很开心原来大家对WKF的期望是这样高，就算是好过一般的DSS学校也是不够的，我对她的要求也是这样。
学校的英文教学安排令人（我）满意，我想做这样安排的人是明白同学们的母语不是英语，所以要用三年的时间来密集地学习Phonice，要按程度分小班上课，Guided Reading还要再按程度分小组，按我所知，三年级的同学都在很积极地看课外书，他们二年级末的读书报告是Stanley系列，学校在阅读方面做出了成绩，就我所知，三年级的同学在看Magic Tree House, Black Lagoon, Captain Underpants, Horrid Henry, etc. 我满意了，因为我自已没什麽英国文化，而现在小孩喜欢看书，够了。只要喜欢阅读，语文没有不好的。
According to the case of last year, the school called most of the waitlist candidates for registration. We went for the interview last year, it looked difficult to get in in the early stage but in fact not. Most of the waitlist candidates and some of the "knock door" candidates got the seats.

Is the new principal (the ex-vice principal ?) better than the one who quit suddenly last year? The school policy and stable staff support are very important to the students. if the new principal stands firm on the policy, then it will be a definite benefit to the kids. I really hope that everything has been settled or to be settled very soon so that both the hardware and software (teaching & administration) provide a very good foundation for paving the good development of WKF, a first-class school.
What a sensitive question!
其实作为家长能知道多少呢，只能说说感觉（对被评讲者很不公平）。旧的副校长来自国际学校，旧的校长来自官校，她们的经历会影响她们的取向。我本人对英文科颇满意，我猜英文课程该出自旧的副校长手笔吧。她不喜欢操练语法，其实是不合部份家长心意的，只不过现在看到小孩英文的进步，是不可能由操练得来，虽心有疑惑，也不怎麽出声罢了。旧的校长突然离去，在社会上不大不小的搅出了一点回响，对学校的声誉伤害很大。对很多人现在还有负面影响，真是败事有余啊。不过，旧的不去，新的不来，还是好事！

As told my friends, the turn-over rate of WKF teacher was very high and the school administration was in a mess. Has it been settled down yet ? If your kid is studying in WKF, please help to clarify.
Second year's turn-over rate of WKF teachers was lower then first year's. The school administration are much better now. One can say the school administration is good or ok lar.

If your kid studies in WKF or your work for WKF, may you mind telling us the no. of NATs in the school and how do you feel about the new principal when comparing the last one. These information will be useful to the parents including me. Thank you
The new chief principal is from Hong Kong International School. He has been there for many years. He was one of the principal there until this year. No one can doubt his qualification and experience. Sure he need to learn the local education system. One can't know how he is going to perform his duty, but one thing is sure that he is a nice guy and he knows how to handle people.
