作者: 豬爸爸 時間: 08-1-30 11:48 標題: RC收左我個女,唔知讀唔讀好,請比意見.

報個時,諗住比個女試下,諗住機會好微,點知比個傻妹得左

.本來諗住照交留位費先,點知好貴,$12800

.我嘅考慮點/疑問如下:

1) $, 唔知佢以後d學費加得勁唔勁.如果年年都加,我都唔知頂唔頂得住.仲有,我須唔須要預$比佢讀課外活動呢?
2) 紀律問題.好驚佢學壞.
3) 中文程度:我知佢有普通話,但唔知佢書寫能力得唔得
4) 我還可以參加小一自行派位,私校,直資和大抽獎嗎?
5) 我仲有個細B,我當然希望兩個讀埋同一間,唔知家姐帶埋個妹入嘅機會高唔高呢?

我的女兒亦被取錄，但最近從外籍朋友口中聽到RC家長對RC的批評，說RC的學生課堂以外，常以廣東話交談。英文程度被質疑。

我的女兒現在於康樂園國際學校就讀RECEPTION，該校的師資,教學方式及熱誠，近年獲得很高的評價，據我一位SJS家長朋友表示，SJS及RC近年亦錄取了HLYIS很多學生，HLYIS唯一缺點是該校只有幼稚園和小學，沒有附設中學部。事實上我的女兒每天上課也很開心，加上由於該校收取的學生多是外籍人士，所以該校的英語水平很好，如今RC取錄，我不知怎樣抉擇，請教RC家長給予寶貴意見！

照你咁諗, 你應該比你女兒讀HLYIS小學, 中學開始就去外國讀.

其實學生喺課堂以外講廣東話好平常, 情況亦可接受. 呢度係香港, 你地嘅親戚朋友亦都會有人講廣東話, 香港人生活喺香港而唔識廣東話亦都好奇怪

同輸蝕. 除非你打算只讓你女兒一定要同識英文嘅人做朋友及或將來只會在外國生活. 縱使如此, 識多一種方言/語言, 始終有好處的.

我囡囡而家讀緊k1, 喺學校一定全英語溝通. 其他時候, 我地同佢講英文, 佢就講英文; 同佢講廣東話, 佢就講廣東話

Hello Mrose,

I am sorry I have to type in English because my Chinese typing speed is extremely slow due to lack of practics. Anyway, I am very glad to know you are one of the HLYIS parent. I always want to share more with HLYIS parent because I am a new one. I have girls now attending the pre-nursery class and to be honest I am not sure if this is a good choice for me because I don't know this school very well apart from getting to know them from their websit. Well I do also have some comment from a freind of mind who is now teaching in ESF and she told me that HLYIS should be my 1st choice. Can you tell me why don't you want to let your kid to stay in HLYIS instead of applying RC? Besides, I know HLYIS also offers up to year 9 education already. Seems they are approaching to extend to secondary education. Of course their school fee is higher than ESF especially for Primary School. This could be one of the consideration for many parents. Let's share more and if you want pls PM me. Thanks a lot.

因為EFS歷史悠久，如果小朋友要選擇讀國際學校，EFS應該有保證吧，其實我也只是從一些SJS家長朋友口中聽取意見，直至RC近年成立，因為他們打正旗號不會忽視中文教學而得到不少香港家長推崇，加上他們的校社設施一流，真的很有吸引力。
至於HLYIS,我的女兒自從轉讀後，她每天上學或放學也是一張快樂的笑臉，而且因為學校鼓吹閱讀風氣，我女兒越來越對閱讀產生興趣，又常常自發性讀故事書。
我是在職婦女，每天也是賓賓送女兒上學，我賓賓告訴我，HLYIS的老師很友善很關愛學生，他們每早看見小朋友上學時，就好像老友般打招呼互相問好，在我賓賓面前如是，不會像某些老師交戲。

還友，我女兒考RC，另一重要原因是RC附設中學，HLYIS只能讀到YEAR 9，RC省卻將來找中學的煩惱，加上我相信小朋友趁細細個轉換環境比較好，上小學正好是一個階段。
但我可以肯定告訴你，你放心讓小朋友在HLYIS完成幼兒班，直至小朋友考小學才傷腦筋吧，如果你一心讓小朋友繼續讀IS，她將來小學面試應該不愁沒有IS收。你的小朋友讀HLYIS,我估計你應該是HLY的居民吧。

Hi Mrose,

I am also a working Mum. My girls only started with HYLIS at the beginning of this month and so far so good. When did you kid (girl or boy?) start in HYLIS? Was he/she still speak Chinese with you? Will you definitely give up HYLIS for other internation school? I was told by the principle when we met her the first time that the Chinese language level in HYLIS is only 1 year behind local school while the Putonghua oral ability is even higer than local school. So I think you do not need to worry about your kid's Chinese ability if they stay in HYLIS. On the contrary, if you are going to change to ESF, then you might need to worry.

