我朋友個仔都係Vic(HMT)，今年有幾間名小(eg DBS)收佢，我估呢位小朋友如果入SC一樣係幾大名小爭住收，不同的地方係佢響Vic有好開心既生活

Thank you 2-lala and brrbaby2007 for your sharing.
My child is now studying in Victoria (HG) PN. As what I have heard from some of the moms (actually I know only I few of them), they would change to other KG. I suppose it is the same situation as in Vic (HMT)

In fact, my girl has a happy PN life in Victoria (HG). The teachers are very caring. The school is very proper in management and arranges a lot of activities involving parents (someone may think it is commercial, which  I enjoy these activities.). The reason I will change to Vic (HMT) from Vic (HG) cos' there is Eng/Mandarin class.  

Concerning SC, it is really reputated for so many years, even dated back when I was a child (30+ years ago). Generally, I think SC is a good school anyway. However, there are too many students and too many classes. (I think it is the reason some of them  enrolled in famous local primary school.)  The teacher: student ratio is high. There is no primary school.

In deciding whether to Vic or SC, I think only one thing is matter is whether you will let your child to International school, if yes, then you should choose Vic, otherwise SC.  I believe you can imagine how hard to pick up homework for local primary school if you haven't got through such training or environment to do homework.

I heard that SC's English is super good, basically it trains your child to have a skill to master English which for life-time but not just exposure.

One more thing, not matter which KG to go, your child is happy in anyway, don't worry about that.  Low teacher-student ratio is good to train up your child to be independent as well.

My son is also studying at the Victoria (HMT) but I also gave up the so called better offer - KV, to stay back at the Victoria's eng/man class.

i heard from a mom that quite a lot will go to others, mine is one of them.  Maybe our child not in the same class.

我係上pg時聽老師講話K1走既人比預期少所以開得少PN班咋

I don't realy know but personally I like the school and the teachers.  Any I prefer my kidwith strong language development rather than academic.

Dear brrbaby2007,
sorry that I cannot really get your meaning of "所以開得少PN班咋".

行健媽媽

Vict provides an environment where the kids can train in both 2 languages - Eng and Can, they are used to presenting in front of a few classmates regularly even they are in PN.  Besides that,  I can truly feel that the teachers are willing to consume time to prepare many activities, e.g. sports day, x'mas, new year and mother day, open day...... and they welcome the parents to be involved in those activities.

I admit that St Cat is a well-known kindergarten, but the kids who are studying in Vict can be trained up as a out-going and presentable.

我都係知d唔知d，好似話k1收突左人所以咪開唔到o甘多PN班

Dear granddelsol, I share the same opinion as yours.
Same as your case, I have given up KV also.
I also prefer my child to have a better environment for learning Eng and Man, in particularly in this golden period for language development. I admit that academic is also important but it can be boosted up later. Actually, I don't know whether it is correct that the English teaching should be stronger (I mean listening and speaking, not just writing) in Vic than SC (just my impression.) SC only has NET sharing between classes. Vic has NET as class teacher.
Is your child studying in Vic HMT PN ? Are the teachers good?
