St. Cat, 簡直不知所謂!

Hi, Today,

All I understood!!!
Do u have any friend's child studying in SC?  
Are they a rich family?
I think that SC will consider the child's parents rich or not.  Right?

上年小兒也是去 st,cat interview ，感覺一樣激氣！！
老師沒愛心，而主任也是 e.g.我當時問了句 國語一星期有多少？他便回答  我們是 st.cat 國際英文幼稚園而不是國語幼稚園你沒了解嗎！我當時立即想出去！激死？ :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

點解為人師表可以差成咁,好冇修養bor!

其實我個女依家讀間 playgroup d 老師好好, 就係衰在唔出名 law.  現實歸現實, 如果第二時須要自行考小學, 始終 from 名牌幼稚園係好d o既
本來o係 Kentville & St. Cat 之間, 我係心怡 St. Cat o既, 因為佢 standard 高 & 活動教學, much suitable to my 好動的囡囡, 但係睇完你地講, 又覺得教幼稚園咁冇愛心, 入倒都未必好.  衰又衰在我個女 11:30 見 Kenville 表現唔好, maybe fail la,  但 12:30 St. Cat 又神勇非常喎.
不過遲d睇o下收唔收先算啦, if 兩間都收, now 我又 prefer Kenville la, St Cat. 對住d咁可愛o既小朋友都面黑, 真係唔佩做教師喎

SandyHung,
I don't think so.  Rich families prefer Yew Chung, Kingston, internation school. Of course some are rich but most of them just middle class.

In my opinion, almost all kindergarten in Kowloon Tong is profit making.  Famous or not famous.  Previously or nowadays.  All concern >>> money.  That's true.

One of my Australian friends was an English teacher of St. Cat. What she told me that St was a good school till 1996/1997.  After 1997, the kindergarten became very money minded.

In K1, there are 2 class teachers, one is local Chinese teacher and the other one is native English teacher, As there are quite a number of kids cannot really understand English, so the main language media was Cantonese, anyway, some children pick up English eventually.

In K2 & K3, there will be one native English shared by couple classes, and the teacher only spends 35min per class per day, and they do singing and simple conversation, as most kids can really sing English song, so that why parents think St Cat's English standard is good.

But if you double-checked with St Cat's students most of them also attending extra-corniculum English activities, such as Phonics, grammar and conversation in order to keep their English standard.

So if you send your child to a good kindergarten and spend the same amount of money on your children’s English activities, and their English standard is comparative to St. Catherine.

So it is just your choice.

Thank you very much for your information.  Is you son very smart ?  I guess if children are smart, they could handle but do you know anyone in Kentville or in general find it difficult??

yi

mamami,
May I ask which school is yr daughter studying now?

Mrs.Fong

godzillap,
你問我個囝囝係唔係smart, 我就梗係覺得佢smart 啦      (just kidding!)唔....但, 我真係覺得一般小朋友係你比咩野佢, 佢就會接收果d野架噃....好似我姐姐個仔, 佢k1時讀另一間程度較低的幼稚園, 後來在k2轉入kentville, 佢又好快適應. 佢在家中好反斗的, 但據知佢在學校又幾乖架....所以我覺得環境對一個小朋友有好大的影響的.

另有媽媽說好多學校都為左賺錢, 我都知有d學校真係有這情況...kentville比較起來, 我覺得較老實, 學費2000多元(實數唔記得), 10個月學費, 無雜費....但係, 佢又真係無課外活動提供, 小朋友要學,就要向外求.

唉！真喺身同感受！   :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

May I know what is the chinese name of St. Cat. ?

