原來而家維小都好難入

Jane1983

今日聽朋友講，而家Victoria 幼稚園學生只得不足20%可以入到維小，收咗要比4萬幾元費用留位。當初朋友仲有d吳中意維記歷史短，非IS，而家就好擔心小朋友無地方去。

吳聽佢講都吳意世界真係咁艱難。

You can see overall ESF scores here.  This is one year older than the VSA results published on the website but should still be comparable.

Where are you getting data that VSA is out-performing other school substantially?  It looks to be ahead in Math, but similar or behind the ESF system in reading and both writing.  Are you getting the grades mixed up?

I think most IS took the ISA. My son had it last year. His school compared his school average with the world average and "other like school in HK" average.  A way to let parents know their result are above World and HK average.

只可以與全球有參加的國際學校比較, 香港的國際學校只有部分有參加考試。

I think we are referring to the same test here:

Right, the same test.  I did get individual reports for my girls in the past few years, and I tracked the changes.  The one for 2014 will be held next week.

The organisation is ACER but the test is ISA?

I thought Acer only release the average score for all students who took the test ...

tcbobo refers to International Schools’ Assessment (ISA):

"ISA is an annual assessment programme that has been specially developed to measure skills in mathematical literacy, reading and writing of students in international schools.

The ISA reports provide descriptive information about what students know and can do. The results are analysed from year to year so they can be used to track changes over time at individual and school level."

School will get a report on the overall performance and a report will be issued to each student.  It is very useful to track one's results overs the years.

I thought Acer only release the average score for all students who took the test but not the average for HK.  How do you draw the conclusion that VSA is above other schools?

I observe that there are quite a number of parents who are heavily involved in the kid's homework, most of them are full time mom. Many kids have tutors mainly for Chinese.

詳情要等用家答。
不過凡係多中國人讀的學校，都有忍吾到手的家長。親友仔讀cndis，佢一樣話有d家長太involve。好似Vsa有個學生的媽媽是前model，前一排看雜誌，佢詳列個仔一星期15個興趣和補習班。

講咁多，其實想話也人都有，你有自己宗旨就係啦。

VSA在ISA test for grade 3 的平均分，較其他國際學校（包括ESF)高頗多，相信學生的質素應該很好。

Everyone seems quite positive on vsa here.. Do the parents need to be very involved in all the projects and homework?

同意，同埋睇到近一、兩年課程做好咗好多，收生亦好咗。Keep住，以後幾年，IB成績應該會再上。
我無利益的，係真心意見。

As a relatively new school I think VSA has done quite well in its IB.

至於搵學校，報多幾間你覺得好又適合小朋友的，IB又好、較structured的傳統教學又好，始終現在競爭大，維小亦吾係易入。

想請教一下各位家長。我小朋友同你哋小朋友嘅情況聽落差不多，不過佢而家只有3歲，亦係返緊Vic K1。想早少少了解你哋提及學校俾你哋嘅建議，究竟咩性格嘅小朋友適合讀IB，邊啲唔適合？我小朋友10月細B，超級活潑好動，開朗多話專注力弱(除了看電視、畫畫和聽歌可以專心並安靜下來)。雖然只係K1，但老師都評語佢聰明醒目但真係坐唔定。照咁睇，如有幸上VSA，我又應否擔心佢會對自己無要求(佢真係對自己無乜要求)？或者學Jane講傳統但不太谷的學校比較適合？小朋友的老師喺家長日無俾乜建議，所以想請教下大家前輩。好多人話(包括我自己)都覺得維記好適合佢性格，又或者講，傳統學校太唔適合佢，只會被視為不合作嘅曳學生。但亦有人話應該俾佢去傳統訓練佢定性啲服從啲，頭都大！最慘係競爭大，唔到你話適合的又一定會俾offer你

係咪真係「咁好」，係好難答到你，因為每個人要求和想法吾同。
Vsa係雙語，行IB，學校極鼓勵閱讀，IB成績吾錯，學校連續2、3年出到滿分狀元，個platform係可以培育到人才。

至於小朋友最終成吾成材，達吾達到家長目標，就有好多因素。

真心想間下維小真係咁好？大家都爭住入讀？！
