1. GT secondary school is using English as medium of instruction, so I thought GT is using English mainly in primary school too. And GT emphasizes their English standard is very high in the primary school briefing session. I know it is better to study at international school but it is expensive and no putonghua.

CH : I think GT school has good standard of english teaching in my view. This year, all english lessons in P2 are teached by native english speaking teachers. I think they are doing some kind of experiement in P2 this year. Good or bad ? The Western teachers are more concern on oral rather than grammer and dictation.  Anyway, it helps to improve my son's listening and oral skill this year.

2. Reading lesson, reading competition and reading week are provided in most school. Does GT has anything special to make kids love reading? I know parents' behavior is important but school and parents need to work together to get better results.

CH: I agree with you but I don't see other approach from the school to attract my son to have more reading. He cannot have reading more than an hour continuously.  I think it is because TV programme is more attractive than novel. But I do see a lot of my son's classmate love reading very much but just not to my son.

Hi Gitmee
很多謝您的資料, 亦令我稍為放心.  
我打算在小兒開學第一個星期向公司請假, 以便陪小兒一同上學和接他放學 (雖然我打算讓他乘校巴), 順便認識一下學校和家長, 您認為是否有此需要呢?
謝謝.

I completely agree with you if you can take your son to school in the morning and pick him back after school. He will be very happy.  My son takes school bus everyday. If we come to school in the morning with him, he is so excited.  Also, you can know the school situation and chat with other parents. Once a week is good.

Hi Farm,

在優才，家長能夠送小朋友返學和放學，是一件賞心樂事，因為家長是可以聽早會的，屆時你便可以看見你小朋友排隊的情況，也聽到校長和老師早上跟同學們說些什麼，感受一下他們的氣氛；放學時則可以與其他家長寒喧，很開心呢！

Here are few major reasons to support us to choose GT school.

1) Small class size approach. Teachers can spend more effort on each individual student.
(If I speak to teacher about my son, I would expect them to tell me about my son's situation)

2) The school enourage student more participate in the class (active learning) but still in cetrain amount of traditonal curriculum. ( I want my son be more agressive )

3) More english and mandarin teachers.
(More opportunity to speak to western and don't afraid to talk to them. We can't speak fluent in their language but we are brave enough to talk to them)

Hi Gitmee
請問GT的返學和放學時間是幾點? 我真的很想帶他返學, 聽聽早會, 一星期一次都好呀, 以前在BK聽過其他GT家長分享過. 我相信對學校了解多D, 我更容易和個仔快D融入這個大家庭, 真的很興奮, 很期待呢.  唔知我老板肯唔肯Flexible hour, 收少D人工我都肯的.

Farm,

早會時間約8:20-8:35，放學一、三、五3:20，二、四 3:30（因為那天有才華班）。返半天的日子，通常12:00放學。不用擔心，八月尾的orientation會有詳情公布。

開學後多點參加家長活動吧，好快會融入到啦！歡迎你加入GT大家庭呀！

I received notice to visit their Mongkok campus on May 27.  I am not sure whether it will be an orientation.

Is your son/daughter accepted P1 (Mongkok Campus) in Sep 2006?

hcma05

是呀! 你呢?

不過我還不能決定選優才還是宣小.
