yeah, I do agree w/ sschiu.  What you shd concern at the 1st sight is not the tution fee but what kind of school does yr child suitable for.  Besides attending the school seminars, you better go through all our discussion in BK so that you could hv more ideas.

Hi bbwong,

The main difference between CKY and most international schools is that CKY has a very strong Chinese curriculum. Principal Lau's expertise is in teaching of Chinese language using putonghu ...

yes yes, bbwong, you must first of all understand your child and think abt what value is the MOST important to you and what you what to instill in your child.  then look around for schools which is th ...

bbwong,  I guess some parents have already explained the importance of 'matching' between your kid and the school.

Perhaps I could share my thoughts on the English standard of CKY students.  Some of them are really good.  They are more than fluent in English.  As I always say, their spoken English is well above most students (elite local schools included).  Fair to say that there are only a few English primary schools that have the majority of lessons conducted in English.

However, if you are really concerned about the 'native' accent of English and would like to compare with IS, I wouldn't recommend CKY to you.  Some students are not following the language policy and therefore do not talk to each other in English (or PTH) as required.

After all, it really depends on what you are looking for and what you'd like your kid to be?  If English is your only criterion, you'd better go for an IS.

bbwong,

Agree with you, the tution fee is high compare with local school (Zero) or even DSS.  If you estimate what you pay and what you get, I will say it is worth.  If school can reduce the tution fee and at the same time provide an excellent teaching staff and facilites, I will be very very happy.  Now, I am happy with what I got.  Of couse, if you can afford more, properly you may get better outcome.

Say HK XXX Light.  It is talking about $2xxx per month...Happy, right.  May be you think it is too high too.  But what they can offer is only 1 Oral (Eng) lesson per week, which instructed by a Native Teacher (as I understand).  If you have to reach your ultimate goal, you may estimate how much additonal $ you have to invest....1000 per month...Na...2000 per month...duno...you have to find a native teacher 1 to 1 say everyday.

My son has just completed his second week in P1.
I think he speaks very agreeable English, but that is only because I would only speak to him in English since his birth (I went to study in the UK when I was 12). Moreover, he is not allowed to watch Cantonese TV.
Putonghua, however, is OK.

I am not sure whether a "native" accent is all that important.
Accent only play a small part in one’s ability to communicate.
Long time BBC watchers/listeners would have noticed that “received pronunciation”, at one point the only acceptable accent, have fallen out of vogue in the recent decades.


BTW, I have turned down an offer from Shatin Junior to come to CKY.
So you can see that sporting a “native” accent is not on the top of my set of priorities.

Dear all CKY parents,

I am very interested to apply CKY for my son and would like to seek your kind assistance.

I have checked year 1 admissions application which stated "OPTIONAL: an additional two A4 pages of your choosing i.e. recommendation letter" - is that mean there's no need to submit profile & other activities certificates?

Million thanks.

sschiu

makfr,

I cannot speak for the school, but my feeling is that it is nice to show the certs / achievements of your child if you have. However, I don't think they are very important in their decision making. I remember the teacher did flipped through our profile while she was talking with us during the second interview. She did asked some questions on some of the photos and certs. Anyway, I think the profile just helped to give the teacher some general impressions but not crucial. More important is if parents really understand their education philosophy, mission and curriculum and agree with them.

sschiu & ckwliu,

Thank you very much for your advice.  


I think the most important is the performance of our kids during interview, and, of course the parents should have same education philosophy with the school.


Once again, thank you so much for your assistance.

Any student who has already joined the instrument course in Percussion.  My daughter is first year to join.  She need to buy drum sticks and drum pad and the most expensive one is the Xylophone (HKD1400).
Is that true?

係呀!除了drum pad外, 仲要買一個Xylophone, 我想因為老師除了想學生懂得打節奏外, 亦希望他們學懂睇譜啦!

請問各位家長，學校可否代報名參加校際音樂節(PIANO),因去年問過,話必需要學校敎INSTRUMENT的老師推薦才可,而今年問了很多次都未有明確的回答

請問各位家長，學校可否代報名參加校際音樂節(PIANO),因去年問過,話必需要學校敎INSTRUMENT的老師推薦才可,而今年問了很多次都未有明確的回答

去年起，校方已不再為在外學習樂器的學生報名參加校際音樂節，即是說，不會為學piano學生服務
當時有不少家長向校方投訴，認為全港99%學校都會為學生報名Piano比賽
為何CKY連這些基本服務也沒有
甚至有家長去信保良局投訴
要知道，報名校際音樂節是要由協會會員（即是學校）申請
而學生的在外學習樂器導師未必是會員
加上比賽是注明「校際比賽」，實難想像校方何以有此行政決策

綜合道聽途說，原因有三：

1] 基本上，大部份學生都有學琴，故此報考人數眾多，學校不想為此浪費人力資源。

2] 在外學習樂器的學生，得獎數目比在校內學習樂器為多，故此令校方感到尷尬。

3] 校方已有一種名校心態，對於在外學習樂器在比賽得獎的學生，不想沾光。

總之，這是校方的決定，如果今年不變，家長可以「慳番啖氣」，要做的，去年很多家長已經做了。

P.S.
奇怪，最近校方招募游泳隊
但學校好像是沒有游泳班的（是嗎？）
那麼，如果根據校方的思維，
這些在外學習游泳的學生，又怎可以代表學校出賽？

Do anyone know when they will recruit the new comers to the School Orchestra Band? What is their minimum requirement and which Grade they need to achieve or pass? If so, I will arrange and well prepare for the ABRSM exam in this year. She is now in Year 2. Grade 2 or above??

我孩子班的同學，來自很多不同幼稚園
有名牌幼稚園，有不是名牌幼稚園
有英文幼稚園，也有中文幼稚園
所以，不一定是以來自那幼稚園而收生

My son is studying at a local KG (SA).  I'm afraid the chance will be very low?

The post you saw was made in 2005, which described the students admission 4 years ago.  Given the increasing number of applicants year by year, the school is now having many more choices of students so their KGs could be one of the factors for consideration.

話雖如此，相比學生的語言能力及幼稚園品牌，我認為學校會視前者更為重要。若孩子能聽懂或操流利英語（及普通話）會較有優勢。

My girl is only come from a English local KG which is only well-known in our area but it is also a PLK brand.  However she is not fluent in English but we like to read books together.  So I believe the chance is not so low if you kid also likes to read books.
