We went to WP playgroup and nursery we love it, staffs are caring and friendly. The teaching is quite structured too. Have field trip every month to park, supermarket, star ferry etc. Picnic to beach, 迪欣湖。All trips and transports for trip are free. The downside is the Schoolbus service, is expensive and service not good ( not surprising because the students load is small)

I don't think their classrooms are too small in WP, we were very impressed by the music teacher when we attended the play session and therefore we chose the school. Later on though we changed to the Kowloon tong campus and I love the fact that they are a standalone building with outdoor area. Classrooms are normal size and they are just fine for the little humans especially there are only like 12 of them in our class!

另外，你兩間都讀過，請問除左環境之外，你覺得kln tong同WP嘅學術或老師或staff方面有無分別? 會唔會kln tong好啲? 因為我見大部份人都recommend kln tong，而我又見你都轉左去kln tong。
仲有，因為我曾打過去兩個campus問少少野，WP個staff好似唔係好helpful咁，但kln tong就好nice同主動詳細解釋。其實好小事，我唔係介意，亦可能只係個別事件，之不過令我想問多少少過來人意見。
thx so muchhhhhhh!

They do have an outdoor area in WP but it's part of the complex so it's not exactly part of the school and not exclusive to the school, pretty sure it's a shared area.
We changed to Kln tong before we started school, so I don't exactly know much about WP, one of the reasons why we signed up with WP was because the principal was Australian and my husband (also Aussie) really liked her. We changed to Kln tong because it's closer to home. The WP principal later on resigned before school term started and so the Kln Tong principal also manages the WP campus now, from what I can see they have the same activities around the same dates, (picnic, sports day, excursions) probably partly because of that reason?

I can't say much about the teachers at WP, I just remember them to be very friendly at the play session. At Kln Tong I attended a phonics workshop for the parents( they run it so the parents understand how phonics is being taught at school in different years) and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The teaching styles are very interactive and the teachers are so good at getting our attention!
The kids get to be involved in all sort of activities like lion dances, easter bonnet parades, xmas concerts, singing in front of the crowds, their artwork get to be displayed at an exhibition etc so the kids are certainly taught to be confident.
My son's mother tongue was very much Cantonese , and he never used to participate much in playgroup (at a different school).

IF yes, 雖然係shared area, 但小朋友總叫有戶外環境玩下，都ok 嘅。

雖然是shared area, 但平時很少人，所以學生很多時間在那個playground玩，老師成日同佢地一起在那裏吹波波，真的很開心，已經好過很多只困在商場內的學校。
這麼近你可以join下playgroup看喜不喜歡先，我當年一join就愛上了，之後一直讀到nursery, 也有人不喜歡學校覺得太多free time "吾扺", 所以看自己的要求。
Anfield不是太selective, 我見有一兩個英文不好或行為有少少問題的也收了，但之後都很大改善，但如果你學野快老師也會配合你，當時在nursery老師教counting, 其他人還在學1-10， 老師見我女學得快就教到佢count 到20了。反而我現在在ESF k1, 仍教緊1-10，但我女話自己在校巴巳跟大姐姐學了count 1-100了
所以小朋友在不同地方就學到不同的東西，不一定要spoonfeed的

其實我都覺得要試下先知適唔適合，不過我囡囡而家已喺第二間上緊，亦都幾滿意，所以先想了解清楚先轉，始終anfield係以term計，一報就兩個幾月，唔係一個個月咁計。Anyway，我都打算試下!

Thanks for the detailed sharing indeed!! I am very interested in Anfield too as it seems from my research that all parents have very good comments seems it provides the best english environment to prepare for IS. Just wondering the Chinese level- do the children have some exposure in N class? Also, in terms of the class structure, how much of the time is play and how much on focused teacher teaching? Personally I would like to look for a school that values play - as I believe free play is important for young children to learn. Thanks in advance for your sharing again!

