Hi BBChan,

Do Rachel does well this time?  Anyway, I think these are all her preparatory interview for her coming one, right??

Well, I have paid the registration fee in Yau Yat Chuen, however, I haven't made up my mind yet, cus my first choice is still Pui Ching.  

However, if Pui Ching interview is just like TW Baptist Kindergarten, I mean the chance for Gordon to entry Pui Ching is getting less and less because he is a bit scare and shy when interviewing the first session of TWBK.

Good Luck to you and Rachel.

Hi Gordon Ma,
Are you live in Tusen Wan?  I had paid the registration fee for Yau Yat Chuen as well!!  Would you choose Yau Yat Chuen or TW Baptist if TW Baptist accept Gordon ?? And why ?  It's difficult to choose, right ?  Do you know how long will the school bus take from TW to Yau Yat Chuen ?  I guess you want Gordon to have easy Kindergarten life if you like TW Baptist & Yau Yat Chuen , how come you would like Pui Ching most ?  It is a bit tranditional and the life of Gordon will not be easy there.  And for my understanding, Pui Ching's interview would not allow parents to accompany the kid.  Would that be OK for Gordon??

Hi Godzillap,

yeah, I live in Belvedere Garden Phase 2. Well, up to now, I still can't make up my mind yet, actually, I like the evnironemnt of YYCS and the friendly teachers but they adopt project approach. It will be a bit difficult for Gordon if I wish him to promote to a better primary school like Pui Ching or LaSalle (WISH and depend on his ability).  However, if he wants a really happy and easy life for his schooling, YYCS is the best one. They have told me that the time is scheduled at around 7:35am every morning, however, it is just estimated, they haven't confirmed with the driver. it's quiet early.  

One thing, when I spoke with the teacher of YYCS, I told them that Gordon is currently studying in the N1 class of Luk Yeung. I know this school and said Luk Yeung has a lot of homework to do. So, I guess Luk Yeung is not that bad. I know a mommy who her daughter is studying in the same class with Gordon, she has a same thinking like me.

For TWBaptist, I guess the chance is quiet low even they accept him. I really hope Gordon can learn more English, honestly, I don't like Chinese very much. I use to speak English with Gordon at home. I really have no confident with our local teachers who speak English with my kids. It is because TWBaptist is quiet popular in TW, so, I just try. Besides, Gordon is studying in Luk Yeung and he seems very happy there, it is not neccessary to move to another kindergarten in the same district.  Luk Yung provides English lessons every day and one mandarin lesson on every Fridays. These seems fine to me.

Although Pui Ching is my first choice, as I said before, I really don't like Chinese and not good at that. Well, the only way is I have to learn Chinese again lor. I know they don't allow parents to stay with the kids during interviewing.  Well, god bless gordon and me. I always ask Gordon that can you handle the interview and play with other kids if Mom is not in here (interview room) with you. HE SAYS,  'NO'. So, I am not that confident if Pui Ching will accept him. The reason I choose Pui Ching is the students from kindergarten can directly promote to primary school without any testing or interview again and for the secondary school, they will accept around 85% primary student to promote to F1. Reason is simple but it is hard work for Gordon and me if he gets in.

btw, where is your son studying now? Have you let him studied in nursery school?  It seems to me that it is quiet useful for my son since he speaks lot and looks smarter than before. Besides, TWBaptist, have you applied any other kindergarten in Tsuen Wan and Kowloon Tong or somewhere else? So far, I think I'm a bit crazy, Gordon has taken part in 4 interview la. York (Accepted but I gave up), YYCS, TWBaptist, Keen Mind (don't like this school even they accepted Gordon). The coming are St Catherine, Kenville, 荊免堂, Soka, Pui Ching, Kowloon Rhenish. I have never given pressure to Gordon. Just tell him try your best to answer to question. On the other hand, it is a good practice for him to face stranger and talk with him.

Or maybe at last, Gordon will study in Luk Yeung.

Hello! Gordon Ma,

Well, according to my hubby, Rachel is doing "quite well" in TWBK's interview (but I'll 打個9折 from what my hubby said :  : , so I think she was "just OK" in her interview).  You are correct, TWBK is not my target, so as what you said these interviews are only the preparations for Rachel's next interview in TASF on 20/11.  

From your message, it seems that you still have several interviews ahead of Pui Ching's, so I think Gordon will be OK in Pui Ching's interview.  Maybe Gordon will give you a big surprise in Pui Ching's interview.  So just relax and don't let Gordon feels that you are worried about his performance. (其實我都 [係有口話人, 冇口話自己] 架咋 , 共勉之! ).

All the best!

BBChan,

Yeah, you are right. I've never given pressure to him so I feel very hard for myself during this period. I wish he can study in Pui Ching but this is really out of my control, even is Gordon, himself. So, anyway...

Gordon Ma,
I live in Greenview Court!! We are neightbour!!
By the way, what is project approach?? Hong Kong Baptist University Kindergarten also adopt project approach but it is quite a propular Kinder now, how come YYCS will have problem ?  7:35am is a bit early... I will wait and see what other Kinders would offer a place for my son before I make up my mind but that cost a lot of money, at least $500-$550 each!!  I have a friend spent more than $3000 last year, I was told she found it was still very difficult to make the final decision.  She chosed YYSC finally.
For Luk Yeung, I have paid the $550 as well but I found the school is a bit old and a bit commerical... I & my hubby do not like it very much.  But, I think Luk Yeung has the best English environment among the TW Kinders.
For Pui Ching, I believe its Kinder & Primary sections are good but the Secondary School (a Chinese one)  is not that good -- I have a friend teaching in the secondary school, he said he will not hightly recommend this.
I believe TWBaptist is good but I have the same worry as you do.  It is too small & they don't have native English Speaker to teach English.
My son has not gone to any Nursery but I let him join a English Playgroup twice a week.  You apply for 10 Kinders is not that crazy, I have friend apply for 12 Kinders !! I only have 9 ( TWBaptist, YYCS, Annunication Catholic, Our Lady, Luk Yeung, St Catherine, Kentville, St Nicholas, PLK Tam Au-Yeung Siu Fong ).  What  a busy November for all of us there.  I'm very tired already, therefore I might give up some of the interview.  Good luck to you and Gordon for the coming interviews.
