Hi Ian,
TT收左囡囡am class, 你覺得我應唔應該再報其他試下呢? 我一心係要一條龍, 囡囡讀得開心, 而TT係half dragon...
仲有interview既有
1. SPK
2. 宣道
3. 聖心
4. 協思
5. 禮言

thanks! ...

If you think TT's primary school fees are acceptable, then it is as good as one-dragon.  The key reason why it has low percentage of promotion to P1 is simply because many parents will opt out due to the school fees.  At the end, TT is the rare one which accepts voucher with reasonable language training.

For the other schools, please note Heep Yunn is not an one-dragon as their primary school is gov't aided.  Need to be competitive for the less than 10 knock-door seats.  Rhenish is also not one-dragon as I know, and similar situation with Alliance as they will need to be interviewed like the outsiders.

Just attend more interviews and understand your child more before you decide.  Good luck!

Ian

Hi Ian,

請比一些意見於幼稚園：聖保羅堂，北角衞理堂，蘇浙&聖瑪加利大。邊間好D，而聖保羅堂張會搬去北角和富，新校舍大過現有地方，但係無outdoor playground，會唔會影響孩子發展？好多朋友叫我選擇蘇浙或聖瑪加利大如果收咗佢的話！
Thanks!

I would have little knowledge on the kindergartens you have mentioned but if your daughter is studying in the current one which seems to be a small and caring nursery, I would think it is good for her to stay unless you have a better reason.

Are you hoping that being a student in PLK kindergartens may eventually help you to put your daughters into one of the PLK primary schools nearby?  If that's the case, my suggestion is you better try to collect more information from your neighbours and see if they actually got accepted from door-knocking stage.  Any other acceptance to these primary schools before this is irrelevant to where they study.

I don't think students from these kindergartens would be directly promoted to any primary schools.

I think all four are good kindergartens and it is totally up to what you expect from a kindergarten to be able to tell you which one is more suitable.

Hello Ian, I am a new mother so I would like to seek for your professional advice.  Your information is very usful and really appreciate !

My son is going to K1 next year, after the interview month, he is now having 3 kindergardens accepted: 1) Precious Blood, 2) Rosaryhill, 3) Good Health (my son is studing PN there but I decided not this one).

Precious Blood:
I like the environment and the teachers there, however, as per other mom's comments PB is a relatively happy school so my concern is will it be difficult to move to P1 local stream. Also, their Primary school is by lucky draw so I am not sure what is the benefit I can get especially mine is boy?

Rosaryhill:
The environment is good and big, they offer 2 days Eng, 2 days PTH and one day Montessori and seems their curriculum coverage is pretty attractive. Plus, i think it help kids to establish their languages skill when they are little. However, RHS kindergarten is good but their primary school is not that good as per other mom's comments (be honesty I don't understand why?), even though RHS is a private school and chance from K to P is high but I am not sure if I should target RHS primary for my son with negative comments.

I am sorry of my long questions but I really don't know how to pick and I feel so frustrated.....

Looking forward to your advice please...

Thank you.

Basically they are two different things:

If you consider PB kindergarten, then what you can hope for is they will at max reserve the few door knocking seats after central allocation for their own kindergarten.  Sorry I don't have the information on how much preference they would give their own kindergarten students.

On the other hand, for RHS, I think what usually is the issue would be their secondary school.  If you consider the language training is important, and six more years of private primary is worth the money, then certainly RHS is a good choice when you compare this angle with PB.

Thank you very much Ian for your advice.  

Do you know how good or wrost of RHS primary school is?  If their primary school is good or OK, I rather let him to study there and pay instead of letting him to change another one and go through all the interviews again in 3 years later :(

I will join RHS pre-playground before K1 start so I believe this is a good opportunity for me (one parent can accompany) to observe how's their teacher performance and see if my son enjoy the school time there.

Thank you for advice again !

Thank you very much Ian for your advice.  

Honestly I do not know how good or bad RHS's primary is.  Since if you don't consider their secondary, it is better that you look for another primary school at an earlier stage than at a later point of time.  Especially the secondary school allocation is based on the region of the primary school, so it means the allocation will be in Wan Chai District.  The issue behind is most good secondary schools would have their own feeder primary schools already, which means the seats left for outsiders are very limited.  So, it created a difficult situation.

Thank you very much Ian!

Hi Ian,

Read lot of your posts & do appreciate your efforts to put on EK. They are very helpful. I believe your family should feel proud of you.

Would like to get your opinion regarding the school my gal should go with.My gal got TT (Int'L) / TL (Tai Heng) PM currently. She will be a super big gal to repeat K1 on 2012-2013. I only targeted to the through-train & semi throug-train Kinder this year. The issue is I personally would like her to have the good teaching in English. We like TL but concern her English  teaching will be quite limited in kinder / Primary school & wonder if it's easy to connect with her secondary school which is in English basis or other school we may luckily be offered those also in English curriculum mainly. If we took TT (Int'L) our path will be her Int'L primary school but we just have the doubt what my gal should go for secondary school. We only plan to let her study overseas at the stage of University if She couldn't get the good offer from U in HK.

What is your opinion to our situation & TKS lot for your time

P.S. We wanted to apply SH & Manseng but she borns in Oct. that they can't accept for our application.

Hi ILOVEBEAN,

Thanks for the appreciation but I always feel I owe my family a lot on the contrary!

Anyway, concerning your question between TT and TL, the two are very different in many perspectives.

For the two, I would vote for TL for sure based on your "requirement".  I would never worry about the English level of a school in band 1 level, issues with transitions to secondary using English as medium of instruction should not be a common for these cases.  If you put her in TT(Int'l), I would have the same doubt that you have.  It will not be a local curriculum and it will be even harder for her to return to mainstream secondary school.

Hope this help you.

Ian

We understood what you said & believe to go with TL is the best approach at present.

Thank you! I copied from the CHSC website in the past, but I notice the below from True Light (Caine Road)'s website.  Which one you know is more updated?

我覺得網頁顯示的數字不正確, 我阿女現就讀k2全日班, 係有一個人名表的, 全日班(16人)係同上午班其中一班(14人) 一齊上課的, 兩班分三組每組十人加埋共有三十人, 因師生比例上限為 1:15, 兩班30人似乎是合理的數字, 而上午另一班係獨自上課的, 按師生比例上限 1:15計 理應只得15人, 若如網頁顯示的數字上午班有44人的話扣除和全日班一同上課的14人, 餘下便有30人, 咁點計都係兩班而唔係一班, 因上午只得兩班而不是三班, 而下午班只得一班15人..
在下面網頁顯示的人數似乎與我說的差不多, 是在2010年9月更新的, 因開學後班內的學生或許會有調動的...
