Hi all mums,

I'd also like to know how the school report of your kid is like.  Is the grading strict?

My son's doesn't look quite good, especially the grades given by the Chinese teacher (some are **).  He's the extremely active and talkative type and the teacher complained about him every time I picked him up from school.  He attended pre-nursery in Victoria and the report he got was just perfect.  These days, he always talked about wishing to go back to Victoria, and I can't help thinking if I've made the wrong choice for him....

Yes, most of the grade given by chinese teacher are between ** and ***, only a few ****.  However, by foreign teacher, my daughter got a lot ****, so there is the difference.

chingchingmama,
Me too. I am also disappointment. Do you think is it school policy? However, I believed Ms Tang is strict teacher but she is very 細心. When she found my son  some"oor behavior".She must tell me. Then, I can correct my son at home. In fact, it is really to help my son. I think --we should not too mind school report. Next time, our kids must impoved.

chingchingmama & kamling123,
okay 啦! 多數mark ** & ***, 只有3項係****是Ms Tang 比的.  2個老師我都有詳談過, 我覺得Ms Tang比較細心,冷靜,有耐性,了解小朋友性格.    Mrs Surtani 比較性急, 她的實淺比起理論較遜色.

Ciz,
你仔仔讀那一班? 咁點解讀讀下victoria要change to SC? victoria是否HK side?

Hi, LuLu, chingchingmama and kamling123,

My girl's report were more or less the same. I think the teacher cannot give very good result on the first time as it needs room for improvement. Parents would be happier if every time gets improvement.

I've received the letter which my girl sticked the stamp in school and posted to herself yesterday ( the one we wrote the envelope for them last week). There's a school-life photo inside. She told me the classmates' name were Esther and May. They are in the same group now (Rabbit).

Chingchingmama,
係呀, 我都收了那封信, 裡面有2幅相.

LuLuCheung,

Because I moved from HK to Kln side this last summer.  I've just given birth to my second baby so we wished to live nearer my in-laws' family.  Also, I thought for boys, there are more choices of good primary schools on Kln side.

My son is in Lemon (b) class in Essex campus.

hi all,

My daughter is accepted by SC for 2005. What are your comments about this school so far?

I've heard that the classroom is really small and kids get sick so easily. Is that true?

Also, are the teachers attentive to the students?

Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,

My son has been offered a place in PM session at 1 Essex Crescent.  From the acceptance letter, it is found that needs to pay school fee, miscellaneous fee and school bus fee.
Could anyone tells me is there any other fee needs to pay?
The school fee is $3309, how much needs to pay every month excluding school bus fee?

So far so good.

SC課室有大有細. *如果係咁,學生人數都有影響* 剛剛返學, 生病多數都會, 你要有心理準備.

Also, are the teachers attentive to the students?
我個case係, 但不代表個個都係.

Thanks for sharing.

All parents,
SC is so far so good. If they offer your kid a seat, just don't give up. It is hard to tell you how good, otherwise, you will say that I am "making horse".

肥媽咪

咁我想知3千幾蚊學費，你地覺得值唔值呀？

ThePooh,

Please tell more why you think SC is good.  I think they have good brand name, good quality of teachers, but I think that the English teaching from K2 onwards is not good enough and does not worth $3600 per month.  Besides, the campus and classrooms seems too small for over 700 kids.  Maybe you know better and so hope you can give some comments.

Thanks.

ThePooh

WYmomㄛ
I just know K1 is so far so good. I have no idea about K2. If K2 is like what other moms said, I have a little bit worry. I think we better ask the K2 moms. I want to know too.

I have the same concern as WYmom.  If it is true, would it worth the money?  My child's kindy has native speakers all the way through from Pre-nursery to Upper Class, which costs $2950 per month.  He can still speak good English.  Moreover, a child's English standard should not rely on the school alone.  Parents' effort should not be neglected.  People think it is good because of its reputation?
