monkeymei,
You are not the only one who start to search information about primary school when your child is still a baby. I also started to read + ask about CKY, VP, PKC, HKUGA.... 1 yr. ago, and my girl is now 21 months old. CKY is my 1 st choice!

THANKS for all parents. You really help me to know more about CKY.

Hi  Clementmummy,
     I bought a SPI school bag for my son. The colour is a bit different from the one I saw in CKY. However, the teacher told me that they accepted the kid using a school bag  which is not pure blue.
The big cartoon characters are not the good choice.

Hi monkeymei,

You did make me smile for a little while. I didn't laugh, don't worry.     

monkeymei & hoeve,

I am sure the two of you are perfect mothers. I didn't pay attention to primary schools until my girl has entered kindergarten.      

However, I'll go thr. the whole process again, I have a seven months old son coming...

Thank you for your information. Is that you mean beside SPI, I have to buy it from school. Are there any choices.

curry123

I think that you can buy any other brand name. But the school bag should be blue and avoid  any pattern on it. As I told you before, a small cartoon is acceptable. I get these information from CKY.
Hope this can help.

Dear monkeymei,

Of course I totally agree your point to equip the kid with the necessary attributes. What I refer to is some parent already preset the final status of the child such as they need to be a doctor, lawyer etc as read from their expression. I admit we all have certain amount of value set because we learned from our experience BUT it is passed and it is in the past. Discipline problem is an issue and depends on our cultural change, what I expect and implement is there should be a bottom line not from the school but we as the parent.

I feel bad mood now since I just notice today is the announcement of F7 result. Although it's none of my business but when I think of how the existing education system kills the creativity of teenager, I feel bad. The situation will not rectify and even more enhance since the decrease of student will have the impact on existing secondary schools and they will just react (life or death problem) to put more exams, tests, assessment in order to boost up the result of student. The case is not just exists on brand 1 schools but all of it. Imagine if you were the student, how will you have the interest to study just for the result. The survivors are just machines and materialistic, the losers(from all grades) will label themselves as #### and how can you expect them to behave rationally when they start work. It soon will become a social problem. I will not blame schools as they are just a factory now and who talk about education believes is outfashion and cannot attract parent's attention.

Look back to the gov. policy, they start to attract elite student(pressure from local U)/professional to Hong Kong, on the table they say it just the world trend and I am sure they did know the underlying problem and why to do so. It's just too political to change the existing pri. and sec. education system.

In all, it's the gov. policy and parent who make the situation become as such and as individual, we can't change anything but place our next generation in a better(may be) environment not because of let them escape from pressure but a meaning study even though it may drawn most of my resources(putting 2 kids in CKY is not kidding) and seriously affect my living standard.

Dear Curry123,

If school bag with pattern is not recommended, does it mean that 'Seven' should not be considered?  Do you know any parents are requested to buy new school bags if the school bags have pattern.

Hi Kyliema2006,
   I don't understand what does 'Seven' mean ?
   Last week, I went to the P.1 parents' meetiing.
   I saw a sample schoolbag on the display desk and
   I asked the senior teacher  if  it was necessary to
   buy that one.   She told me that they accepted
   all schoolbags in blue . However, those with big
   cartoons like ' Thomas' ' 'Hello Kitty' should be
   avoided.     

kyliema2006

Dear Curry123,

'Seven' is the branding of school bag, it looks  good and is blue color, but have some pattern over it.  I also ask CKY administration office, they told me that it's better in entire blue, so that I'm afraid that the school will ask me to buy a new school bag.

Besides of school fee, parents have to pay a lot on books.  As you know, students who study IB are requested to write assignments, and need to do a lot of research.  Some parents on BK complained that they have to buy a lot of reference books that is requested by their sons.  It's really a burden to me, especially I got two children.  Anyway, an investment on academy!

Hi, kyliema2006 and father_ho,

kindly help on some reference, do you think CKY has preference on which kind of kindergarten graduates for their students' enrollment?

thanks.

Dear monkeymei,

As I am not the "inside horse" of the school, I never know exactly. What I feel is in the past they didn't set any perference on kindergarten, now since there's far more applicants, they adopt marks scoring in the first round that may have difference. I think as long as your child study in activity teaching approach with bilingual environment, it's enough. They know which school adopting which method.

Hope it helps,

kyliema2006

My son will enrol CKY this September, after the process of interviews, I've a gut feeling that CKY will not choose kindergartens, but on parents and children.  They are concerned on how much time do the children and parents spend on reading, because CKY is emphasis on 'learn to read, and read to learn'.  The children are assessed through an array of games, and the parents will be asked the daily habbits of their sons.  Take my son as an example, he likes reading, and quite smart (to my standard), but not out-spoken.  Under the current rules of games of direct subsidized schools, he does not not have any advantages.  However, CKY will take a wider perspectives on the evaluation of the children, besides of his knowledge, intelligent as well as his habbits, and the devotion of their parents.

So, it is not the matter of which school he/she studies, but the personality of your son/daughter and your devotion to them.

Hi, kyliema2006 and father_ho,

thanks so much for your ideas and advises. PERFECT, I planned to put my girl to billingual kindergartens with activity-based approach.  And, also, I'll spend more time on reading with her.  This is not only because of CKY, this is inspired by one of my friends whom I met last night.  He already immigrated to Canada and just came back for a biz trip, his boy is 14 yrs old and just graduated from Grade 8 in Canada with several academic awards.  As I heard from my friend, he also acquirs good softskills like inter-personal skills and definitely being initiate and passionate to those tasks he commited.

My friends shared the possible reasons might be due to his wife spent a lot of time on reading and chatting with his son since his childhood, this inspired him a lot and made this boy aquired those softskills.  A good inspiration to me also, but unfortunately I'm a working mum but his wife was no need to work since gave birth la,...anyway, I'll try my best and in fact, I enjoyed in playing with my baby.

Such a long sharing again.

chat to you all later, take care.

My son was from Kentville, therefore I don't think CKY is choosing child by active school for their preference.

My son's report card in K2 was not PREFECT, mostly B. But I showed the school a lot of activities certificate (Which mean I let my son to attend a lot of different activities). I think that's the reason I can have the second interview.

In the second interview. You need to show to the Headmaster that your child LOVE TO READ and can tell the Headmaster a story that he or she love the most.

It was my own opinion. Hope it might help.