睇左好多家長們既發表, 容許我呢個過人搭下咀.
我唔係SC學生既家長, 當年我亦無俾囝囝考SC, 主因係我覺得佢'貴', 我計過啦! 如果同我囝囝而家讀果間compare, 只係學費就多成$1,xxx@月, 我覺得拿呢個差額去俾佢讀phonic or其他英文課程, 效果可能重好, 而呢樣我已證實係work既.
話說回來, 同仔女揀kinder最緊要問自己將來想佢讀邊o的小學, 如果都係活動教學型式的就配活動教學型kinder, 如果想佢入傳統學校(名校?), 那就算in你小朋友個老師再衰o的都要諗下啦! 唔係個個老師都一樣既! 實際上大部份HK小學都係傳統教學.
相信揀得SC & KENTVILLE既媽咪都係想仔女做叻仔叻女, 想佢入名校, 學識多過人o地果o的, 我都buy架, 而且課程深o的絕對唔代表佢會讀得辛苦同唔開心, 個人覺得校園大細對小朋友都唔大重要, 好多小朋友既開心係來自別人對他的稱讚, 而唔係一日玩到黑的kinder生活.
近呢幾個月忙著同囝囝考學校, 面試, 筆試樣樣齊, 我既心得係 - 好彩囝囝讀既係平日有training既學校, 否則呢關都好難過.
我到過DBSPD既seminar, 校長被問到1st interview如何評分, 她說50%是interview的表現, 20%是曾參與過那些課外活動及有拿過獎既會多o的分, 另外20%就是在kinder的成績, 她說:當然亦會跟根據那一間kinder啦, 有o的深o的既kinder而成績又好既就多o的分啦. 另10%就是同宗教. 可想而知有o的kinder確實在有些名校心中有地位.
昨日我同囝囝去某校register05小一, 排隊時前面有個家長帶左個著住SC校服既小朋友, 當時有個負責校車服務既嬸嬸同個小朋友傾計, 好大聲話:你讀SC呀, 一定係叻仔啦. 小朋友個媽咪就話唔係一定架, 嬸嬸就話:我地全校都知來自SC同根德果o的都係叻仔啦, 唔會讀唔上既!
就以上所看, 各位重會唔會覺得'個老師好面黑', '個校舍好細, 好舊', '無課外活動'.......係o甘重要? 要揀小一時條路易行o的係好重要架, 除非你已有起碼25分在手啦! 基本上只係呢2間kinder就共有過千學生, 只係要'砌'低呢班都唔易架.
自己諗下啦!

Hi

May I know what is the chinese name of St. Cat. ?

Twinstar

中文名:國際英文幼稚園
無可否認, 小朋友在此校讀書, 大部份都很開心, 喜歡上學, 喜歡看書.
至於投考小學時是否有優勢嘛? 或者吧, 事關各校的面試結果仍未全部公佈完畢, 所以暫時未能有第一手資料提供.

Bambi

小兒讀緊Kentville K3, 好好彩派到La Salle, 有個今年剛讀LS P1既家長話我知, 返左學2個多月, 成績最好果幾個都係SC同KENTVILLE既學生, 但我唔知佢點知, 不過學校就一定知, 因我地register時學校會叫我地填寫囝囝讀邊間kinder. 但朋友話基本上英文還算ok唔太深, 要識多o的中文字返而重要o的.

Lam&HimM 寫道:
請問 bambi,
你的小朋友讀那一間kinder 呢？及入咗那間小學呢？

actually, 我個姪子佢讀sc 及現在讀la salle 小學
佢無讀其他phonics 課程，佢媽咪話if　not sc 的學生，比較難適應la salle 的英文課程，p1時會比較辛苦。(ps: 佢英文全form 第一或第二)
以上only 是個人意見。

K1要3千幾，K2 & K3 再貴幾舊，貴一般kinder千幾每月，買一個入名小學的夢，值吾值見人見智，但係咪讀SC入名小學幾會大D呢，佢每年人數眾多，入名小學比例一定看似比其他kinder多架！聽講La Salle都好like St Teresa學生格，STS夠深丫麻，但數人頭可能一年SC有10個，STS有3個咁law，傳下傳下讀SC好似易入D咁。STS每月1千2百幾渣wor。

我3個仔女都o係SC讀, 大o個兩個已畢業,(大女現就讀德望P3, 二仔現就讀DBS P1) 細女仲讀緊upper class, 我真係吾多覺D老師無禮貌, 無愛心, 其實SC o既老師真係好nice, 好愛錫小朋友 ka, 我D仔女同埋D classmates 都好鐘意D老師, 老實講, D老師衰吾衰, 錫吾錫小朋友, 好容易知道, 就係問o下你地D仔女, 如果個老師真係o甘差, 小朋友一定吾鍾意佢地。

係law! 咪重抵law.
