因為住我附近都有一媽媽話考第四次...

If she likes Singaporean education so much, it is probably easier for the family to emigrate to Singapore {:1_1:}

Have you guys ever considered that there is a different between a Singapore school following international curriculcum in Hong Kong with "local" Schools in Singapore which must follow Singapore curriculum?

Of coz there are differences between the two.  Even local schools in Singapore itself have different standards, just like the schools in HK.  Having said that, all including SIS follows the same curriculum.  Apart from language environment that SIS creates for their student, I do believe that peer influence might be another good reason why the HK students in SIS speak either in English or PTH, since more than 50% of their classmates are Singaporeans.

Oh i think i can share some. My friend told me that her gal 's classmate SIS went back to singpore to take a public exam, from which they will be allocated a seat from centralised dept according to their performance. Then they can pay  school fee to reserve seat while xpat may go back anytime. Her classmate got a seat from a rank .1 school there. Her mom paid and reserve already, and comment that she didnt expect the standard in SIS can be thst level ! Therefire i think this tell somethings ?

Sorry, I don't quite get you.  Do you mean the standard of SIS is comparable to the top schools in Singapore?  Do you mind sharing which local school was the gal allocated to?

考兩小時？！我覺得SIS 學術要求很高，學生要精挑細選。 雖然不是LS， 我想不夠smart 的話入得去讀都不輕鬆。

面談和游戲部份是eng and pth. 小孩子如果不是本身懂運用兩語言，反應肯定有點難度。好像有些家長原以為去學過pth朗誦班參加過朗誦便行。。。。這可能不是這回事。

Yes and no. It is true that the subjects content of SISHK's P1 to S2 level follow Singapore education curriculum. However, there is no Gifted Education Programme (GEP) and the students have no need to take part in  PSLE (which may be the most controversial and condemned part of Singapore education system). The students can have through train education from PY to DP2. There is no streaming at all.

In the secondary curriculum talk on 7 Dec. The Principal said the aim of SIS education is to get the students into university. SIS chose IB, in contrast to 'local' schools in Singapore which mostly have GCE 'A' as pre-U Level,  because it is the most accepted curriculum worldwide. Moreover, some students may go back to Singapore or other country for senior secondary education, IGCSE is chosen in S3-S4 as an interrim as it can provide more flexibilty.

An ex-Principal of SIS said SISHK is unique as it aim to provide international education as well as cater for the need of Singapore students to have smooth transition if they go back to their home country for further education. You can't find another school like SISHK in Singapore or Hong Kong.

So, if one like the Singaporean education so much (which I think is not the reason for those apply to SISHK again and again), studying in SISHK will not suitable for them.

Guess it's not diff for Singaporean. Hk kids may need to train up. But they take in all Singaporeans I was told. Without much selection the kids still got superb in results!

今年這屇 考大學 應比上一年更好

第一年俾Predicted grade 好緊

好多都讀得好開心(除了IB 最後2年)

好少人走, 成班由細玩到大咁濟!!!

成間學校得一個鬼仔讀igcse !

運動方面, 也不錯

我反宜是覺得, 心理質素上, 佢地給自己太大壓力

讀讀下IB ,老師幫佢地訂練習

此類動作,只在LOCAL SCHOOL 會有

國際學校一般不會出現

I guess this is related to my comment about emigrating to Singapore might make things easier? {:1_1:}

Sure enough, if the "authentic taste" Singaporean education is what one wants, emigrating to Singapore would be an obvious move, but even if one is only after the "special flavour" version offered by SIS in Hongkong, emigrating (and then returning) would still help by becoming a Singapore PR and thus will have some admission priority to SIS.

Thanks for your information!  I always misunderstood IB Diploma Programme is only offered at post-secondary stage of SIS.  My gut feel tells me that most people in HK simply adore SIS, not entirely about the Singaporean education.

RE: Minirat.  You have not misunderstood. 2-year IB is only after S.4... not at an earlier stage.   You are right we prefer SIS/HK => not necessarily mean we like Singapore education at Singapore in general.

I suspect it is more than that.  Chinese curriculum is another one I think. Kids in SIS spend half of the time using English and the other half using Chinese?  How do they compare, language wise to say ISF, traditional IS, or traditional local schools.  There are a number of IS or IB schools having very similar results or better.  Local elite schools do even better. One has to examine the reasons for choosing an IS in the first place, which is normally more than just exam results.

I believe getting a Singaporean passport is not as easy now compared to in the 90s.  And emigrating itself is a complicated process to me, especially when it involves the whole family.

I see, thanks for the clarification!  From my perspective as a Singaporean, I do share your views that SIS and Singapore local schools are different indeed, even though I don't deny that one of the reasons why I want to enroll my boy in SIS is a smooth transition in case we relocate back to Singapore one day, but this is definitely not the only reason.  There are sentimental reasons and other considerations as well.

應該係好多人走（小學四至六班，IB得一至二班），不過都好少人插班入。所以成班由細玩到大咁濟。
