聖心明天 Interview la

w_y

而係無任何機會讓家長or小朋友同老師或校長傾談/參觀學校環境/了解教學理念及課程安排
如此單向既安排, 我個人感覺好唔良好

其實呢樣都算係佢地校風, 唔止幼稚園, 小學唔係校慶你都唔好諗外人咁易有得了解太多. 視乎你信任辦學團體及學校程度有幾多了. 好多修會, 尤其係女修會辦的老學校都係咁. 既然學校俾到你呢個印像, 此次面試對你而言已有得著, 就係了解到此校風氣不適合你, 可以不作考慮.

或者我要強調一點, 我並唔係投訴,
我非常尊重學校既安排, 亦十分欣賞家長義工既努力

只不過我選校既重點maybe同喜愛聖心的家長有所不同
我亦只係講出我個人的睇法同感覺

如果only睇名氣及家長comment, 聖心係我考慮之列
但經過參加其他學校既open day, 簡介會同各個面試後,
我喜愛其他學校更甚於聖心, 咸魚青菜各有所愛罷了!

面試前同面試後各間學校係家長心目中既排名都會有所不同
我慶幸透過面試了解聖心唔係我杯茶

但我相信能夠得到咁多好評, 聖心絕對係好學校
再次祝福喜愛聖心既家長, 小朋友能夠考獲offer

其實好多小學都係o甘，所以你看到有些人竟用中學排名榜來參考學校好唔好

Please, no ones say you are complaining.

Often time there are  argument in EK, it is because there is a huge gap of communications among parents nowadays, which is originate from the wide variation of expectation.

Again, everyone have their own freedom to choose, so it is perfectly fine for you to based on your own judgment and expectation on what a school should be.

My personal comment is, some parents nowadays feel it is perfectly reasonable that all schools should provide information session and open day for outsiders to get to know them.  However, in case you are not aware, the reasons why these information sessions are being setup in the first place, are for schools which have major issues accepting students so it is kinda promotion to attract students.  Sooner or later, this somehow become the trend and parents assume all schools ought to provide such information.

However, there are many reasons behind why a school will not host such events, and in particular it is somehow related to the religion of the schools (some schools will give in while some don't).  So, when a parent wants to understand a school thoroughly, there are bits and pieces which you have to understand while you do your "shopping".  I assume you won't expect "Chanel" or "Louis Vuitton" to run a discount sales promotion as you already know they won't be doing that.  Will that lessen your interest of buying their products?  Nevertheless, I am just using this as an example to make it easier to understand.  As I always remind parents, schools are not commercial entities and shouldn't be evaluated like a consumer good.

Anyway, thanks for the sharing and hope you have found the right school which suit your need.

其實聖心是否好學校要視乎家長各自對好學校的定義，例如我覺得SPK非常好但我朋友就覺得CCKG先叫好。

呢位媽媽在面試后有所決定真的非常好，唔會好似集郵黨注冊晒d offer至慢慢揀

我沒有覺得你在投訴. 找學校過程中, 去過不少開放日/簡介會, 一定可以加深你對學校的了解 (或者誤解). 我自己都係透過此類活動, 把一些學校在自己名單中剔除. 還記得選小學, 真係用幾年時間搜集資料, 果幾間老牌女修會學校, 真係除左門口望下幢建築, 睇下佢地網頁, 你想知多D 就要自己想辦法. 不過真正到子女就讀時 (包括聖心幼), 以我了解果幾間學校提供的資訊和溝通渠道, 倒是非常足夠, 不用擔心.

But i think open day is a good channel for parents to learn more details about the school philosophy, learning environment, etc., better than through surfing on the internet or discussing in forum. Information from forum could be very subjective, like this post. Certainly, some kindergartens make use of open day for their promotion, but at least the information is released transparently for parents' own judgements. So, I do hope every kindergarten could organize an open day such that parents would have an official channel to better communicate with schools. Of course it is just a hope and my personal point of view

唔好意思，咁對一個二歲幾小朋友係咪要求過高，老實講，我同你都未做到！

...

