hope some parents can help me out with a few questions i have concerning CKY

1. other than school fee, is there anything extra cost?

2. what is book fee? pay once a year?

3. i see many fundraising  ...

hi sstreet06
think some of yr question s/b mentioned in seminar..
i try to give u some idea...

1/ instrument fee is $3950 per year, 1 lesson per week.

2/i dont have actual figure with me, just from memory  the book fees around $1000/+ per semester which includes also project files,worksheets, misc..etc.
There is also rental book scheme of around $200 per eng & chi subject per sem. school purchases the theme book and use it for 3 years.

3/School encourages parents' support in fund-raising however it's not compulsory. Various fund-raising like concert, raffle-tickets... parents can option to donate even with some minimum of $100.

4/2 teachers for lower levels, 1 for chi/poutongha, 1 for eng. some class with 1 more (eg.PE or training-teacher).
Eng teacher is usually net or studied aboard, they only speak eng at school.

5/year 1 class : cantonese for chinese lesson, appx.2 lessons of PTH per week.

6/lower levels do lunch in classroom, can bring own lunch box or purchase from lunch service provider.
Upper levels (guess yr 6 or7 onwards)can do lunch at open hall at G/Floor.

7/extra-curriculum activities (ECA) is optional, like dance, drama, lego, art... ETC is on saturday AM, 10 lessons per sem, costs a couple of hundreds.
School swim team is also optional, they plan to do it after school approx twice a week costs around $120-140per lesson in average.

8/ homework everyday, not plenty of writing, some needs parents' help in searching internet.
for year 1/2, teachers will walk thru the worksheet so kids understand what/how they should do (..well.. sometimes they cant remember all when got home thou..)

9/ Usually class teachers teaches 2 subjects, like science, arts, IT.. esp for lower levels.

CKY has school remission scheme for those who have difficulty in meeting tuition fees or activity fees, h/ever studuent must perform certain standard (academic & social conduct) in order to obtain school's recommendation.

Actually, these questions have been repeatedly asked and asked by people in this CKY section. There are plenty of resources here with abundant input of many parents.
