Stafford

HK$ 1,800 ..same charge as St. Nicholas.
Maybe, other kinders charge less for snack.

For York : The snack fee is even HK$ 1,900 / term.... it is rather expensive.

Snack fee : $ 1,800 / term?  is it a normal price?

To Kwans : haha ... u've got a good memory wor... which int'l kinder are u looking for ?

KBCK's pm class will start at 12:30 pm... that will be too rush. If KBCK's class is a.m., then I just afraid the gal will get tired and cannot learn well in another kinder.

Further, my gal is small B (nov 08) and does not eat well... she is still eating her own food... I have to bring her rice / congee together (soup is a MUST for lunch & dinner). It is not possible for her to have quick lunch.

If your kid can finish lunch within 15 mins... and then 15 mins travelling near those 2 kinders and changing clothes...then u may consider studying 2 kinder...

Firstly, I planned for KBCK is its good environment for training up Eng oral. But now, my gal can only speak Eng rather than Cantonese... so I'd better train her Cantonese instead... I will target for traditional primary but not int'l primary.

How's your situation ? Possible to study at two kinders ? Pls share.

Kwans: Hi, 我都係PM offer. 呢間都係我想入的KG. 我寫左信比陳主任, 希望可以轉上午班. 我都覺得自己誇張, 取錄信都未收到就寫信去煩人地, 希望陳主任唔會介意啦!
Nice to meet you all here!

唔知寫信去轉上午班, 幾會大唔大呢?

Another point : If the kid really studies at Stafford, she may need to attend Cambridge class in K2.
Further, K2 kids are most likely joining all sorts of additional classes for certificate so as to fighting for primary seats. So it may only be workable to study at 2 kinders at the same time in K1 only.

Anyway, I may still try to attend interview at KBCK in Jan / Feb 2011 (but I've submitted the application in Dec 2000 for p.m. class (2011/12)).

Hey, how about your kid ? Can he / she communicate well in Eng ? The interview at KBCB is purely in Eng and the principal expects kids can really understand Eng..........

Honestly speaking, at beginning, why did i start up Eng with my gal.... ? The reason is for KBCK.....haha :)

我都未考慮清楚k1會唔會讀2間, 係因為好多人同我講k1仲要nap, 我個都係細B, OCT08 我都覺得寧願佢 K1時瞓多D, 或會安排TUE, THUR 去ENG PG, 如果好彩kbck 收am, 我都會比佢試讀2間, 因為kbck都幾多人報。

現時諗法 ...

To Kwans :

Further ...

You get Stafford p.m. offer.... then did u apply for KBCB a.m. ? The timing may be fine for u :
KBCB - 9:00 to 12:00
Stafford - 13:40 to 16:40
However, the kid will really be tired. BTW, where do u leave ah ?
我曾諗過如中間有1hr40mins.... 放學 , 吃飯 (要吃得叻叻), 午睡 , 換衫也可勉強應付 , 如你自己揸車 , 就更好.
但下午返stafford, 真恐very sleepy不能集中學習

But for me, I applied stafford for a.m. ....  last year, i submitted the application to KBCB for p.m...... so I really have the timing problem.
但又諗K2開始要集訓 , 也好難讀兩間kinder :(

charlotte2008

其实幾時入form都得 , 早D入應有些优先 , 但有朋友上年11月才報 , 都收咗 , 正讀K1 & also 另一kinder , 所以 , 唔駛驚. 但聽講大部分Chinese小朋友起初都選擇唔講嘢 , 可能講唔到 , 又或唔慣全英環境 , 但而家的情況, 我就唔知道.

最緊要你阿B聽得明英文 , 唔識講但做到指令也可以 , 校長當然會問埋及了解家庭狀況及家長嘅expectation.

How's yr situation ?
For me, I am just worrying about the timing problem and if the kid can really fine with studying two kinders at the same time. If she really takes KBCB, then Stafford must be changed to p.m.

我想問Stafford 同金巴倫有咩分別，揀邊間好？

Monchhichi926

原來如此. 我阿仔讀緊boxhill am, 佢返學之後, 明顯鍾意講英文多過中文, 但唸住比佢讀傳統小學, 所以要同佢轉校. 其實stafford 收左佢我已經好開心, 不過如果佢返am, 我就容易d幫佢安排下午的playgroup/ 興趣班.

乜am得咁少位?我唸住佢應該am多位d添.

MS Ng, 都有講過話可以寫信APPLY AM, 不過唔會啦:

1.  K3 時全部都係PM(就等小朋友早習慣啦)
2.  我仍考慮緊K2 時比小朋友讀2間KG,  所以留返AM 比佢之後讀INT'L KG OR ENGLISH PG


聽聞AM 1班, PM 2班, 約2X人一 ...

唔知呀, 不過試下無壞啫.

charlotte2008

After interview, I called to Stafford for how many seats are available for 2011/12. The staff told me 50-55 seats for both am and pm...... So in total, I think the seats may be around 100-110 seats (i.e. 4 classes).

Anyway, I believe the earlier you request for changing from pm to am.... the chance will be bigger as someone may give up the am offer if they have better choices.

ms1125

係唔係仲未有人收到信呀?

charlotte2008

Not yet received the offer letter...... I think it may be arriving at this afternoon or next Monday

anteater

收到信,竟然有得讀AM!當日表現不是太突出,不過係外籍男老師IN,唔知係唔係會鬆手D,17號就要交留位費,好快要決定讀唔讀

Can u tell sth about 多元智能班 ? How's it ? is it just a one-hour Cambridge or other interest class ? I dun have much idea...but it is not a MUST to join, right ? at the moment, I only prefer the Cambridge Eng Class...

BTW, I agree to yr hubby..... 我都係見步行步 ..... maybe, few mths later, our kids dun need much nap time ... anyway, let wait for if we get some more offer first... as KBCB's interview will be in Jan / Feb.... most kinders in Kln Tong will hv released the offer.
