RC 如收你的小朋友，何時要交果50k呢？

Mokilily

同埋收了後要交幾多個月的留位費，如最終放棄學位，有乜費用可以攞返呢？

My kid has a classmate admitted in the middle of the term which the parent had paid the nomination fee. That means, even u committed to pay the fee, there is no guarantee for passing the interview and admitted in the 1st round.   The school confirm that the interviewers do not know whether the interviewee had paid the fee or not. So it all depends on the performance of the kid first.

not planning to pay 500k to buy an interview chance ...

Actually the interview chance itself cost $50k and not $500k. You pay a $50k initial sum to jump the queue and have the interview ahead of others, and you only pay the remaining $450k if they give you an offer and you decide to take it up. If your child doesn't pass the interview they will even refund your $50k initial payment.

Is it worth it? Well I guess every family will have a different answer.

And somehow we need to face the reality to accept the 2nd best choice especially we are not planning to pay 500k to buy an interview chance.

But we don't even have an interview at the moment, and what i mean is 'in case' RC gives an offer to my son. He is going to have an interview with RC next month but there's no guarantee that he would get an offer.

Sorry I can't agree with you. What I heard is the standard of teaching quality of CDNIS is low and that's why many students need tutor. I have a friend whose two children are studying in HKIS. They do not have tutors and not everyone need a tutor. Maybe those who have tutor are local HKers as they really care their child's academic. And to your point, of course I am the one who is responsible for my child, not a passerby .

Except CNDIS, there are some ESF schools like SIS, they also provide primary n secondary programs.

Student in is learn by themselves? Almost every student in CDNIS has a tutor only reflecting the deficiency of the teaching quality of the school and the background of the students( may not be smart enough so they need a tutor?) how is this related to the quality of RC?

If SJS is your cup of tea, you better spare the places to other kids who wish to study at RC.  It will be painful to to get stuck in the 2nd best choice for years.

Perhaps a few points we should be mindful when making the so called "comparison" and facts should be evidenced rather than just personal perception.


1. More foreigners do not mean better learning environment.  Likewise, having famous people like artists means nothing. Having student lives on HK island is also senseless comparison. Top IB schools  like LPC is not located on the Island side either.


2. Having more students with tutor means what? Should we encourage student to learn independently for being a responsible inquirer as IB advocates?


3. RC is part of the ESF system. The only difference is that it receives no recurrent subsidy from the government. In fact, government will stop giving subsidy to new students in subsidized ESF schools starting 2013. Eventually, all will become non-subsidized PIS.  


4. On 2012 IBDP results, CDNIS have 53% of cohorts reaching 35 point and above while RC is 50%. Mean grade score is 5.2 out of 7 while CDNIS is 5.6 which is comparable to SC or KGV under the ESF system.  


5.  Having said that, it is notably that RC academic score is coming up year by year and the recent batches of cohorts come from other schools. It will take a few years more to see the performance of those intake brought up staring from Year 1.

All in all, I doubt very much your arguments on RC as being "so so" in student and parent mix, teaching method, and teachers' quality which is unfair to the RC community.  


Be a responsible person, I am not saying CDNIS is not a good school because I can by no means have the first hand experience in both schools, so not in a position to compare  which is better.
