好勁呀, 連教統局的人也問過, 咁你係2nd in 既時候有咩野問佢地呀

聽聞this school的課程較淺和不太谷小朋友,所以問會否影响日後派位的競爭力？
還有關於一些課程和課外活動安排

果日話就話約11:30am, 我地等咗成個鐘先到. 最好預2個鐘頭就冇死.

冇家啦, 一交留位費, 你要簽紙放棄自行收生, 大抽獎就更加唔洗想.

我自己因為唔想仔仔讀番住果區, 自行收生選既la salle 機會又好微 (唔一 ...

hi gordon and 一家三口,

你地唔駛客氣, 其實我都係受前人恩惠, 我三年前揀呢間學校, 果時學校更新更加無人識, 我比你地更多憂慮, 都係多得裡面既熱心家長係bk比咗好多資料我, 我先夠膽搏一搏, 咁我囡囡先有機會讀到間我認為係好既學校.  所以我好明白你地既心情, 我希望自己受惠之餘亦可以幫到其他人多d了解學校.  跟住就將呢個棒交比你地啦.

我很想知道小朋友初入到全英語小學會否很難適應？

每班有一位外籍老師同中國人老師做班主任, 開學初期一般都會先講英文再用中文講返d重點比小朋友聽, 小朋友可以慢慢適應.  小一既課程唔算深, 好容易pick up, 而且課程係學校自己編制, 比較有趣, 小朋友學語言好快上手, 問題唔大.

Thank you for your reply!

我一心係想仔仔讀英文學校, 有$我會放佢入international school.

lay 間學校既理念同我想既好match, 加上有G-Ma 既報料, 所以就簡st. margaret.

而且我一向比佢上開expat教既英文堂, 而我又會同佢講, 所以佢會enjoy more than 果d中國人學講英文既老師lor (即係我地講既chin-English).

至於其他subjects, 學校亦冇話會放棄, 佢地都要小朋友中, 英, 數 pass 先得.

Tsung Tsin has accepted my son but I will release the place very soon.

I have applied DBS, TSL, KTS, Alliance and St. Francis. Once you have confirmed a DSS, it just mean you can't join the government central allocation system and 1st lucky draw, you still can choose DSS and private school.  

The reason I applied KTS and Alliance is they don't need to submit the form in person, so I applied but probably not going for the interview cus they adopt Chinese as main language. DBS is just for my son to gain experience. The english standard of the teachers of TSL is not good, this is what I say chin-English (教壞d英文口音). St. Francis not sure yet cus they have a very good English foundation but not Trough-train.

Wa...just read through all messages abt St. Margaret.  It seems rather good wor, especially the curriculum which includes Spanish, French and Japanese for just P.1 and P.2.  So wonderful wor!

I'm just regret for not applying it.  Actually, I'm waiting forthe 1st interview arranged by DBS & CKY.  I have no sufficient confidence but just give attempt for my boy.

If any parent here know abt 2nd round admission of St. Margaret, pls inform me immediate so that I can apply it for my boy ma~

Tkx a lot

CheCheMan,

So do you think SM is similar or better than CKY as both have through train secondary and use native teachers but SM is a DSS with lower school fee than CKY?

CKY 係走IB, 小學課程好似讀到p5, 中學學費又好貴, 之前我成日入佢地topic 8 既! CKY鼓勵小朋友係班裡面講英文, 好多小朋友都做到;不過英文oral 同IS, 一定有距離.
我過問陳守仁個小妹妹,係咪係班裡面d同學一定講英文, 小妹妹話: 係班裡面d同學都係講中文既!(當然上堂答問題就英文)
SM就唔知啦? 不過有家長去interview, 聽到SM d小朋友之間傾計係講英文, 十分雀躍. 實際係點就唔知啦!

Hii catcatmom,

st. margaret's d小朋友係課堂上老師會要佢地講英文, 有d老師會要求學生與學生之間都要講英文.  到小息時, 本地學生自己玩埋一齊唔多唔少都會講番廣東話+小小英文, 但如果有外籍小朋友一齊就會講英文.  

每班都有外籍小朋友, 所以好多講英文既機會.  我囡囡都有外籍同學打電話比佢傾計.

Tkx.  Actually, I phoned them last week and the staff/teacher told me that the 2nd round interview would take place on both 22/10 and 23/10 and all the seats for 08' P.1 would then be finalized by the end of Oct.  

The staff/teacher told me that they may arrange 2nd round admission, but subject to how many places will be released after the "lucky draw".   Moreover, some applicants they received after 10/10 still on hold and not assign the interview schedule for this batch.  So, there is a pile of applicants on their hand awaiting for the 2nd round admission.

Anyway, I'll try this school but may be after the1st interview of both DBS & CKY.  At your view, will it too late or may try to submit application at that moment for 2nd round admission/arrangement as "safe net"?  

Cheers

Hi WYMom,

Actually, I have no idea abt SM but just got info from BK and found its teaching method and curriculum is rather impressive and meet my requirements.  

I only applied DBS & CKY for my boy while SM will be treated as "back up".  However, I've missed the 1st round admission coz I've phoned SM and the staff/teacher told me that the deadline for 1st round has be passed (which on 10/10).  So I may wait for 2nd round admission lor~

While for TSL, KTS..heee...sorry, I haven't applied wor~ coz I don't buy their traditional teaching method.  To me, English and Putonghua are a MUST languages for our next generations to learn, so I target schools which will provide strong language learning basis in both Eng & Putonghua for my boy.

CheCheMan,

CheCheMan

I like CKY coz they have NET teachers to teach Eng and other subjects.  Chinese would be tough by Native Putonghua teacher.  As I know, all students in the school (from P.2 - P.6) are required to speak in either Eng or Putonghau.  It does encourage students to speak in these two languages in such circumstances.

For DBS, it surely proved its teaching method with such long history.

Hence, I applied these two for my boy.  But when I walk thur' BK, I found SM seems a rather good school and their teaching method & curriculum also meet my requirement, so I will try it as "back up" lor~  Wish I have chance for 2nd round admission la~  heee...:
