I feel the same about the underskirt.  Cos' it's too long.  I think I will let her wear under-vest, until she has the height to wear the underskirt.  Or until I receive complaints from the school

Meet you all on Sat.

And did you prepared anything for your children?  I've done nothing.  And she is sick this week, so she is even more sticky

I have the same concern too.  Will let her wear white under-vest.

Just 2 more weeks to go, but I still haven't bought her white running shoes yet - lazy mom.

See u all on Sat.

i will also give my daughter under vest first, as the under vest is so long that can also serve as an under skirt at present.

chan_wingyee

No no, that is smart.  I just take out the shoes my daugter wear for her nusery class, it's already not fit ...... only 2 months, her foot grows lah ......

Thanks everyone.  That's what I am planning to do as well.  

This is the first time for me, is there anything I need to prepare for school? labels, what should I pack in the school bag? etc, etc. I can't believe it is happening so soon.

chan_wingyee

We've received the school bus time table today.  We are route no.7, Chai Wan, Siu Sai Wan, Heng Fa Chuen.

But the school pass will also stop in CWB in the morning

my girl's route is no.11, mainly serving Kornhill and North Point!

I feel lots and lots of things to prepare and to do, after Orientation Day!  Tin arh, I'm sure I will miss some of it.

And for the Eng teacher, I feel a little bit uncomfortable.  But I forgot to chat w/ them after the classroom visit.

Any moms have talked w/ them?  Are they nice?  Any feel of the accent and intonation???

For the first feeling, i shared it with u, actually, it was my hubby went to the orientation as i needed to work that day. My hubby briefed me again afterwards and we both felt it was just like military training to the girl.

For the 2nd feeling, i don't have just because it was not me attending the briefing, maybe u r right!!!

Wait to c u all 1 week later!

chan_wingyee,
I feel exactly the same as you, I am quite worried about the NET after the orientation.  

rachael

I have the same feeling about the english teacher.  I thought maybe I am too sensitive since I lived overseas for a long time and my daughter speaks English most of the time.

Since I can teach my daughter English at home, I think it should be ok... but I am more concerned about her Chinese.  She can understand some, but she does not speak it.

chan_wingyee,

I have the same feeling toward the English language ability.  I met a mother at a bookstore.  Her son is attending Victoria Kindergarten and talked in good English.  She does has the reservation on Sacred Heart especially on the English language skill training, and the more rigid demand.  When she compared another child studying at Sacred Heart to her son in the same level, her son's English and Putongua are way better than the SH girl! That really worries me, a lot.  I know, I know, I know.  I can always send my daughter to ESF. American International or go back to Singapore or the US for better language training but I like Sacred Heart for her care.  Just to echo my concern.  I guess I need to use the wait and see approach to see how it works.

chan_wingyee

My daughter attended Victoria Pre-Nursery last term.  And I've talked with the Eng. teacher about this.  The teacher said as they are Bilingual KG, they have English teacher with the class everyday, which is different from other schools.  So to keep up with Eng standard, she suggest me to use Eng to communicate with my child.

So I guess if I want to upkeep my daughter's Eng level, more efforts should be added by me.

I'm still worried about the homework, newspaper cutting, form-filling e.t.c., cos' I'm such a forgetful person.  Just wish me and my girl good luck.

Children would not remember the language if not used frequently enough.  I have to talk to my elder daughter in English now rather than in Cantonese because of her US and ESF education.  Now, my younger daughter had already forgotten to speak in Putongua, the childhood language because of the Cantonese education in her pre-Nursery class.  I hope the putongua sessions in SH will enhance her memory of it.  

We as the parents are really at lost.  The mother tongue Cantonese is so restrictive to Hong Kong, part of Guangzhou and Chinatowns.  Singapore is way ahead of Hong Kong in this aspect, training its citizens in good English and Putonghua.  Although they sound funny but their gramma are very good.

So far, I keep all my options open and keep a wait and see position. If I cannot find a good school for my daughter, I may have to choose any place.  Speaking, reading and writing English and Putonghua is extremely important for my child.

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who use English most of the time.  I lived in Australia for a long time and that's why I tend to talk in English.  I am not so used to the Hong Kong education system.  

I would like to meet with parents who speaks English.  Are your children in AM or PM class?

chan_wingyee ,
u can put all notices in a file and u check up every day...hhaa...u will get many many notice back when the school term start.....dont worry....we also like this last yr and all bk mami will post out what things need to bring tmr. one more tips, i must take the notice back next school day so that i will not forget it( same as u...i always forget things ga!!)

After the bb learn more in SH,  teachers will ask them to bring sth to school without notice. So u can talk with bb everyday and ask them any things need to bring...but dont worry...not important things...just toys or things about the topic teaching ga jar~~

book report: bb will go to school library to borrow book every friday. after reading they can draw a picture about the book and parents can write few words about the book or the picture....easy ar~~

only 1 homework every day....no need to write words...easy...only spend few minutes ga jar~

Don't worry.  It may be the same problem for every moms, especially working moms.  We can help each other by sharing info on BK or over the phone.  

Take it easy - just let us kids enjoy their happy and wonderful school life.  Do believe SH is a good kinder (that's why you chose it - Right!!)
