St. Cat vs. Keen Mind

chris1874

比 d 意見呀! thanks!

妳小朋友是男或是女呢？人家說若小朋友是男，入Keen Mind會好些，不然，入St. Cat會好些。不過，Keen Mind真的好似是男仔學校，大大部分是男仔。

是男仔, 但我問過有些朋友他們都未聽過 keenmind, 反而 st cat 就好多人識, 還說好出名!

Keen mind得幾年歷史, SC則有幾十年歷史, 名氣一定係SC大啦!我識一個SC(Essex 校舍)家長, 佢都話唔識KM, 但根本SC 同KM只不過係對面街,

不過論口碑,KM都真是不錯的! 舊年我仔讀KMN1, 有些同學仔有SC offer 都留係KMK1. 以前KM真的好似是男校, 但現在真的多了女仔入讀

知名度︰SC >KM
班數︰SC>KM
校舍︰SC>KM (只計面積，未計平均每個學生可用空間)
歷史︰SC>KM
之前我亦有替我的女兒報SC，但最後我仍是選擇了KM，她現在已K2了，我選KM的最大原因是這裡的老師很有愛心(但並不表示她們不管教學生)。未入K1前，我的女兒每次獨自返Playgroup都會哭，但她上k1時，一次也沒有哭，因為她有一位很愛她的老師，令她即使在陌生環境中也很有安全感。我亦很慶幸我替她選了KM。

yes, there are many interest classes on Saturdays.  e.g. choir, dancing, phonics, handicrafts, etc. Of course, they are not free. My son only joins the school choir, $1000 for 10 lessons. For the other  classes, about $120- $150 per lesson

哈哈! 原來仲有父母係15,16! 所以早前有d媽媽問km係咪好易入,點解仲有位都係e個原因!!
我仔仔都係SC,KM都收咗, 我都係放棄SC而簡KM, 我完全同意marina_ay 所講, 老師有冇愛心好緊要,由我仔仔 IN 果日開始E問學校比我既感覺/同埋仔仔佢自已既反應都比到我對學校好有信心, 我仔仔讀上午班但係我又心大心細,想佢讀英普班,但係要下午先有, 於是我就打比學校諗住睇吓佢地幫唔幫到我, 點知佢地真係好認真同我傾,雖然我地只係用電話問但係佢地揾咗有關既老師同我地解釋各方既意見, 我地感到學校係真係想對小朋友的關懷!!
如果講名氣/歷史,km 當然唔及sc 呢!但咁又代表d乜呢?
最緊要係小朋友讀得開心!
我諗係bk 既媽咪比得既都比架啦,當中一定有d好有d唔好,你可以聽得幾多呢, 每個小朋友既特質都唔同, 最緊要係你自已點睇e間學校!

HI BIGBIG HEI,
我亦明白KEENMIND的特質才會報考. 余下來便是考慮車程的問題, 因本人住沙田區, 而KEENMIND又不太近火車站. 我又不想囡囡太細搭校車及校車方面亦未確定會否到我家處. 請問知否有無校車可連同照顧者一同接蛓.

My son is in K1. I discover that he knows many English words and phrases. He is willing to speak in English though his English is not good at all. I think my kid has cultivated his interest in learning English. I don't know any parents of K3, so I cannot tell you any details about the actual standard.

I think the strength of KM is that they do emphasize on CHinese, English and Maths at the same time. They don't focus on only one subject (e.g. English).

TszYingMama,

he! he!
我都有同樣問題!　我住火炭,宜家等緊校車方面有咩消息，佢地話7月到會有校車資料再比我地!，如果唔啱,最差既咪要自己車佢返學囉! 但係我就想佢試吓搭校......! 睇吓到時再算啦!

TszYingMama

Hi BigBigHei,
但可惜我係在職媽媽, 不方便帶囡囡返學.  如有什麼有關資料, 大家keep update啦．

My son joined KM in K2, after 1/2 years school life, the school standard is under my expectation. I think this really depends on teachers, i chat with some parents and they said K1 teachers are better than K2. The class teacher is good but overall is not meet my requirements. For the English, i don't see much improvement for my son, the English teacher is not that good. The only good thing is my son learn more new words under heavy homework daily, not sure if this is good or bad for a 4 yrs old boy. Anyway, my son still enjoy his school life in KM, but i am still thinking if this is worth to travel 1 hour from home to school and higher school fees. I am still thinking move back to previous K1 kinder.

在開學的頭幾天，是可以有一位大人陪同小朋友一起搭校車的，我亦有見過有些N1的祖母陪小朋友搭咗個多星期，但我唸只是最初的適應期，不能一整年也陪伴。至於校車能不能到妳家處，妳大可以問一問校車商，沙田區不是什麼偏遠地區，我相信是有校車會到的，問題只是是否在妳家樓下。

hi sftw,

Is your son studying on international class?

TszYingMama,

我都係在職媽媽所以先頭痛, 如果我要送佢返學校既話,工作上就要有d唔同既安排啦! 當然係校車係最好啦!