As far as the teachers concern, I agree with you that they seems are very caring teachers. They almost write to me and tell me my daugthers' situation in the school in the handbook everyday. I think they do really care of them. Besides, the school bus mum and the driver are also very good. My girls enjoy very much the journey home everyday in the school bus. BTW, do you live in Taipo?

作者: VVMUM 時間: 08-1-31 16:21

Mrose, btw I don't live in HLY, I live in YL.

如果你真的英文質素重要些，那麼ＳＪＳ好過ＲＣ，而我有同教ＥＳＦ家長及老師談有開中文水平，水平一定比傳統學校低好幾年，所以有長有短！！！
ＨＹＬＩＳ雖然是好學校，但ＹＲ　９要選學校就煩惱些；如我喜歡學校小人的話，而又近住所可以想想

ＥＳＦ國際評價會高些，但ＥＳＦ家長評價有好有不好，所以重要最後要自己選啦！

想中文及英文都兼備, 但係又唔想課餘時間講廣東話, 會唔會好矛盾呢

呢啲係唔可以避免, 就算送個小朋友去外國讀書, 有中國人嘅地方, 只要佢哋識講廣東話, 都會用廣東話溝通, 我啲兄弟,堂細佬妺都喺係外國讀書, 課餘時間講廣東話呢啲情况經常有, 除非當中有人係唔識廣東話, 就會用英文.

若果你覺得呢點係一個好重要嘅問題, 咁你真係要考慮清楚比唔比你囡囡讀RC.

Dear Mrose
Which year of entry you are referring to? I've been told the “SJS” secondary school entry (year7) is very difficult!

My friend has a girl been invited to sit the exam and passed, but no vacancy.

RC的YEAR 1，我沒有想得那麼長遠，只想女兒入讀一間她喜歡的學校，在沒有太大壓力下順利完成小學中學階段，至於將來我有能力而她又有想繼續讀大學，我就送她出國，她無心向學就出社會做事，也不敢太大期望，因為自問沒有花太多時間去貼身栽培她，我知道有很多媽咪真的很勁，將所有時間都為兒女籌謀。

MacusD,

忘了告訴你，最近認識了一位自稱是早年在SJS完成中學課程，及後到加拿大讀大學的奇怪男孩，他沒有上進心但滿腦子也是識女仔結婚生仔的思想，連說話也慢三拍。在此澄清我不是想質疑SJS的學生。我想應該不是學校的教育問題，是與家庭的養育問題有關。

我就覺得, 一間好嘅學校, 唔係在乎佢用咩語言, 有幾多外國人同學仔, 而係佢嘅教學理念, 同小朋友開唔開心. 如果佢係間學校, 同d同學溝通唔到, 唔明老師講乜, 咁返嚟做咩

mrose,
I do not see what your point is.
Your child is with HLYIS and I am glad you are happy.
I do not see why you cannot admit that OTHER SCHOOLS can also be good schools. On the other hand, I am sure there are unhappy parents or poor students in almost all schools.
You must have your reasons of choosing HLYIS. I am sure you have made the right choice. If you have decided to stick to HLYIS, good. I am happy for you.
Have a nice holiday.

Sorry. I should have attended to your queries first.

(1) It is really hard to tell. But let's presume that they would increase the fees every year according to inflation. Better be prepared right?
(2) I think this discipline issue has been raised before, not only about RC but international schools in general. There are obvious reasons why international schools have always been picked on unreasonably. If you really look around and read more from local newspapers, you would probably worry as much (if not more) if you put your kid in a local school.
(3) There are Chinese classes at RC. Children would not 唔識中文. There are parents that are very keen and they put in extra time with Chinese (eg. after school Chinese classes) and those children are usually quite OK. There are also parents that do not really care and those children are mostly not as good. The top ones, they are learning from text book one year behind local schools. For example, the Year 6s (equivalent to P5 in local schools) are using local school P4 Chinese textbook. But of course, their real Chinese level is hard to tell since they do not have much chance to use Chinese. So the Year 6s at RC, although they are using P4 Chinese textbook, they are probably not as good as local school P4 students. However, I do believe that if a child is to stay with RC from Year 1 to Year 9, he should have learnt enough Chinese for daily use.
(4) Yes. But the school would not assist you in attending to the government "lottery". So you need to make arrangements yourself. (I know that some other international schools do provide support to their parents in the government P1 allocation.)
(5) RC do not have the same sibling policy as other ESF schools written in black and white. However, I would think that the school would (and should) have exercised discretion in considering applications from siblings. Of course, the preliminary is still that the sibling has to meet the minimum language requirement.

