Dear all,

How about the effectiveness of learning Japanese / French in school?  By the way, is the teacher teaching these 2 languages are native?

Little_Princess,

P.1 pupils will start from small group presentation in their own classes first and then there will be individual performance in the assembly in front of several other classes.
New pupils can expess their views on certain topics during the recess forum conducted by the Campus TV team so they can say something in front of the camera if they are brave enough.
There are also inter-class competition like "Spelling Bees" or something like that being held regularly.

If you think your daughter is still an introvert girl in P.1, it will be very likely that she will become a very confident and outgoing girl by the time she leaves the school after P.6.

Principal,

Really thanks for your detail information.

The in-class activities such as poem recitation, small group presentation... etc are the things that I am looking for.   

My daughter is a bit  ...

Little_Princess,

There are one native French and one native Japanese teacher and both of them are supported by several more local French/Japanese teachers.

In terms of number, there are more pupils learning French because a portion of the Non-Chinese pupils are taking French as their major language, in addition to English that is a must for every pupil.

Principal,

Your descriptions of the school learning environment and approach really impressed me.  

I believe presentation skill and outspoken character are the top key success factors for higher education and career.   These are the improvement area for my daughter.

After knowing more about the school, I am quite sure TSL is the school I am looking for.

Really thanks for your advices. :)

Little_Princess,

In general, the main difference between Western kids and Chinese kids is that the former are very presentable whereas the latter are rather shy and lack good communication skills.
If we look at the general standard of the university graduates in recent years, this is quite apparent.

To me, good presentation/communication skills and self-confidence are much much more important than just the knowledge in the textbooks.

Therefore, I think these are the aspects that many parents in HK would like to train up their children.

Principal,

You just speak out what I am thinking.  That's why I do not consider those school focusing on academic results.   

Even my kids may be able to deal with the high loading of academic training, I would not put her in such a school.  It would actually limit her potentials in academic.  Life is more than that!!!

Dear parents of senior grades,

Just received a notice regarding the “International Assessment for Schools” 
(for P.3-P.6 pupils only) from the school today.

Based on your past experience in previous years, would the school provide some exercises for the pupils to try before the assessment or did you buy past papers to let your children familiarize with the format of the assessment?

Or can we download the past papers from certain websites?

Can you please share your past experience with us?

Thanks in advance.

I recalled that one day my son brought back some cookies and he loves them so much that he only shared very little to me.
Also, he mentioned about Dr TSL and I wonder why my son know him.
Happy 10 Anniversary for TSL

My kid told me Dr. TSL visited the school and distributed some cookies - with letters T S and L on them.  Showed me the cookies.

Principal,

My daughter joined the assessment last year.  I didn't do anything for my daughter to prepare the assessment last year.  As long as I know, without any preparation, most of our pupils still got very good results at the end.

As I know moyan's son got high distinction in both Math and English subjects last year.  I hope she will come here and give us some ideas / advices about how to prepare this assessement.

principal

TINGMUM,

Thanks a lot for your comments.

That means basically we do not need to prepare too much for this assessment in advance.

But just curios to know the format of the assessment.
Will it be something like the P.3 TSA or something like that?

Do you know any websites/places where we can see the format of the past papers?


moyan,

If you do have any additional advice/comments, please share with us here.

Thanks in advance

Fatty,

I guess the assessment for the Science subject may be a bit difficult for P.3 so it will only start from P.4

If your son will be allowed to join this year, I guess you may not let him join the same assessment again next year, unless he will join the one which is also one grade higher!!

No.

(My kid did not take the assessment while in P3.  But only a few in each class did not participate.)

Dear all,

It’s just halfway through the first term examination.
We can have a small break tonight.

It’s a coincidence that so many new Campus TV programs have just been uploaded to the school website today.

The most funny episode is that a boy said in the Recess Forum “I wish the school can be moved to Sham Tseng because I live there”!!!      

And Miss Musica’s performance is really great!!!

Kids in school love Hello Musica very much.  My son  is very keen to find out who is Hello Musica in school!!!  

principal

TINGMUM,

After watching the Campus TV, your son should be able to find out Miss Musica's twin sister who is studying in P.5 of the school!!!

Dear all,

Are you aware that a new pop-up banner just appeared on the school website?

"A surprise is coming to TSL!  
5 more days to go...."

What's that?

I guess it may be some activities related to
the 10th Anniversary.


Anyone knows??

TINGMUM and Principal,

關於IAS, 我仔仔話好容易, 我無同佢準備架, 無需要的, 但我睇左派返d卷, 英文的文章都幾深, 但對TSL的学生嚟就不太難, 所以普遍成績都好好
