Hi I'm new to this forum, and very excited to see all these parents who are very knowledgeable about the schools. My son is 3.5 years old and we're trying to decide between SIS vs. Yew Chung right now since these are the two schools that he got into. Still waiting to hear back from CIS and HKIS but I think the chances there are very low since we don't have corporate debentures.
Would love to hear what you think of the two schools, and especially if you have knowledge of both schools, to compare them. Thanks!

Do you guys think it's differences are big enough to worth moving from the Kowloon side to the HK side? SIS' schedule is a bit strange, they start PY1 classes at 11:50am in the morning. If we stay on the Kowloon side, my son would need to eat lunch at 10am and then the bus will pick him up at 10:50am. It's a long ride for a 4 year old to be...

My girl has a lot of classmates living in Kowloon side and they are having lunch at 10 or 10:30, then take the school bus to school.

I live on the HK side. Still, my son used to have his 'brunch' (in fact, a full meal of rice, vegetables & meat) at around 10am, then a light snack at 4.00pm after school. Dinner was with the family at around 7.30pm. It worked out quite well and you'll be surprised how easily the child adapts to new schedules.

However, vincinity is a concern which you must give serious consideration because of its long-term impact. From PY2 onwards, school starts at 8.10am. Some children from Kowloon have to catch the bus as early as 6.30/6.45am! ... It pays to talk with Kwoon Chung to get an idea about the Kowloon & HK (your desired district) pickup/drop-off schedules. Bearin mind certain areas in HK has to cope with super-early pickups too, so it may not be worthwhile for you to move across the harbour afterall.
