Tingmum,

Why don't you consider Outward Bound programmes instad ?
I feel more comfortable for kids to be somewhere in HK.
Outward Bound offers programmes for kids below 11y, 11y+ and teenagers, during summer hols, Christmas hols and Easter hols, usually 5d4n.
Need to ask them to fax you the info.

我路過好奇問句，您的問題是在問TSL學校內的Mr. Yeung, 還是問王國內有名的 Principal 呢?
其實我想都幾需內部答案..不如電郵去學校較好，他們應有人誠意回覆的，真校長可能會看這裡，但在這裡覆您便等於表明了自己身份?!
路過的，不合您聽的話請別介意
以下是 TSL 學校的email address.

校長：

我想問閣下以下的問題。

(1) 貴校的學生來自香港各區，近自油尖旺，遠至屯門。在功課量及課外活動的安排上，貴校會否配合／遷就家住老遠的學生呢？

(2) 貴校採用「傳統教學」還是「活動教學」？

(3) 貴校有否設有「精英 ...

(1)

不會. 因做事要求公平，就一邊另一邊又問點解這樣那樣，在者家庭方面不能將所有事要校方遷就..正如若父母以工作不能走開，而需校方在放學/受傷/假期照顧小朋友的話，那學費相信不止 $1480 了。
(2)
貴校採用「傳統教學」還是「活動教學」？
相信兩者皆有。60%活動 + 20%傳統 + 20%其他.
(3) 貴校有否設有「精英班」？另外，貴校會否堤供「額外的支援」給予成績差的學生呢？
沒有「精英班」.成績差的學生要額外的支援…成績好的要特優的支援。唔..
(4) 貴校是怎樣令到學生「愛上返學」呢？
有吸引他們的事/人/物。至於是什麼..那是商業秘密!!
(5) 貴校有沒有「一生一體藝」類似的計劃呢？
算有. 名稱未必如題。
(6) 一班約有多少人？Non-native cantonese speaker 在一班中，約佔多少人呢？
1/4
(7) 最後，貴校怎樣解決校內種族之間的分歧及同學文化間的差異呢？
看多了便習慣，小朋友容易和人友好，如成人則難了。沒什麼分歧啦! 文化方便課內外有教的。放心!

不是校長..是路人^O^

TINGMUM,

One-month may be too tough for kids.
Perhaps 1-2 weeks are already tough enough for them.

In case they will go to “少林寺”, the good thing is that they may treasure what we have in HK when they are back after 1-2 weeks’ hardship training.
Also, it is a very good training for their strong will.

Another good point is that they will then have more chance to practise their Mandarin during that period.


Bluestar,

Outward Bound programmes should be a very good idea to train up their independence.

我都有幫佢地報 outward bound programme, 聽日佢地兩個會出發去3日2夜.  

今個月我打算親身上去少林寺了解實地環境, 遲D再同你分享.

E-PRINCIPAL,
你講的岩, 學MANDARIN亦是目的之一.

principal

TINGMUM,

You will do an on-site inspection prior to your children's trip!

You are really a good mother!!

Tingmum,

I'm sure they will learn a lot from the 3d2n outward bound programme !

Will tell piglet that your kids are going !  (Hope he will be more interested.)

I'm gathering a party of kids for 5d4n Outward Bound next year.  (Well not too many, cos they don't accommodate many kids in 1 round.)

But Typhoon Signal No. 1 has just been hoisted.  You should look out for calls from Outward Bound re typhoon arrangements woh.

I'm more comfortable with the idea of Outward Bound in HK than Shaolin in China !

Bluestar

hoimanee,

Love your answer !!

(6) 一班約有多少人？Non-native cantonese speaker 在一班中，約佔多少人呢？
1/4
The distribution was given in school website in past years.  Not sure whether the data is available nowadays.

種族之間的分歧及同學文化間的差異 - There is no problem (分歧,差異) at all !  Kids of other races usually treat me (a parent) even better than local Chinese kids !!

hello all,
just back from vacation!
longtime no see... unfortunately not long enough... if i could just have more holidays....
“少林寺” interesting interesting for the topic you discuss!!!
tingmum,
i would like to know more as well!!

principal

flostangraphy,

Welcome back!   

As you have not showed up on E.K. for more than a week, I also guessed that you were away for summer vacation.
Back to France for summer holiday??
 
Any souvenirs for us?? 


Without your presence, most of TSL’s threads become rather quiet these days!  

Don’t forget the important day on next Monday!
BTW, have you made up your mind yet (i.e. French stream or Chinese stream)?

flostangraphy,

No wonder you didn't show up for a while.  How's your holiday? We wait to see your vacation photos!:)

Re.:少林寺. The trip is on next week.  Kids will go with me this time.

RE.: Primary one Application.  Think twice before you send the application form.    If I were you, I would definately pick French stream.  

principal

TINGMUM,

After your return from 少林寺 the week after next week, I guess nobody dares to tease you from now on as you should have learnt some ‘Chinese kung-fu” by that time!!

Well, I will let kids watch the film "Kung Fu Panda" before we go!!

principal

flostangraphy,

I agree with TINGMUM.

Although I have been trying to analyze the pros and cons with you in the past few weeks, I did not indicate any suggested choice to you as this is your personal decision.

In case your son will be admitted to the French stream, you can be more relaxed on both French and Chinese languages because these two subjects should not be too difficult for your son as the basic Chinese taught will be somewhat easier than the normal Chinese curriculum for the Chinese pupils.

And apparently you may want to teach your son a bit more on both languages with your own syllabus, depending on what level you aim at.
At least, your son should be able to manage the schoolwork in a more comfortable manner when compared to a pupil in the Chinese stream.

But in case your son will be admitted to the Chinese stream,we can imagine that it will be very tough for you on the Chinese subject as you are the only one who can help him with the Chinese schoolwork.

Sometimes if you come home late after work, your wife cannot help you/your son on the Chinese subject at all.

You have to shoulder all the responsibility yourself!

Hi Principal,

My son will be entering P1 in 2010 and Camoes is my top choice.  He is studying in a Mandarin school right now as I want him to be fluent in Mandarin.  He is very weak in Cantonese but fluent in English.  How's Mandarin level at Camoes as I really don't want him to miss the chance to learn fluent Mandarin?

Thanks very much.

principal

bobee,

In P1, there are 2 Mandarin lessons per week and the Chinese subject is taught in Cantonese as P1 is the transition period from K3.

But from P2 onwards, all Chinese lessons will be conducted in Mandarin (except the non-Chinese students and a few special cases requested by their parents) and the pupils are required to speak in Mandarin only during Chinese lessons.

Outside the classroom, I would say most TSL pupils speak in either English or Cantonese.

I would only say that the pupils will have more exposure to Mandarin during the Chinese lessons when compared to other primary schools where Cantonese is used to teach Chinese subject.
Whether a pupil can speak fluent Mandarin will also depend on if the kid will have other chances to practise Mandarin at home or in his/her daily life or not?

But in case your son is studying at a Mandarin kindergarten now and you will also speak some Mandarin to him at home, he may be able to maintain quite a good level of Mandarin.
