same pt of view,,and one more is almost all interviews for K1 is conduct in cantonese lei..hehe

see u too in KM tomolo

my girl is am session too

bobo1314

For my case, my daughter got a place in Creative(Tsing YI), then Tsuen Wan Luk Yeung and Tsuen Wan Canan......I don't know how my daughter would perform during interviews of other kinders, so I paid 660 to make sure a seat one by one! WOW, let's count, 660X 3, I've paid 2k for registration la !

I also applied LH Tsing Yi, but being small B, be interviewed in late May, has been definitey placed on  waiting list, so I won't consider LH la !

As I know, the results of LH have already be released, how come you still struggle between KM and LH, yours is also small BB?

I wrote "no" on KM questionaire when asking the preference of pm session, if you want am session, write to Principal la! or see if anyone on BK would like to swap with you, i think it will be easier to shift !

Before KM, my offer in Tsuen Wan Luk Yeung is pm, I have to queue up for 2 hours to get a place on waiting list to am, I once thought no hope to shift to am, but at last, 2 months later, I was told I could shift to am ......so don't miss any chance if you've made up your mind!

haha, both SPC and SH are not easy to get in, so no need to bother moving unless I actually receive the acceptance letter la. will definitely try for other kinders for k1 in kowloon side, just there ...

bobo1314

for those who have registered KM today, have you noticed the green "book" for new N1 pupil?

They wrote sth as " for N1, they have priority to be promoted to K1 without application again...."

I think I will ask the KM staff to clarify on orientation day later !

we also applied Luk Yeung, but waiting list only, after the incident with Luk Yeung, glad that we are on waiting list coz at least won't need to waste $$ for registration. as we were on waiting list for 5 schools interviewed, so I called TY Creative for application by mid-March, as I applied the more "reknown" schools only except for Luk Yeung as it's close from home. TY Creative asked me to interview very quickly, but I told them I was out of town to delay the interview in order to wait for the interview results of KM and LH, then can save $$ to pay. hehe, luckily that we got accepted finally

we also got offer from LH (Hampton, not TY), so struggling what to choose now. most of my HK based friend asked me to pick KM, but then my friends back from canada asked me to pick LH as the exposure will be bigger, so a difficult choice.

wow, your girl must be very smart to get so many offers! so you still going to LH's interview?

Hi Mamas

I just find this topic.  Thank you for sharing.

Hi eggmama
My girl also will attend the Victoria PN at PM sesssion this coming Aug.   Can you share the information of the school bus, as I live in Ting Kau, I found it is very difficult to find the school bus from Victorea Homantin to my home.  Therefore I need to choice Shem Tseng the near location of my home to drop my girl.  Do you have any school bus company willing to pick up the toddlers at PM sesstion from Victoria to Ting Kau / Shem Tseng / Lai Shing
Many thanks

Hi allyson's mami,

my daughter's name is Michelle, I think there is a chance to arrange yours and mine into the same class as their dates of birth are close!

You plan to move ? it's great to have a better school net in future, but lots of my colleauges' kids go to school (from K1 to P6) in Kln Tong, but they still live Taipo, Fanling. They said it doens't take much time to travel, but it is the case of 保姆車，
school bus may be longer!

I went to the registration on sat, but a bit disappointed that KM doesn't let pn class to go to the outdoor playground to play. although i can understand this is for safety, their outdoor playground is one of the considered factors to me...

bobo1314

Really, so disappointed ! outdoor playgroup is also one of my concern to apply for KM!!!!

Elmolly, regarding yours last message, my kid is not smart , be honest, she also failed in Victoria interview, she's got offers just because the competition among kinders in Tsuen Wan/Tsing Yi is not keen! I think yours is smart as she's got a place in LH Hampton!

Of course, I will go to the interview of LH coz I've paid $30 fee, just give my kid a chance to face strangers!

You are struggling between LH and KM, just provide you some info for reference!
1. my friend said KM is good, primary allocation is good, and his son studied PN in KM, then K1 in SC and now K2 in CCKG

2. Heard from other BK mami, most Kln tong primary schools do know KM, but not LH or HKPS

3. compared the primary allocation , KM is better than LH (Tsing YI)

yes, i do value quite a lot for outdoor playground, if just talking about indoor,  LH is bigger and cleaner. most people also asked me to pick KM, but primary school allocation is depends on your home address instead of school's add. if talking about DSS/private school, LH's hit rate to TCL and CKY is much better than KM from the allocation results of both school's web, so very headache.

no la, my girl is shy in front of strangers, but the teachers of LH (Hampton) are very very nice, they guided her patiently, so she could complete the tasks well, but my friend went to TY's campus, she told me the teachers there are cool though. we also applied Luk Yeung, but waiting list only ja

Hi, mama"s" in Sham Tseng, I live in Sham Tseng too.  My daughter was bornt last year. I'm planning to apply for pre-nursery in coming sep/oct and hopefully she'll be enrolled next year.  The major problem is she's my first child and I know nothing about the nursery/kinder in TW/ TY/ KLN.  Can you give me some hints?  How should I choose school? when should i take action? which schools are good?
Sorry for so many queries cos' i'm really an idiot in this area.

rach_mama

Dear all Sham Tseng / Bellagio mamas, I just started Nursery looking for my daughter too. My baby was born in 2008. So, I wonder if I shall apply this year or next year. I am targetting LH too. But, will it be too far from Sham Tseng to Hung Hom? Beside, is there school bus services from here to there?

Sorry for so many questions...

you need to know what you are looking for first?

distance? then look for schools in Tsuen Wan or Tsing Yi

better path for k1? then Kowloon Tong

personally would not recommend PIPS and Luk Yeung kinder.

you can consider TY and Hampton Loft LH (west kowloon) instead of Hung Hung. the environment and teachers of Hampton are very nice, you can call for a visit before you send the application. it takes 35 mins by school bus for pm class, 45 mins for am class.

rach_mama

35 mins is not too bad! I am taking my daughter to Kowloon Tong for playgroup every Sat now. The journey take about the same. My concern is more the English enviroment. Is HB provide a good english enviroment? I meant whether students are speaking english in the class?
