Hi, 112200

In the old days, they went to the usual ones such as ESF, CIS, CDNIS, GSIS.... etc.  But I am not sure about the current situation especially after the set up of the SIS secondary school.   Perhaps other parents can share.

有朋友個仔讀到高小，轉去CIS （佢開心過中六合彩）。
佢話SIS語境吳錯，校風純樸，吳算死谷，但佢就話教d野同佢係super名小的大女比，淺好多。

學得多及深, 長遠是否對小朋友一定有利呢?

一個個家長啦！
I myself give up CIS for SIS. I know I am not alone, another class-mate of my son did the same. May be we are just minority!

點解放棄CIS呢？
佢公佈的university placement真係好好，不過當然同家長的connection都有關。

I like the humbleness and low profile of SIS. Don't ask me why.  This is only my impression.

我諗我明，我都無報CIS😊

Hi bobbycheung,

Me again. may I seek for your advice. As I know students ( ie primary and secondary) need to have regualr test & exam, I just wondering would the teaching method in SIS be " one way " same as " traditional local school " ? Then lack of the intractive " 2 way " learning environment ? This query extend to anther questions ....Will the teacher give encouragement to all  students just like what we expect in IS ? Or will they concentrate on a few top students like the traditional local school in the old days ( like in my generation )?  

Or if any other SIS parents is here, kindly share too. Million thanks

I think the current SIS parents are in a better position to answer your questions.  I don't really want to give you my out-dated information.  Sorry!

How old of a child does sis start admitting? And what language does the interview conduct in? How should I prepare my child now? I'm overwhelmed by the HK educational system.

PY1 start 4-5 years old. You can choose either eng or PTH for interview. But I think you better prepare kid for both eng & PTH , while as far as I know some kids got both english and PTH teacher approached during the interview.