目標咋喎?! 我同你都未做到 (只係COPY, 至於閣下做唔做到我就唔好意思隨口批評了), 咁唔通唔使培養子女朝呢個方向做? 幼稚園學生人人有本手冊, 每星期評核學業操行之類, 都唔係次次做到滿分, 唔通唔使做.

而且, 你也太小看孩子, 一般小孩子的心地, 遠比許多成年人好. 我們想保住赤子之心, 你估咁易.

charlene媽媽 , 告訴你...我比較喜歡半日制...因為小朋友放學後仲可以有時間去補習, 做完功課仲可以學1, 2樣野先食晚飯..之後hea下, 玩下電腦, 10點熄燈...咁星期六日就吾洗地獄式課外活動...可以多D家庭活動....

是的，我有教書的朋友也認為小朋友返半日好，佢全日和半日的學校都教過，覺得半日的小朋友精靈d，因為有得玩下同唔使補習補到好夜。中午在學校食完飯，小朋友覺得出面好熱，於是又留係室內，跟住飯氣供心，上堂又開始眼瞓…到有空堂做功課時，有d小朋友又話留番去補習時有姐姐同佢地做…放學補埋習就7點幾至返屋企…d小朋友變得好呆…

Ian, 我有睇開你個Blog 同東方新地, interview嗰日係樓梯都見到你....知道D家長義工好幇手......其實我BB有幾個offer, 但我老公都話聖心出名所以來in ....我地知所以覺得佢特別出名是因為我住附近, 年年都好多人排隊交表, 但到我做咗媽媽, 又報名經驗先知道這長龍是"精心"安排......好多幼稚園都可以郵寄, 就算要親身都有成個月時間.......

當日interview, 我會俾唔合格間學校, 完全無時間觀念, 由入去到出來, 足足一個鐘....... 封晒 D playground, 又無開放課室等小朋友玩玩具同熱身.....

臨走時, 因太多家長係robinson rd 到等, 連警察都嚟.....D街坊一定覺得聖心係呢區最勁, 埸面最懾人!!  

BTW, my daughter answered all questions correctly....

Thank you very much for following my blog and my column articles!

Every year after the application and interview process, this type of discussions or queries would arise.  It is totally up to each individual parents to have their own thinking and feelings.  If you have such a strong sense that it is by intention, so be it.  There are really no points to explain anymore since I think most of the facts are there and it is for parents to have their own judgment.

For your information, the traffic police were being notified in advance.  This is a standard procedure which is required due to the physical location of the kindergarten and its surroundings.  It is just a responsible act, it doesn't have to be how you imagine that was.

Thanks for your sharing.

我真係忍唔住回覆, 係聖心出品既小朋友, 佢地既容忍, 愛心比我們大人還要大, 還要多, 你覺得做出黎咁既場面就做出黎 把口生係人地到, 我無權過講, 亦無權阻止, 你覺得係做出黎就出黎, 我個女係聖心出黎, 我同老公都proud of my daughter, 聖心並唔係單單學術上出名, 佢地教出黎既品格, 先令我最愛, 好榮幸我女可以成為其中一份子。

咁希望in你個女果位老師睇得出你對學校的不滿, 留番個OFFER比真正欣賞SH的人, even though your "daughter answered all questions correctly"

我絕對無冒犯貴學校的意圖, 只是有感而發猜測佢報名同面試安排的目的, 連我住新界的奶奶都因此覺得呢間學校最勁:) 我當然知呢間學校有幾出名, 尤其是我做咗全職媽媽後做多咗research..... 以前只知有個表姐讀名校, 佢媽咪時常show off 佢個女好叻, 後來先知是讀緊聖心, 仲要同我在以前係瑞士銀行個直屬上司係同學.....都係聖心畢業, 佢英文好叻, 不過佢地自己都無俾個女讀聖心, 而讀救恩.....另有兩個同級的同事就只讀佢幼稚園同小學, 中學移民冇讀.....就highly recommend 我個BB去讀, 話D程度勁過出面.....但又有一個同事個女讀緊就 complained D 修女冇愛心(不是我立場) 當日觀察見到一個修女, 幾nice, 好親切......

anyway, 我相信呢間是一間出名的好學校, 見有咁多家長義工同咁多家長在BK去愛戴佢就可知一二........大家都係只係唔多滿意佢面試的安排!!
