HKUGA & HONWAH

tingmay

Hi Jodi,

Wishes U and your son good luck for the 2nd interview!!

I don't think 'big kid' is better than 'small kid', in my observation, in HW's P1, many small kids la......... and I don't think you should spend 1 more year in K3.  This is just your thinking, do you consider your kid?  If U let your child to repeat K3, then he will be the oldest in the class in P1 (may be).  I don't think this is a good idea.  Just go ahead and don't be so worry about that!!  Natural growth is the best!

Hi Jodi,

My daughter interviewed on Nov 22 becuase we submitted the application form on Nov 18,  the date we moved to Island Resort.  My daughter was admitted by Logos, GT and HW.  I've registered at both GT and HW and we'll choose HW because it's located just opposite to my home, very convenient.

My son pass the 2nd interview la......
Principle Ng took him to have the English class together with Mr. Manson and the P1 students, later have a talk with him....
Although HW is a new school and needs to "absorb" students, I found that they still have their standard requirement and not as "easy" as I thought..... guess they really have the heart and passion to run the primary school to be a good one.
Hope that all of our kids can study in HW happily and enjoy the school life!!!!

So glad to hear, congradulation too!
I heard that HW may have the summer course, learning in mandarin or English for pre-primary1 students like last year.  Hope to see u all there later.

Dear all,

Does anyone know that the route of their scholl bus services? Since i'm living in Happy Valley(quite far) , I need to plan the travel time for my son to go to school.....
Thanks!

snowball

You can take either 8P or 8X to HW.  I believe HW will provide school bus service for all of their Primary students.  I was told by Ms. Yip of HW that some primary school students will take the school bus with Secondary school students.

JodiYang

Hi ckwliu,

I know, but it takes almost 50 mins, since it has many stops in North Point & Chaiwan.....
If available, I prefer taking school bus....
anyway, thanks a lot for your info.

Hi, Jodi
Congratulations!!!

Hi JodiYang,

Congratulations!  Our kids can be classmates in the coming Sept.  Very excited!

Regarding the school bus service, I think you better contact Ms. Yip of HW directly at 2817 1746, she is very helpful and nice.  She definitely can help you.

freddielau

Well, it is too early to call to school for the matter of school bus in 2007...They need more data, students distribution.....etc....better put it to next June when they have more concrete data.

Hi, all the existing and potenial HW parents,

As i phoned to the school today and they said they are still accept application for the P.1 2007-2008 right now??

Any updated news for the school?

i phoned to Ms. Yip today and ask for the curriculum of HW and she said HW is follow the EMB's curriculum but not IB.  One thing which i concern is :  if they follow the EMB's curriculum, then i think the training / pressure is a must for upper primary school.

That means for upper primary, they will switch to more traditional teaching just like St. Margaret - they did said that they will switch to traditional from P. 3.  I'm worry about how the students they accepted active approach for more than 3 years and need to switch to traditional teaching when they get older.

What do you think?
Did HW told the parents that they will use the active approach teaching method from P. 1 to P. 6. Then how about secondary school?

In addition, Can you compare Hon Wah and Shatin Pui Kiu.

As i know, Pui Kiu becames very famous to the parents after the first school year!

Are the curriculum similar with Hon Wah and Pui Kiu?
