Anyone know how much is the school fee of PN class?

janice007

what about interview language? cantonese or english?

I think this year is a bit different. Because before there was no ITT, only headstarts at Breamer Hill. However when we decided to join ITT, they say more promising from ITT than the headstarts class to get a seat in PN.

Do all the PN students come from their head start class?
From your figures, there is only around 20% chance for those with no connections.

Thanks.  Your daughter is really smart to be accepted by two top tier school ...

Thanks

But I think for PN it's luck more than her performance / if she is able to get in top schools in during K1 interviews than I'd say she's smart (glad I don't have to go through it because I don't think she can make it)

Hi giselemama

Can you share with us the PN curriculum?

Hi
Can't say much as I didn't end up studying there,  though I have quite a few friend's kids studying there. They didn't used to have mandarin but I heard they started this year. English-based curriculum, quite balanced (not stretched like York/kentville etc, but more academic then SPN). Academically they equip their children well, in particular, their children trained are the types that co-Ed would like to take.

Can you tell us about the questions the Principal would ask at the interview? Our family will have t ...

Group interview - teachers will observe how your child plays and interacts with other kids. Didn't ask me much because they should have known you quite well from the headstart. Only asked how I spend time with her and "how do you support her through her different developmental stage?"
You attended their headstart right? Why is the interview so late this year? I remembered that It was in march last year.

U attend the welcome talk of ITT last year? They mention the format of interview and the successful rate from ITT there.

I think the fee is a lot more than that. I heard goes up from $12000 to $ 18000 this year. And expect some extra cost through out the year.

PN is half day $8000 per month while K1 - K3 is double for whole day class, $16000 a month.

catlee6788

A parent told me that the PN school fee is around $8000-9000/month and that for K1 (whole day) is more than $10,000.

But I think it's worth that much, parents applying this school wouldn't care about much on school fee.

how heard that they only accept 50 to 60 PN students? but their play group has more than 100 students...
anyway, i would like to know about the school fee. do you have any idea?

SL12345

Yes, my daughter is attending the ITT now but the playgroup didn't mention the format of the interview.
