蘇浙 vs 玫瑰崗， 邊間好？

catiou627

如果想學普通話, 咁就係蘇浙, 我個女讀左一個學期K1.佢由一D都唔識兼唔鐘意, 變到主動同我地講普通話, D音仲好標準, 基本溝通都OK,  學得好快.

Thanks. Then, I think KCS/KCIS fit my requirements

By the way, apart from KCS, are there any other pure Mandarin/English (non-Cantonese) kindergartens which are eligible for the educational coupon scheme?

請不要聽一些一知半解的傳言。別以為在班房外上堂很慘！我之前睇喎佢哋上堂(有觀課日)，佢哋會有小組活動，會分開三組。一組在課室內做一些以英語作對答的遊戲(家長訂閱National Geographic Kids給小朋友於小組遊戲時玩樂)，另外一組會在走廊黏貼交通工具於牆壁上作學習，小朋友既可走動，又覺得有新鮮感。最後一組則聽從英文老師說出顏色後，小朋友要以腳站在該顏色部份的地墊上(地墊上有不同顏色的圓圈)。每一組的小朋友都因投入學習而發出一定聲音和滋擾，不可能每小組在個別班房進行，再者，學習不一定要待在班房，什麼是活動教學？難道一間班房可以把所有教材放在裡面嗎？之前我都睇到話要在課室外上堂有點奇怪，但看見以後，我覺得這安排絶對冇問題。他們每組完成後又可迅速到另一組玩樂，若果分開不同班房便不方便。另外我還看見一些高年班的同學更會在班房外以掛畫框表着膠片讓同學們畫畫，難道又因為唔夠班房而要在外畫嗎？

Thanks for your info. Are the Mandarin and English classes taught by native speakers?

係呀，我囝囝衣家返緊學前PG都係分組。我見到好多車車照片貼係走廊牆上面，我囝囝好開心指住呀。我唔相信學校因唔夠班房而係走廊上堂囉，RHS校園及班房都好大。

Is the "1日蒙特梭利教學" taught in Cantonese? Thanks

I'm not sure about the Mandarin and Montessori class as I attend the English day, the host english teacher is foreigner and native speaker.  But during the game day, I saw my girl went to her mandarin teacher who is also native speaker.

Thanks again. It looks like 玫瑰崗 has a good language environment. Unfortunately, we missed the opportunity to apply for the school. I know some expatriates (ie foreigners) put their kids in 玫瑰崗 .

玫記真係好到不得了，至少課室大過蘇淅，見完蘇淅嘅課室，咁細要入咁多小朋友，真係怕怕。而且玫記功課，我仔K2已寫句子，填充。訓練小朋友上小學識應力強，怕有D小朋友追唔上，如果你係hea嘅父母唔好揀玫記！因為你夜晚要返屋企溫書，但小朋友極like學校。再者有宗教，價值觀都會好D。我哋呢D玫記媽媽極love學校！

Yes, KCS program is less rigorous than other elite kindergartens' . I heard there are cases where KCS kindergarten graduates find hard to adapt in local primary schools. I heard KCS has deliberately lowered the standard. I thought it was due to the fact that it need to comply with the government standard in order to become eligible for the educational coupon scheme.

Rosaryhill 唔係都有學卷？ 科程深度點會同KCS差好遠

According to a K3 parent, KCS program was much more rigorous in the past.

看來分組上課很有趣。不過我不是道聽途說，是在玫記工作的朋友告訴我的，可能她不是幼師所以也只憑肉眼見推想。其實最重要是你認同學校，小朋友喜歡就很夠了。我也有報玫瑰崗，十分欣賞他們的語言教學，更喜歡他們入班房要換鞋的做法，但只是waiting。

Yes, I believed RHS teachers and principal spent a lot of time on program plan.

有學卷跟課程深淺是兩回事呀。

Montessori is taught in English by qualified Montessori teacher.

I think both are good voucher schools - really hard to choose. Given the quality, cost, and P1 places are more or less the same, maybe you can consider other practical stuff, like distance. Read from other posts and know that your kid is studying PN in KCS - how do you feel about KCS so far? If your kid loves the school, you may also take into account this factor.
We got waiting from RHS so no need to choose and will stay in KCS for K. I am pretty satisfied but do admit that the campus and size of classes etc. at KCS are less than ideal.

my case is a bit complicated.

My elder girl studies in K2 in KCS. Both sisters can go to school together and I am surely very happy to the school even sometimes I think the environment is a bit crowded and not much place for them to play.

However, my youngest son can't get offer from KCS and only gets offer in RHS with my younger girl. So, if my younger girl picks RHS, she can go with her brother.

Distance is my consideration as well.  RHS is too far far away from ours la!!!

Thinking the good environment of RHS...... a bit struggle, but actually I love my kids learning PTH (I was working in Shanghai and do love my kids can communicate with my friends there), that's why I moved them from Vic to KCS.

Littleho

Is PM an issue for you ? I prefer AM because kids can take nap and do other things in the afternoon . By the way , I receive a waiting list letter from KCS .

KCS 有冇分組上課?
Same as 樓主, I got both offer and has attended the RHS playgroup.  My son loves RHS....especially Mr Paul....as he used to study at international kinder, thus, he loves all the native english teacher.
I am still struggling.....as my son is very active (his character and used to study at international school), I wonder if he can adopt KCS......correct me if I am wrong, I think KC is more 嚴.....He also likes Eng so much.

玫記功課K2已寫句子，填充 which I like it so much....it makes them more easier to adopt to primary school life.  How about KCS?  
Can RHS pupil able to speak simple PTH?  

Shall I pick RHS?
