I have just made the registration for PN at Victoria Harbour Green (today is the deadline). My daugther got the offer from LH and VIC (both am class) and it is really rough for me to make the decision as both schools are good. I finally chose VIC and gave up LH offer because of the following reasons:-
1. Location: As I am living at Olympian 2, the logistic to go to VIC is much easier than to LH. As I am a working mom and my maid will pick up my girl after school (I will bring her to school before work), safety is my concern. All the way from my home to VIC is almost under cover. Even if it rains, it is still OK.
2. Campus. I like the campus of VIC more than LH. It is newer, cleaner, nicer, warmer and bigger (this is just my feeling and I know other ppl may have different feeling and they may like LH's campus more - p.s. LH has outdoor playgroup but VIC does not have)
3. PG Class - VIC provides PG Class (but my girl did not attend). I think VIC teachers would be more experienced to take care of the toddlers at young age. I think safety and caring is important for the PN students as they are still very young.
4. Teachers and Students Ratio. I searched the information from the website and talked to the moms who have kids at VIC and LH. I found the teachers and students ratio for VIC is slightly lower than LH
5. Experience of Teachers. Again I searched from the website, the number of teachers who have more then 7 years experience in VIC is greater than LH.
6. AM OR PM CLASS. Even if you got the AM offer from LH for PN class, it is no guaranteed that you can go for AM class at K1. (this is just my preference that I refer AM class, for some other parents, it may not be a concern) P.S. But all the K3 class in VIC will be at PM but the parents can choose for their whole day class too.
7. Primary 1 Placement Result - I think that their result is similar (just my opinion) but it is really difficult to tell as we really don't know what is the priority/target of the choices of parents. What I am trying to say is if the placement result is just so-so (accordingly to most of the ppl standard), but if all the schools are already the no. 1 choice of their parents, I think the result is already very good. Vice Versa, if alot of parents could not get into the schools they like and think suitable for their kids, even if the kids can go to well known schools (maybe it is their choice no. 4 or 5), I don't think that the placement result of this kindergarden is good. So we cannot just compare the placement reult without knowing all the detailed information.
8. IB - I also got the impression before that the graduates from IB schools will be more suitable to go to International primary schools. After taking to a pimary school teacher (a famous traditional local school), I think my impression is wrong. The teacher said it is too early to tell whether local or international at this age and she also think that graduates from IB kindergardens can go for both international and local schools. It really depends on parents. Even for the local schools, they can do well. This is just too much worry from the parents. |
