St.catherine K2 開始已沒有外籍老師了!! (聽說, 請查詢!)

兩間都唔係國際學校，係這國際學校TOPIC會較少人回應，費事答錯！去番談幼稚園，會好些。

There are foreign teachers in SC but not one foreign teacher for one class. I mean one foreign teacher is responsible for few classes and the class teacher is local teacher.

Someone told me that the NET will not stay in the class whole time started from K2 in SC. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I personally talked to the head of NETs in St Cat at the registration date. She assured me that there will be a NET with each class of students EVERY DAY, ALL THREE YEARS.

Yet, the class may be divided into two groups and  each group will be taken care of by either the Chinese or the English teacher, depends on the activities they are having. And since St Cat has so many classrooms, one of the groups may need to go to another room for activity with the Chinese teacher only. When that activity is done, they will go back to the NET and swap with the other group.

My kid hasn't started studying there yet, so the best you may do is to go to St Cat chat room and ask parents there directly.

In St. Catherine's, there are two class teachers for each k1 class, one is local chinese and the other is NET (may be an American born chinese). The NET of K! does not stay with the class all the time. The NET needs to teach upper classes too.

For k2 and k3 classes, there is only 1 local chinese to be the class teacher.
