SIS

Aooyee

How's your child's interview with SIS? I was told there were questions about shapes and colors. That's all my 3 year old child could tell.

A son of my close friend is studying in sis p2 . They are a pure hk family. His son speak fluent English in perfect structure and standard accent. No singlish or so at all. But my friend said its common among the group they are playing with but his son will joke with her by speaking in singlish sometimes. His son said even his Singaporean  will joke in singlish too.

So you mean they can easily switch between native English and sing/HK-flush? Very funny

Wow. very detailed description and analysis. You may consider Linguistic study for your university.

Agree. Their expectation, requirement and training on students are very high. As I see, most of the kids are fluent in both eng and pth speaking.

Many thanks for your advice!

I did notice the said guidelines, but I just hope to be able to let my daughter be a super-big BB, if possible. Thanks again!

報名表格有guideline，生于邊一年報那一級。不過，在同學中有大B，認識2個系12月超大。

Does SIS accept "super big B". If my daughter was born at end of November 2011, can she apply for PY1 in the academic year 2016/17 (rather than 2015/16)? Kindly advise. Thanks.

想問問現在仔仔囡囡讀𡁵SIS嘅家長，長遠是否都會要小朋友到外國留學？或留在香港讀大學？

since the English teachers are mostly from US, UK, Canada etc.....I found even the Sing students do not have Sing accent...

Thanks all!


Minirat: This is just a personal concern. I'm not against it but just wonder. I do have lots of Singaporean friends, but they tend to say three as 'tree'. They just tend to miss out the 'th' sound in all the words.

I couldn't help but wonder why is Singaporean English accent "strong" in particular, compared to other accents?

It is so intriguing that this question has been hovering over the head of the school like a ghost for so many years...haha...the best way to find out the truth is to come to talk to the students....

没有，非Singapoean其實好難真系pick up到果種accent的，因為那是24/7，家庭的訓練。尤其小朋友已識講英文，佢地已有自己一套。

學校的雙語課程、教學和語境，是非常好。

想請問你囡囡全級100人中，有多少個小朋友是香港人呀？

昨天有報章的報導提到，現時SIS全校學生中 47% 為新加坡籍，即non-Singaporean 為53%, 這算是一個比較官方的數字。不過留意到自從近年開了中學部後，是多了新加坡小朋由PY 開始讀上去。
