York Interview

maggiemai77

hi Minicooper, thanks for your very helpful information. i also sent you a PM but i am afraid you might not check it... so i want to ask here again.. hope you dont mind..... do you know what exactly they teach or kids do in school for PN?? if good Health is good, why you still want to give up Good Helth for York?? you still believe york is better?

校長應該係話佢會安排一啲叻啲嘅bb(大槪係年頭出世嘅bb）入一個叫做head start programme嘅班，作重點培訓，所以2月份會有一啲位空出黎收插班。

個日10號去聽簡介會, 校長好似話, 2013 /2月會加班, 因PN 位已經差不多收滿了，尚餘很少量

想問，過去９月簡介會，有否家長去聽過，是否有提及2月加開pn之類 ? ...

Today, I have the interview at York finally!  The arrangement is quite good since there is no need to queue!  And I see not many candidates wor!  Just wonder how many group of interview they have every day and how many days they will hold the interview!
BTW, there is a group sing & play before the formal interview.  Is it counted towards the mark?  I didn't see any teachers giving marks!

唱遊時間係唔計分,係俾D小朋友warm up下,唔駛擔心^^

It's just like a playgroup time!  Then the $30 application fee is worthwhile!
BTW, the interview teacher told me that the school was quite pushy!
And anyone of you heard about their school fee?  My friend told me that K1 class incl. afternoon time activities would be around $10,000~

the additional activities held in afternoon is optional; but I was told that the mandatory school fee + misc. fee > over $7K lar .... so expensive ....

我個fd個女數年前York主流班畢業，全班考第一，但派位唔好，因無背景所以考唔到好小學。輾轉3間不同小學，最後而家小四入聖心。

呀！全班第一咁叻都叩不到門入名小學。原來小一叩門這麼難的。心裏一寒。

我都感到好寒啊！都唔知咩叫良好背景，點先可以叩門成功。

小學話因為冇良好背景, 所以唔收?

Maggiemei77, do the question is"Can any York mammy share the feeling of expensive fee?"

Yes, I think the fee is quite expensive.  但希望一分錢一分貸，小囡英語能力高。不過york收小女先算。

MY GAL IS CURRENTLY IN K1 (YORK CALLED N1) IN YORK INTERNATIONAL. THE SCHOOL FEE IS HK$4,200.00 PER MONTH.
I BELIEVE THE LOCAL STREAM IS HK$3,600.00 PER MONTH.

WE NEED TO PAY THE SCHOOL BUS ADDITIONALLY AROUND HK$855.00 PER MONTH FROM EAST KOWLOON TO KOWLOON TONG & THE SNACK IS HK$300.00 PER MONTH (YOU CAN BRING FOOD / DRINK ON YOUR OWN IF YOU DON'T ORER THE SNACK FROM SCHOOL).

THE MISCELLANEOUS FEE IS APROX. HK$1,700.00 OR SOMETHING FOR THE 1st TERM & IT'S LESSER ON THE 2nd TERM TOTALLY AROUND HK$3,400.00 FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.

THE COST OF SCHOOL BAG / SNACK BAG / UNIFORMS ARE EXCLUSIVE BUT I THINK IS O.K. & QUALITY IS PRETTY NICE OTHER THAN THE CARDIGAN.

NO EXTRA FEE I NEED TO PAY SO FAR COS WE DO NOT JOIN THE ECA EXCEPT THE DONATION TO CHARITY (ONE TIME ONLY SO FAR BUT IT'S NOT COMPLUSORY) SO....IT'S ABOUT HK$6,000.00 ALL-INCLUDE PER MONTH FOR INTERNATIONAL STREAM.

BUT I THINK THE ENTIRE FEE WE PAID IS COMPETITIVE FROM WHAT MY GAL GETS FROM THE TEACHING SO FAR. MY GAL LIKES THE SCHOOL / HER TEACHERS MUCH & ENJOYS THE TEACHING. SHE ALWAYS SINGS LOT OF DIFFERENT ENGLISH / CHINESE SONGS LEARNT FROM SCHOOL, THAT WE DO NOT EXPECT ACTUALLY.
SHE ALSO CAN HANDLE / ANSWER MOST OF THE HOMEWORKS THAT WE HAVE NEARLY EVERYDAY.

THE CURRICULUM IS QUITE PUSHY BUT IT DOES LAYS THE PATH TO APPLY THE PRIVATE / DSS SCHOOLS THAT I THINK MOST OF THE PARENTS (FROM YORK) ARE AIMING AT THOSE SCHOOLS.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

Thank you MAMA-BEANBEAN... detailed and useful information

maggiemai77

thanks a mill, MAMA-BEANBEAN ..... very helpful...

MY PLEASURE.
PLS NOTE THE SCHOOL FEE I MENTIONED IS FOR K1(N1), NOT PN.

I JUST READ A POST FROM MUMMY SAYING YORK IS KIND OF A TRAINING CENTRE RATHER THAN A GOOD KINDER.
I DON'T THINK, AS THE FACT THAT, SHE / HE GETS THE KID STUDYING IN YORK BUT JUST GAVE THEIR QUITE UNFRIENDLY COMMENTS WITH THE HEARSAY OR IMMIGINATIONS. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY EVEN KNOW MORE THAN US THOSE HAVE KIDS GET THE SCHOOLING IN YORK.

I HOPE THEY CAN EXPLORE THEIR INSIGHT FURTHER WHY TO DEFINE YORK AS " TRAINING CENTRE", HOW COME IT'S A COMMERCIAL KINDER WHILST ANOTHER WELL- KNOWN KINDER LIKE SC/ KV/ KM ARE NOT ? THEIR CIRRICULUMS ARE ALSO VERY PUSHY & MANY OF THE PARENTS TOOK EXTRA TEACHING OUTTHERE TO MAKE SURE THEIR KIDS CAN GET THE OFFERS FROM DSS / PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

HOPE BEING A PARENT THOSE CAN BE MORE RESPONSIBLE & RESPECTFUL.
