TO PAY THE SCHOOL BUS ADDITIONALLY AROUND HK$855.00 PER MONTH FROM EAST KOWLOON TO KOWLOON TONG & THE SNACK IS HK$300.00 PER MONTH (YOU CAN BRING FOOD / DRINK ON YOUR OWN IF YOU DON'T ORER THE SNACK FROM SCHOOL).

THE MISCELLANEOUS FEE IS APROX. HK$1,700.00 OR SOMETHING FOR THE 1st TERM & IT'S LESSER ON THE 2nd TERM TOTALLY AROUND HK$3,400.00 FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.

THE COST OF SCHOOL BAG / SNACK BAG / UNIFORMS ARE EXCLUSIVE BUT I THINK IS O.K. & QUALITY IS PRETTY NICE OTHER THAN THE CARDIGAN.

NO EXTRA FEE I NEED TO PAY SO FAR COS WE DO NOT JOIN THE ECA EXCEPT THE DONATION TO CHARITY (ONE TIME ONLY SO FAR BUT IT'S NOT COMPLUSORY) SO....IT'S ABOUT HK$6,000.00 ALL-INCLUDE PER MONTH FOR INTERNATIONAL STREAM.

BUT I THINK THE ENTIRE FEE WE PAID IS COMPETITIVE FROM WHAT MY GAL GETS FROM THE TEACHING SO FAR. MY GAL LIKES THE SCHOOL / HER TEACHERS MUCH & ENJOYS THE TEACHING. SHE ALWAYS SINGS LOT OF DIFFERENT ENGLISH / CHINESE SONGS LEARNT FROM SCHOOL, THAT WE DO NOT EXPECT ACTUALLY.
SHE ALSO CAN HANDLE / ANSWER MOST OF THE HOMEWORKS THAT WE HAVE NEARLY EVERYDAY.

THE CURRICULUM IS QUITE PUSHY BUT IT DOES LAYS THE PATH TO APPLY THE PRIVATE / DSS SCHOOLS THAT I THINK MOST OF THE PARENTS (FROM YORK) ARE AIMING AT THOSE SCHOOLS.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

7k is still quite expensive wor.... can any York mammy share the fee pls?

Maggiemei77, do the question is"Can any York mammy share the feeling of expensive fee?"

Yes, I think the fee is quite expensive.  但希望一分錢一分貸，小囡英語能力高。不過york收小女先算。
