NIS interview

crystalpui

hi

how about if my girl doesn't good in English?
Will they also consider?
Since she is studing in a local school N now
she's getting less than less to speak English....
But I think she can understand

MKS

Clairecarmen, are you going to take the offer... My younger son also got K1 am offer...  The result of my elder son (k3) not yet released...  i m still thinking whether i should take the offer...  the teachers are very caring, but we cannot expect they have high academic result.   And they dont have secondary school...

really want to have comment from existing NIS parents!

We got a pm offer yesterday, so happy! Anyone here will go to NIS K1 pm class next year?

clairecarmen

i will take the offer  since it is one of my favourite school ( the other one is HLY)

My daughter is a sensitive girl ( a typical Pisces!) ... a small school & caring teachers is just what she needs, i believe...
regarding the academic level, as long as it is not below average, it's okay for me, i just want her to enjoy her school life! May be i hv a miserable school life in a famous primary school that make me unhappy for 6 years!

MKS

clairecarmen,

it is good that you know what your girl needs...

i know few parents whose kids are studying in famous local primary. She told me some of her daughter classmates go to 橾卷班 on Sat for 7 hours (only p1 student)... i think it's crazy...

Hi MKS & Donna,

I just received the email from NIS today, but the attached letter says that it is not guarantee for the kids to get a placement in NIS primary school, what do u think?

MKS

Clairecarmen,

I did ask this question on the day of interview... The primary assessor will come to kindergarten to have a look of the students, but Lisa said 99% will go to NIS Primary.. so i dont think it is a issue if your target is NIS primary!  

Really want to have some comment from exisiting NIS parents about this school!

Donna

I prefer morning class but the staff said no chance to change morning class.  Is it true?

Hi, my child attended the K3 interview this year, the format is very fair and comfortable.  My child only went there to have a 2 hour class with their existing classmates, then parents go back to pick her up.  My child said it was fun and refused to leave after the interview. Hence we stayed to play in the playground for 1 more hour.  Hope it helps!

bleushow,

Does you son get an offer from NIS??

bleushow

MKS,

Yes, my child got it

MKS

Bleushow,

oh..i still do not know the result for my elder son... may be they don't take him... My son was not willing to go to the classroom, the teacher played with him outside the classroom for 0.5 hours...my son went to the classroom finally.. but he was not willing to go in again after the break!

are you going to take the offer??

bleushow

MKS, hope that you shall get the good news from NIS soon.  Yes, we shall take the offer.

MKS

Bleushow, Thank you. I hope so...

MKS

NIS gives offer to my elder son!! so happy!!

MKS
Congratulations!!  Is NIS your top target?

MKS

Bleushow,

I like the NIS learning atmosphere, less pressure and teachers are nice and caring. But they dont have Secondary school.... and i m worried about their academic level.

I have also applied ESF, RC and ICS.  I know the chance of getting into these school is slim. but i will try.

I will pay the deposit first.  

how about you?? IS NIS your top target??

Lukbuk

And, are their school bus service only to Tai Po and Shatin? do you know where is the bus stop in Shatin?
many thanks

Hi MKS

I also love the homy school and small class set up of NIS.  Yet, it is also not my top of the list due to the lack of secondary section.

At least, we have a school we like on hand.  Good luck to the school search!
