Whether CIE is tougher than Edexcel may be a matter of personal perception.

What everyone will get the same answer is that e.g. English Language, English Literature, Economics, Geography, History, PRS, etc. in Shatin College follow the Edexcel curriculum, while e.g. Geography and History in Kellett follow CIE.

I really want my child to get into this school.

There are 5 classes of reception(22 children/class), 2 in Kowloon bay and 3 in pokfulam. You're #80+ on the waiting list, it means your chance is high. Probably you may receive email again in the coming November/December for the school report and reference letter. For the reference, you may ask the existing class teacher to write for you.

How many reference letters do they usually required? Beside teachers who else can/should write it? Will there be any interview? My daughter is naturally quiet and shy and needs a lot of time to warm up which is quite a disadvantage for school interview becos she have great feedback from teachers and peers when they know her.

開了學兩個月, 你們對學校滿意嗎? 老師及家長有善嗎?

個人而言，我們對學校很滿意！兒子一直每天只是上3hrs幼稚園，開學前很擔心轉新校又要返全日，4歳的他是否能適應？很意外，短短一星期他已完全適應。原本連自理能力也很一般，但現在家人朋友們都說他大有進步，長大了也乖巧聽話很多。
我是自己接送返放學，所以也容易接觸到老師，感覺老師們也不錯。兒子在家有開心或不開心事也常說要告訴老師，我想老師與學生關係也應該頗好吧！
每班有兩位義工家長作為老師與家長的橋樑，他們會電郵提醒家長，學生們將會有什麼活動？要準備什麼？又會安排一些家長聚會，讓家長們可以互相認識，如果你願意岀席的話，認識幾個家長朋友應該没有問題的。

相信同原校寫既 reference letter有關，弟弟今年入reception，學校無要求interview，但有classmates話他們有interview。
有老師表示，如果原校對小朋友既英語能力有清晰和正面評價就未必需要interview。

你好，當年幫小朋友報名時，一個係兩歲四個月，一個係四個月，大嗰個一直wait唔到，細嗰個就wait到reception入，後來係細佬先入，家姐因為sibling priority所以跟住都收咗。
兩個小朋友係返bilingual 幼稚園，讀local幼稚園都冇乜大問題，有位都應該要interview，英文對答良好就ok :)

作者: Koala0000 時間: 17-6-12 22:58

歲半先開始申請基本無機會在Reception入，建議你好似樓上咁即刻幫個細既入紙申請Reception，等個細既入左先然後大個個靠sibling priority插班入。我個大既三個月大就申請，waitlist度都排到200幾，薄扶林三班收66個九龍灣兩班收44個得個110個位，排200幾既人除開有其他offer唔繼續排或無要offer既人，我200幾就剛剛好入到（我知道我個大既係差唔多最後一個入係因為成6月先收到offer），你歲半先入紙申請基本無機會在Reception入。

至於幼稚園，我個大既K1同K2讀全廣東話學券幼稚園但放學後有上英文課同我在屋企有同佢講英文，都入到，所以妳應該唔使擔心，小朋友一有語境就學得好快既。

請問你是有外國護照嗎? 想知如果無護照就算早申請機會是否都仍會較細?

是，有外國護照。不過國際學校可以收一部分香港人。我報名時只是提交小朋友香港出世紙副本，無提交外國護照副本。註冊當日所見，得五六個亞洲人面孔（已經包括埋南亞裔），可能本來香港人申請既唔多（唔知點解呢？）。

哦原來系咁。不過讀得國際學校都唔會對中文程度有咩期望咯，都系打算靠自己外補架喇。

Wondering if your little ones have started in Kellet reception or not? Just wondering if you have any comments on the school. Seems asians would be the minority but I guess it should not be an issue.

Yes very few Asians. In a class of 22 there are only 2 Chinese and by this I mean 華人 not mainlanders. So local HKers are included. You will mainly be working with British/Australian/American families in school events but since both my husband and I studied abroad since teenage years, we have no problem with this. Kids love the school.
As many forum contributors have already rightly pointed out, the only set back is that Chinese is minimal here. So we have hired a private tutor to supplement the Chinese curriculum. Since both of my kids attended local kindergarten and already started writing Chinese characters (no kidding, they are difficult!! K2 is writing 雷電 and 媽媽 and 飛鳥!! ) before starting at Kellett, so far their Chinese seem to be fine. But again, perhaps my expectation is not that high to begin with.

Thanks for your comments! Yes seldom see Chinese faces indeed when I browse through their website/fb. In fact, am
not really concerned with mingling with expats (as I have been working alongside many of them anyway)- just not sure if being the minority will be sort of discriminated against. Hahah perhaps I am thinking too much. Wow it's really incredible that K2 students need to write such complicated characters!!! Btw did your little one need to go through an interview to get into Kellet? If going to a local kindy (perhaps like Victoria or think), would it be sufficient to go through the interview?

作者: Koala0000 時間: 17-6-15 11:13

No they didn't have to go through an interview. Perhaps it's because I got my kids' after school English coaching centre to also fill in a reference form so they got comfortable with my kids' English? Regarding discrimination, haven't heard any complaint from my kids but given their age I doubt they know what it is yet. No complaint of being bullied or ostracised. At the parent level, to be very honest with you, I think it's very similar to what you see in your work place if you also work with expats. Some have lived in HK for many years and never bother to venture out of the HK Island further than TST. And some may have yum cha with their family every week and are able to use chopsticks like a native HKer and eager to learn some Cantonese. Most parents are genuinely nice to you but in very rare occasions I do encounter parents who talk to you when they have to but you can see the distain in their face. Fine by me. I will just stay away from them. I will not and there is no need for me to please them.

Thanks indeed for your honest comments. Very useful to get a peek into what it may be like joining kellet! What you said is indeed Very similar to my experience with expats in HK (some of them really don't venture outside HK island while some are very localised). Good to know that most parents are nice. Re the curriculum, is reception activity based and how's the discipline of the children? Many thanks again for any insights/comments!

Actually how do u know your ranking in the waiting list? I put in application for 2019 reception when my kid was about 7 months old. I hope I have the chance to get in.

Regarding discipline, I would say it is stricter than schools following the US curriculum (I don't have first hand experience as a parent of a US-style school and I'm only speaking from what I saw in school visits) but not as strict as a local school (obviously!). Most students are very well behaved. For the curriculum, it is play based for the lower preparatory years and no homework until P2 (if a few worksheets can be called homework).

You can call/email admission to find out but your position on the list will fluctuate, as there may be people who apply later than you but may occupy a position higher than yours if they have corporate debenture/sibling priority etc.

Thanks for the sharing again! Good to know. I quite like Kellet personally - just finger crossed to see if we may stand a chance when my boy reaches 4. We applied when he's 2 to 3 months old. Anyway we are now facing a more imminent problem of securing a kindy first. Still not sure if we shoudl put him in an English one (like anfield) or bilingual ones like Kingston/Vic.

Really? Do you know if your source is reliable? Just been told that Kellet is indeed very British - hence easier to adapt to U.K. Schools if I send my little one to boarding school when he has reached year 9 or 10. Academically would it be stronger than esf? Seems it is not academically strong as CIS or GSIS I guess.
