女孩子選校

Yup, in my mind, TL is still very traditional in the sense that pupils must be short hair, no hair accessories is allowed. How come!? Think the every single kids should have their personally, how come they don't allow the kids to have long hair!!??

Also, their English standard is the really my concern. I heard they have only 1 English class a week, no phonics... not sure if it is true.

Actually, no only its "trough-the-train" nature attracts me, also because of the school net. I know Island West is the best school net for girls (consider only HK Island side coz I live in Island East), WanChai & Happy Valley is the 2nd. If I can a seat in TL Primary, I have less worry about her secondary if I don't choose TL Secondary at the end.

>> Ian, please share with me if my understanding is not correct.

>> Charlotte_mum, correct me about if I have wrong understanding about TL.

Thanks.

Hi esther.cy,

But TL is also activity-based learning, is it not "active" enough in you and your husband point of views?

One-dragon certainly helps the parents and particularly for those who are plan ...

Hi esther.cy,

I see what your concerns are, but what you mentioned have no contradictions for TL being activity-based learning bor!    Anyway, I think charlotte_mom can give you much better understanding of TL to help you concerning the curriculum and such.

You are right about the C&W district being a better area compare to Wan Chai when it comes to secondary school allocation.  For primary allocation, definitely net 12 is the best for both boys and girls.  However, for secondary allocation, C&W district is better since it has all but 2 schools which are EMI (after the EDB latest move I think people still consider the schools this way, aren't they?).  The good thing is there are Ying Wa Girls without its own primary school and also St. Clare's which have plenty of places too.  Of course there are St. Stephen girls also but it will have one-dragon soon so that is a factor to consider.  Raimondi also takes in girls now.

For Wan Chai, all the good ones already have their linked primary schools so unless you are part of them already otherwise there are not much advantages.

Ian,

Based on my understanding, P1 allocation depends on where you live. Does it mean the gov' P1 allocation 大抽獎 only consider your reported home address but not considering other factors? Since I am living on Island East (net 16) and I found that not much primary. Those band 1 like 基灣, 聖米加勒 are definitely not my cup of tea. That's why I am thinking about moving to Wan Chai for my kids.

Grateful if you could please help! Thanks!

Cheers,
Esther

Charlotte_mom,

Thanks very much for your kind sharing. You did give me more ideas about another side of TL.

May I know if you know another girls graduated from TL KG but eventually going to other famous Primary? I am fine with TL Primary but also wanna consider other choices as well. Could you please share...

Also, does it mean if I get into TL primary, I can join the luckily draw of getting into those gov't subsidized school like Marymount, etc.??

Other than English, may I know if the TL KG teaches Mandarin??

Sorry for being trouble...

Thanks!

pupils must be short hair, no hair accessories is allowed - true
初時我老公都話我老土架, 揀埋間學校咁.........但後來都ok了, by the way, 我女由小一到而家小4無剪過頭髮(有修下啦), 算係補償掛 長到落腰 ...

The P1 allocation has two parts: The first part is by calculation of points for those who have relationships with the primary schools (for example elder siblings studying there(100%) / parents are old boys/ girls/ same religion, etc.).

The second part has separated to two parts: (i) 10% of spaces for any school in any areas (ii) remaining 90% of spaces in the area you live ONLY.

So your understanding is correct.

唔好聽到真光個名就以為佢係傳統, 真幼好活動架! 我女亦係讀完真幼, 見佢開心又學到野, 越黎越覺得點解一定要傳統, 就決定同佢考左間活動教學既小學, 一條龍上活動教學中學, 攪掂晒!

Charlotte_mom, thanks again.

One more question... TL says they are using "active-based learning" style at TL KG, do you think they are really active-based teaching instead of duck-feeding one? Since I would like my girl to be more active in terms of asking question, problem solving rather than sitting on her seat and study, study and study. Based on this understanding, do you think I should choose TL?

In addition, can you categorized TL girl as active and 活潑one??

Please share, thanks!

路過而已, 多口插咀.

如果你希望好像維記或IS一樣的style,我估真光真係唔係yr cup of tea. 佢幾注重學生守秩序有禮,訓練學生要等老師發言後才發言, 但又一定讓學生暢所欲言,我女返學超開心. 你擔心的填鴨式教育,我估在香港真係絕無僅有啦.

jenjen321

Charlotte mom, do u mind if i ask which school is ur girl in now? how is she enjoying her primary? Just want to know more about schools in hkg. Thank you.

happy07pig

以我所知, 真光唔同聖心, 真光可以俾幼稚園學生留位直升小學又可以參加大抽獎.  但聖心就... 無得咁兩全其美了 , 所以仲煩惱緊好唔好讀聖心, 到小學再煩惱過

我唔係唔信.....只不過係另外一間係 SPC.AM CLASS.... 所以想知多少少........怕幫小朋友選擇錯

我可以肯定講句真光唔係填鴨式
俾例如你會好d......例如教交通工具, 佢會初初叫家長假日陪小朋友去街留意下路面情況, 然後會講解各種交通工具, 有咩分別, 點好, 點唔好, 會叫小朋友畫畫, 設計一條馬路, 上面 ...

Hi Charlotte,

Always thanks for your information. But wanna ask how difficult is their Chinese level??

In order to get more  info about TL, I called the school today about their English / Mandarin teaching at school, they said:

1) They do teach English by their local class teacher.

2) Native English teacher comes 20mins per week.

3) Native Mandarin teacher comes also 20mins per week.

4) Teach phonics from K2 by local teachers.

Hope to share these info with all TL parents.

Dear esther.cy

I am facing the same dilemma as yours.

My girl is accepted by TL taihang and  I am attracted by its "one-dragon through train" system to primary school.

But personally i like activity-based education as I believe it inspires kids to have interest in learning.

Can you share what would be your final decision?

Hi que2132007,

Maybe there is some problems in my PM system and that's why can't send thro.

Actually I still have not made any decision yet since there are quite a lots of good things in both system.

However, my girl is those who like to explore and learn, since I believe TL is a more traditional school comparatively (though they claim they changed), thus I worry it will hinder her character development (I really believe the first 1-6 years are those years to develop your kids' character); however, as said, given that TL is an above-average (at least band 1 in secondary school) and is a "through-the-train" school, thus really need to re-consider.

Just a reminder that TL secondary is not guarantee but only about 50% can directly promote, pls note this point.
