How do you feel this school?
How is the standard?
Since it is emphasize on English, will your children's Chinese to be poor?
What activities will be there after school (if studying full time)?
Your information is valuable, thanks!

Hi QQboy,
I am not a Stafford parent but I went to the interview last Saturday (6Nov).  Were you there too?  Both my husband and I like the school very much.  It's small but warm and cosy.  I also share your concern about the standard of Chinese language.

Hi, danielboy:
Yes, I was there last Saturday and today I receive the acceptance letter.
Will your child study for full day starting from K2?
I am still thinking because the fee is quite expensive!
Moreover, I visited this school previously. I know that the travelling time from my home to school by school bus is more than an hour. So we must consider it carefully.
Another thing we concern is the campus' size. It seems that there are only classrooms. Less indoor place for playing.
If you want to know more this school, you can ask for a visit at weekday to see how the children have lesson. They are welcome to do so!

QQboy,
I am still considering whether I should pay the registration fees.  My son is currently attending N1 in Keen Mind which is also in Kowloon Tong.  The travelling time by school bus is approximately 35-40 minutes which is still acceptable.  Regarding the campus, I think I would need to take another look when I go for class visits.  I am planning to do that in December.  In any case, I have no plans to send my son to full day school at kinder level.

Hi,

I also received the admission letter this morning. My busband and I feel comfortable with this school and teachers so I will go to make the registration for my son. I will also ask if the school will start to have full day for K1 or not as I want my son to join full day school. I think he can finish the homework in the school and also join more activities to widen his experience.

danielboy:
I have checked the travelling time from my home to school. It takes within half an hour only. So it's acceptable. I think that I will register first.
I also will have interview in SC & Kentville. If these two do not admit my child, this is my third choice.

TSLiu:
There will not be full time for K1 temporarily. I have asked them.

QQboy,

Thanks for your information. Anyway, I will register it first and go with my son to SC interview tomorrow as well. I still wonder any difference between Stafford & SC as I only select one from these two schools. I don't think I will go to Kentville any more.
