初期加入，沒錯是有適應期，但只要積極點，其實她們是沒所謂的。講下功課、扮靚、活動心得，什麼都可以傾一餐，就算初初未能全程參與，但多傾幾次，便漸漸熟，我囡的 local friends 都是這樣識的。這次她回來，說一定會買些小手信給 day school 啲 friends，因為她們知道她 term break 可以返屋企，都好開心！

以我所知, 呢間學校好難入喎, 成績要求好高. 其實我都幫我囡報過, agent 都提過 ...

入學試可在香港考，在港 Skype interview。今年六月仍有九月份的學額，但收生成績有要求，不會濫收。

I agree that if kids go to Year 7 or earlier, it would be easy to make friends closely to local bristish students.  Like my daughter she is now year 10, went to UK boarding school this September.  She told that local students have already had their frienship circle.  My DD goes with HK Students during lunch time, boarding house, or even sports.  UK Students are friendly to my DD during class, I means only in class activities not going out very closely.  There are around 700 students in school, only 16 HK students (no mainlander).  English must be better than in HK in term of Speaking, writing giving her the English environment in class, to lab. for science or doing drama.  


I do not worried about her English so far as long as she will be staying for many years in UK.  If only goes for Unversity, I think she would not be able to enjoy her boarding school life.

My dd is at sixth form and it is her first year in UK. Almost half of the boarders in the sixth form college are Chinese (mainland & HK).

As I have mentioned, it's a matter of attitude. Some of the HK boarders tend to stick to the Chinese. Even DD invited them to join the mix culture groups, they simply declined. I always remind my girl to be open minded. I'm so glad she can do it. And she is happy to know all these foreign friends who are going to face the challenge of entering the universities with her together. This is a precious experience.

I am agreed with you.  I always encourage my DD to be open minded and take opportunity to communicate with their social life.  I think it would improve later as this is their first year.  They can make friends with local as my husband also said it needs to take time.

Sending them to UK is not only for English, but also to observe and learn real life, to enrich one's experience.

留學不單只為一張成績表，不單只為學好英語，在國際學校中認識不同人，文化及言語，廣闊視野，，，，

講真, 而家過去讀的是 Y12 的話, 真係唔係咁易融入本地學生的, 佢地係好自然地就會分開左坐,
唔好話你女 ...

This is common. My children play with more Asian in school, but they speak in English. They watch local TV and films without any problem. Certainly, you cannot expect that their English would be as good as locals if you still want them to speak in Cantonese.
