冇人話家長鬥，係聽者有意、對號入座、定自己妄想？

RC同SJS之間的種種、去過RC briefing 的人都會知。

唔好意思. 請問你點知道BHS and kjs 收得曬 ESF pass 的學生?

For those who joined since K1, those i know who were initially in the reserved list have got offers now. But some kids who joined in K2 (i.e without kinder priority) are still in waitlist in BHS, KJS and SJS (not very updated, at least  1-2 months ago, as very few people talk about this in the whatsapp groups any more).

有冇家長可以share RC補習風氣如何，playground language 多唔多廣東話？

有人補習、有人不補習；補習跟成績不一定有關係。
Playground以英文為主，但學校一向又鼓勵家長用母語。
其實想報名year one的家長應跟學校安排school tour, 自己去了解一下。

再覆一下有家長提出：「覺得RC英文差D，唔鐘意五歳小朋友同十幾歲的問一校舍操場，唔鍾意RC太早乜都iPad , 想小朋友至少細嘅時候多啲用返紙同筆etc」

1）英文不一定差D，但香港孩子較多是實情；

2）五歲同十幾歲同一校舍操場，我初初都擔心和不習慣，但現在覺得這是美；對成長的孩子有好多優勢；

3）太早iPad, 不用紙筆？在junior primary, 使用iPad和電腦等只是輔助，無問題；反而家庭太早放手小孩用smart phone才鋳成大錯。

留意：RC是Y6開始自攜laptop上學，比ESF早一年，學校安排非常好。

第三點非常認同。
上課用 ipad 的 “禍害” 其實遠少於個小朋友自己自由用一部智能手機

我有去SCHOOL VISIT, 當日有聽到兩個 year 1 小朋友講廣東話, 但其餘都係講英文.

明白間間都有人補習, 我亦唔係totally against 補習, 係有d擔心會形成小朋友之間太多competition,有D競爭當然都係好.

IPAD 個D我都唔覺得有咩問題.

宜家希望RC 收我地喇!

我仔來年升Y9, 未曾補習；靠他自己，一切可以安好。（包括中文）

小學時盡量不要放手機(我仔只有non-smart phone)和電腦games; 多閲讀、真的可以放心。

Radiomama,
Thanks for your kind sharing all through.  I've been following discussions on RC for a long while and your sharing have always been very helpful.

My child is very lucky to be given an interview for RC this Jan (without an priority nor an NR), but he got rejected......... My kid was born in Oct 2012 and he was shy.... schooling has always been a real headache.  

Do you know how hard it is to apply for a place in Y2 or the years to follow?

Be prepared to the admission test from Y2. Better to study in an int'l school with good command of English.

其實話RC同SJS有恩怨 我對此說法 好有保留, 我係ESF K2家長, 回想一月嘅時候只有收到SJS既reserved list. 眼見同班同學 八成都係 on guaranteed list, 都好擔心, 但我自己就心儀rc多啲 因為我鍾意繁體中文, 校舍設施 同地點, 我唔明好多人話sjs地點好 但係喺半山 諗緊如果落大雨車行嗰條又彎ㄡ斜路都已經有啲擔心 到大個啲如果留喺學校課外活動 要行過對面 先有小巴 我很擔心， 相反RC就係正地鐵站出口 唔使揼雨. 當然SJS 都係一間好學校。最後好開心我有rc offer， 其實我覺得rc同sjs嘅admission officer係有溝通, 我發覺有SJS guarantee list 嘅同學9x%只有rc waiting list, 相反個啲學生on SJS reserve list 好似我 咁就有rc offer. 我嗰班大概只有四至五個小朋友有rc offer. 出result十幾日後sjs都有打電話畀我話可以畀到offer我 但係我冇take. 我諗返轉頭我覺得好好彩sjs冇畀guarantee list我 如果唔係 可能我都係 on rc waiting list. 剛去完rc parent嘅induction briefing. 好鐘意佢哋嘅lunch安排, 教學方法， 飯堂同校舍都好靚， 而家期待8月開學 好相信RC係一間happy school!

可否講下為什麼喜歡SJS over RC?

Both are good schools and it was a tough decision to choose one over the other. We picked Foundation School at the end of the day as we have sibling to follow. Foundation School only interviewed limited candidates (mostly from ESF Kinder) which gave a higher chance of success as compare to RC. Having said that, we struggled a lot to give up RC offer with sleepless nights...

We are choosing from BHS and RC, would you still go for foundation school (BHS)?

We chose foundation school over RC. So you paid both schools?

No ah, we are only applying this Sept, since ESF changed to "one application policy", we have to rank our choices already at application.

I need to make the same choice, between BHS and RC. RC has traditional Chinese so its very attractive to me. But its a bit far from home. And it seems that its academic result is a bit worse than the foundation schools. would it be a concern for you? I stil haven't made up my mind.........
