有冇用家可以分享下？見這所小學好像比較少人提及，我女兒已面試了多間LS小學，不是waiting list 就是rejected, 只有兩所小學取録，但不是我們杯茶。

好仔細分拆過LS and IS 的 pros and cons, 我自己在traditional 名校畢業，我唔buy transitional 這一套，好想女兒入讀IS, 但老公又覺得local 有 local 好，簡直係人生交叉點。

我們考慮ESF schools 原因，因為學費雙對地比其他IS 可以effort 到，research 才知道ESF 分不同區域，要事乎住所location, 所以只有KJS我們才可以apply.

想知道多D關於KJS 嘅資料，例如收生，什麼人比較多，本地或外國，升中會在什麼學校，老師有沒有愛心，工課，學術，家長參與及小朋友喜歡這學校嗎？

感謝分享

Have you applied already? Are you talking about Year 1 entry? If you have missed the deadline you will automatically be put on a waiting list.

I am sure the regular application period for year 1entry has alreqdy passed. And esf will send out invitation for interview nextweek. you will be placed at the end of the list for if you turb in applicatiom now, hence chances to get an intervuew is very low. Why dont you try in year 2, 3.

I think you are talking about year 2 admission, right?

KJS is one of the most competitive primary among ESF. This zone is broad and populated with Indian students, esp in Kowloon Tong.

School is great with new campus. Very impressive!

作者: Evawong08011 時間: 15-11-17 11:21 標題: 回覆：Radiomama 的帖子

Yes I believe the campus is the most beautiful and equipped one among other primary ESFs. Some classes have over half of the students are Indian. And the students most probably will be upgraded to KGV in grade 7.

Should be a good school, BTW ESF has lost government subsidy so the fees will be going up in the future, and which kinder are your kid studying in now? One needs to achieve fairly good english levels on order to to pass the interview.

Yes, my b is k3 now in local kinder now so will apply for year 2 for year 2016-2017

作者: NaraDeer 時間: 15-11-17 14:33 標題: 回覆：Radiomama 的帖子

Yes, apply for year 2 in 2016-2017 academic year

作者: NaraDeer 時間: 15-11-17 14:34 標題: 回覆：Evawong08011 的帖子

So most of the students are Indian families?

Is the academic good? What about the teacher?

Are your kids study in this sch? Please share more, many thanks.

作者: NaraDeer 時間: 15-11-17 14:39 標題: 回覆：964000 的帖子

Yes, I checked that too, but still relatively cheaper then many IS.

My b is now studying in traditional well known kinder in kowloon tong. I think her English is slightly over average but I won't say is fluent as native.

If u are not planning to buy the nomination right plus your kids don't have priority, I don't think your kids have chance for interview. With 200+ waiting list, you have to wait for many years...

Around 50% of the class are Indians.

不如我答你，我小朋友讀緊year 5.
首先，70%學生有外國護照，印度學生佔多過50%，佢地好多已經係第二，三代住香港（佢地父母之前都係讀ESF). 其如有日本，韓國，英國....
升中跟catchment zone, 一係去KGV, 一係去island school (2017年會拆，原址重建，之後就係好似KJS 甘，又大又靚）
至於教學，好老實如果你想好似LS 甘，就一定好失望，因真係好少好少功課，有時一份project , 一星期後交。普通話亦比較弱，學簡體字。小朋友日日放學後真係可以不停玩。
老師大部分都有愛心，同小朋友打成一片，所以有家長會覺得老師唔夠嚴/惡。
家長都好清楚學校教咩！小朋友普遍都愛閲讀，比較獨立，會自己上網搵資料做功課，有點有注意，比較多後生嘅女老師，所以成日都會聽到某班主任放產假。

My son is in Year 2. 1/3 of class is Indian, 1/3 chinese and 1/3 Japan, Korea, western. He has mandarin class daily, 45mins per lesson, simplified Chinese, using Singapore grade 1 textbook, chinese writing is required in class, also dictation of words in textbook ( parents wouldn't know the time, just my son told me after that), also a free writing handbook, they can write whatever they like and hand in whenever they want. They also have a reading book daily and required to write comment.
Teachers are nice and able to spot the needs of kid, academic-wise, I feel it is higher than I expected, I see my son and his classmate would raise their hands before talking which impressed me.
So far, my son likes his school very much.

Thanks for your kind sharing.

So will you plan to send your boy overseas later or will stay in HK for university? May I ask why u choose KJS? And have they meet your expectation? Does parents need to involve a lot when kids are assigned to go projects/coursework?

My son finished ESF k1 and k2, then goes KJS according to catchment zone

作者: estherscwong 時間: 15-11-19 09:58

My girl is now studying at year 1 kjs. She loves to go to school everyday. She is not happy when it is holiday but there are lot of school holidays. She has chinese class only 3 times a week but she is able to tell me what she has learnt and sometimes sings the mandarin song. The chinese words that they are learning are very simple, like 1-10. There are lots of art work during the class. She always bring back her art work home. At this stage, the only homework she need to do is "home reader". Everyday, school will give her a book at her level to home for reading. Parents need to help her to read until she can read it by her herself fluently before exchanging another one.

When my girl was in year 3 in KJS, there were 25 indians in her class and only five were from Korean, Jap, Hong Kong etc.

No. Just happens there are more Indians living in that catchment area.

Yes, every child will have a initial assessment on their literacy in the beginning of the year. Some of them may be smarter and some of them may not be able to read by themselves, like my girl. She will start from level one, day by day until she can be read by herself one day.

I think it's more to do with catchment and sibling priority.
Previously priority was based on cat 1 cat 2 this gives an obvious advantage to Indians when most of them can't speak Cantonese. Now although this priority system is replaced most of them still get priority based on siblings.

作者: stevejobs 時間: 15-11-24 15:34

i did not see that many Indian parents' face at the parent briefing this year. the percentage various.

作者: AJW2010 時間: 15-11-24 23:33 標題: 回覆：Kowloon Junior School

My child in Year 1 told me than she only has 5 Indian in her class. she said Hong Kong children are the majority.
I believe she must have mis-counted somehow, but it should not be too far off.

作者: nintendo 時間: 15-11-25 09:59

According to a friend who has 2 children in KJS now (one Year 3 one Year 5), it varies from class to class. The majority of students are still Chinese. That is over 50% are Chinese. Then may be 40% Indians. Then 10% other ethnic. I guess the class that have 25 indians is just an exception.
In any case, is that a concern to parents? If it is, then may be ESF or international schools in general is not for you.

My kid is in year 3, it is still difficult for him to identify Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean etc in his class. It is mainly because they all speak in English. He even don't know who can speak Cantonese in his class. Parents seems concerning about the allocation of the ethnicity in school, but for kids, they don't care about it.

That is true. They play with everyone. We don't normally talk about ethnic differences. However, the school just had a Diwali assembly, so my child talked about the Indians in her class.