I'd say you don't have to worry, they are playing all the time! They have half hour mandarin everyday, PE lesson and cooking lesson once a week, and not sure how often music lessons are though. They teach basic phonics from pre K/nursery, by the time they leave Anfield according to the principal most of them are at phase 4-6 of phonics which are quite advanced apparently. They don't force the kids to write but encourage them to practise their fine muscles by doing different tasks, they only let the kids start holding pens in K1. They don't just hold up flash cards and teach the kids to repeat after them, they teach things implicitly.

可能你要先了解本地小一的程度。除中文, 數學都應該同本地有差距。
至於discipline, 學校會透過唔同的環境, 例如早會要安靜, 專心, 去洗手間要排隊, 有秩序, 去playground唔好以推撞等等令到小朋友明白唔同環境有唔到規則。

I don't know exactly what they do and how they do to teach the kids to be discipline. Say if something happens in the playground and you or your child makes a complaint, they would generally keep an eye on things. They always have a lot of teachers on the ground during the play time before school. My son was constantly hit by his friend outside of school and we asked the teachers if that happened at schools, the class teachers said no because the kids generally are more well behaved since they know they are at school (which I believe is true). Honestly in terms of discipline the school can only do so much since the kids are only at school 15 hours a week whereas the parents should do really be the main people to teach our kids in this area.

With that said last time I still remember within the first week my son was already telling me to hold the handrail while walking up/down the stairs! Haha Recently I was in the waiting room waiting before we got to meet with our kids for an excursion, they all lined up to go to the toilet via the waiting room, they were all in a straight line and walked slowly to the toilet. Even though my son saw me he was only very excited on his face but did not ran away to come to me! I was so impressed how well trained they are at school.

To be honest, all along I planned to let him go to an IS until we move back to Australia one day. We are now planning to have a second kid though so we think that perhaps it's better we don't spend all our money on IS for two kids haha....I'm really in split mind, we love the look of the AISHK, and looks like he is getting accepted for 2019....so....either we let both kids go to an interactive DSS school, or my son gets better treatment by going to the AISHK and then the second child goes local...hahaha any opinions from you all?

Depends on where you live obvious but generally you expect to pay around $2k-2.4k a month, and they need you to pay by school term.
If you have someone to help you I say it's better you catch a cab and perhaps share the costs with a classmate after you get to know people who live in your area. That's what I have been doing too.

My son has studied both LV and KT campus. Anfield is a very loving kindergarten. Depends what you mean by academics and how you measure it, it's not like local schools where you will get homework and there are no tests or exams. Their phonics is very good though.
作者: sweetbaby13 時間: 17-6-13 12:12
I think Anfield is a not bad school. But then I let my kids join Tutor Time summer program last summer, and surprisingly they love it a lot. So I moved them from Anfield to tutor time. I think both school have great curriculum, but then I found out that my kids are willing to share more and learn faster at TT.
My suggestion is to let your child try the summer program, then you ll know which one works the best.

Yes I agree, it really depends on what the parents want their kids to learn and how they definite "knowledge". Some parents value academic performance, and want their kids to be competitive, some parents are laid back and only want the kids to have fun and learn more about the environment and life around them. Anfield definitely doesn't force the kids and they don't teach handwriting until later in K1, but rather they have different activities to get their fine motor muscles ready for it. They don't need the kids to learn all the alphabets and number until later in K1 either but the kids would be able to read short paragraphs by themselves by K2. So if you are measuring things using the local school rulers then it may not be your cup of tea.

Depends on your kid, like my kid she is interested in numbers, so during nursery class teachers will teach her extra on numbers and counting and I really don’t feel they are laid back in academics. I think they are just doing age and kid appropriate things and they will not hold back if the kid is ready and more receptive.

Actually my daughter also got some complaints/opinions from teachers at the start of term, try to work on it and don’t take on too much hard feelings. At the end my daughter did improve after my effort and teachers reinforced by praising her a lot when she did it right, she got mostly good comments at the end of term.
