Is Ying Wa Primary School as good as said in the DVD?

SundayOff

I have just applied for 2012 P.1 at YWPS for my child and was given the DVD. I have to say that it's a good source of information for the school and the DVD is entertaining too. It is impressing parents in various ways. My takeaway is

• The Principal is very friendly, creative and energetic
• Various ways of enlightening and motivating kids through Hi-Tech experiments, games and themed events.
• Learning is made an attractive and fun activity.
• Good heritage and history of the culture and education philosophy.

Can parents of existing students share their view? I have heard mixed comment before.

Sorry that I can't type Chinese well but feedback in English or Chinese are welcomed. Thank you for your comment in advance.

Would you share your "heard mixed comment" for YW?  Very interested to know.

要答呢幾條題目有少少難度,我嘗試客觀咁來答下啦.

• The Principal is very friendly, creative and energetic ==creative同energetic就好肯定既,至於係咪friendly,我自己就真係冇點接觸佢,而以學生來講,大部份都鐘意佢既,但係亦都會有部份學生始終覺得佢係校長,唔係咁敢同佢講野囉.呢一部份就係仔仔既睇法.
• Various ways of enlightening and motivating kids through Hi-Tech experiments, games and themed events. ==呢樣可以肯定既.
• Learning is made an attractive and fun activity. ==我相信都係,因為仔仔都好鐘意上堂,片入面都影到佢,但係佢自己都唔係好知俾人影左,因為當時佢好留心咁聽緊老師講野,應該係吸引先會咁卦?當然都有可能係人地見佢留心先影佢既.
• Good heritage and history of the culture and education philosophy.==呢樣就真係唔識答啦,因為我只係睇緊而家既情況啫,以前既野冇考究.

不過都想加多一句,就係同一種教學模式,響唔同既學生身上,係可能有唔同既效果.例如可能有學生係適合活動教學,但係有學生唔適合.又例如學校程度淺,對學野好快既學生又會唔適合,(呢D都係例子,唔係話YW就係咁),所以最緊要都係學生&家長都唔好錯配啫.

I think for "例如學校程度淺,對學野好快既學生又會唔適合", if your son are accepted by YW, your son is approved of his ability.  So no concern of it.

For "例如可能有學生係適合活動教學,但係有學生唔適合", only parents should know it.

再聲明一次先呀,呢個只係唔同教學方法會有唔同效果既例子,唔代表YW係咁樣呀!

雖然係經過幾次既面試,但係始終都有錯配既個案既.

錯配既個案我認同有機會發生。

Grateful to know if any parents could share some examples of 錯配?

I know many YW boys are very talented and there are lots of "prize-winning" students.  If for the others 比較平庸的who fail to win any prizes for the school, will they also have a happy life in school?

Furbymao

校內的老師對學生有愛心嗎?

基本上入左既，大部份都係有能力響唔同方面去攞獎既人。有好多項目可以參加，一個ＸＸ團都有成幾十人參加啦。去為自己又好，為學校又好，點都有機會去攞到獎既，攞左咪大家都開心囉。除非真係自己乜野都唔參與啦，我就冇問過呢Ｄ乜都唔參加，又冇攞過獎既人既感受啦。
講真，如果係有能力既，真係一個可以俾佢發揮到所長既學校囉。

認同學校給與學生好多機會，學業成績只係其中一部份。每個小朋友都可以在不同的地方（如樂團、合唱團、運動、田徑等等）去發掘自己的長處，建立自己。學校好肯用獎勵形式去鼓勵小朋友。可以說，只要你肯參與，學校會盡能力給你肯定。

這亦是一些只顧谷成績的學校不能提供的。

overview

間間學校都係咁講, 要小朋友全面發展, 但成績都唔可以太差, 即係如果你應付學校功課冇問題, 學校係好鼓勵小朋友多作其他方面發展. 呢點, 都唔係只有英華可以做得到.

無論這裡的人說好或不好, 你都是無法證實啦!

如果係喜歡人, 就去馬啦!
係懷疑的話, 無論說什麼你都係唔安樂.

你揀人, 人揀你
相睇咗先算啦

真係睇父母想法及爲子女決定

有人希望無壓力愉快學習

有人希望子女快人一步

小兒來年上小四，對學校只有喜歡

YW 小學是充滿活力及令人驚喜，學生是play hard and work hard.

"friendly, creative and energetic..." all true in my opinion. I knew the principal in other occasion many years ago, I was not even a mom then (i.e. she did not need to please me). I think I saw the real side of her personality and it's as "friendly, creative and energetic" as you can see nowaday.

Recently my friend and I shared opionion on HK schools, and we agreed that the principal is very very important, especially in DSS and private schools in which they can have their own directions.

我想校長因素對津校都重要.
不過直資私校更重要.
有人成日問我, 某某學校的老師點, 好唔好.
但我話, 老師好極, 都唔會全部好晒
最重要係學校整體的課程結構, 風格
如果先天課程安排唔好, 就算俾你最好的老師,
都係無用的.
而呢個整體安排, 很大程度, 就係睇校長.

你看香港政府就知.
個龍頭無用. 下面班官, 幾叻都好,
結局只可以被人同化.

其實呢間用番中文教數和GS, 我已好欣賞.
簡介會的講者仲好斬釘截鐵地講這對小朋友係有好處.
完全唔似別的小學, 又話會考慮點點點,
我反而覺得英華更加直接.
真係知道乜野先係為左小朋友好.

你說得對，的確是每間學校都咁講。但可以好肯定絕不是每間學校都做得到。
當然，英華亦絕不是唯一一間，不過個topic問緊英華嘛........