作者: MarcusD 時間: 08-2-4 10:44

Dear Mrose

Agree that it is difficult to make up the mind.

I am not a HYLIS parent, I just happen to know a friend who got three girls study in it.

All girls completed Primary in HYL, while 1st and 2nd girls went to SC and graduated, and the third one go to RC. (2nd and 3rd girl have 10 years age different, therefore, no sibling advantage.)

I think when the RC fully established, it’s secondary school will equally difficult to get in!

Having said that my friend are highly praise the HYLIS and told me it is a good school.

This is a very interesting phenomenon.
I think the expectation of whether a child is willing (or able) to speak Cantonese is quite dependent on the family background.
The more "local" a family, the more English they are asking for from the school. The reason is that, they are basically depending mainly on the school to provide English environment to the child. At least, this is quite what I have noticed from different messages here at BK.
If the family is very "western", the parents usually prefer their children to learn and use a bit more Cantonese. In fact, if the family life is western, speaking more Cantonese at school should not have adverse effect to a child's English standard. This only mean learning one more language/dialect.
There are actually quite a lot of western/foreign born Chinese children at RC that cannot speak Cantonese/Putonghua. So it is in fact those parents that care more about Chinese. At RC, you can hear a lot of parents trying to speak in Cantonese/Putonghua to their children, but the children are replying in English.
I have lived in western countries for most of my life and hope my children are willing to speak more Cantonese. In fact, being able to speak fluent Cantonese does not mean that a person is not good at English.

Hi Mrose,

We were not invited to see the CNY performance. I guess is because the Pre-nursery class has not participated. Perhaps next year they will have chance to participate.

As to your worry about HLYIS could only provide up to year 9 education, I think you can try to contact the Principal and ask her about their direction on secondary education. If you have read their news letter, you should know they are planning to do something with the Japanese Internation School in Tai Po for providing secondary education in the New Territories. As you kid is only going to Year 1 this summer, I think when she finishes Year 9, it is very likely that HYLIS should be able to provide education up to Year 13. We can share more on this with me if you like. Feel free to PM me.

Dear Chui1234,

I got your PM and I just replied you by PM. Pls check. Don't worry that your girl would not speak to the teacher. One of my girl is also very shy and did not speak too much when she went to the interview. Besides, she cried badly at the beginning for almost 10 minutes. But it's OK, the teachers are very nice and they understand some of the kids need time to warm up and do not "perform" well in strange environment. So they will not judge your kid because she doesn't speak. All kids have differenct kinds of telent and you can not tell by just interviewing them for 30 mintues. So go ahead to send the application and good luck to you.

Chiu1234,

你不用太擔心呀，你的女兒沒有比別人差，我相信她是年紀太細輸蝕，因為你的女女只有四歲一個月大，小朋友就算差一兩個月大，反應和心智發展也可以差距很大，我的女兒剛四歲時像一舊飯，也不太理睬別人。現在我的女女到三月中就足五歲了，面試一定較好也較著數呀！
HLYIS是一間很不錯的學校，他們每天也有中文課堂，又提供普通話班(要自費)，似乎有意提高學生的中文水平。
我個人就很欣賞他們的老師對學生很關顧，每天透過手冊和家長互動，又鼓勵、啟發小朋友閱讀和主動學習，是不錯的選擇。如果你很想女兒入讀RC，我建議你先讓女兒入HLYIS，明年再試考RC或英基旗下的學校，相信很大機會。

Yes..totally agree... too subjective without evidence. He always thinks his words is the reality.

Everytime he likes to say he doesn't want to response. Then, he kept on using different names responding here and continued blaming others. I can't understand his motive.

Besides, why can't we show satisfaction to a school? We are consumers. We may help our kids switch to other schools if the present one is not good enough.

Too aggressive and subjective. Arguments shallow without scrutinizing the reality in the schools. I'm happy that parents with such attitude would not choose RC or HLYIS.

well, although his "language" is kind of 激進，but i think he has quite good points. Maybe he is not good at expressing his opinions that make others feel too offensive, but if you put aside this (his attitude), then you may find some of his points are really 有道理, 亦有參考價值。

I also agree with daydream that SJS

- has a proven track academic records
- With a well-structured and proven education system
- Good overseas university connections and a pool of useful alumni (or I would rather say it is Shatin College that count)
- Lower school fee

I am a RC parent now but my target school for my girl was SJS last year.  My girl didn’t get an interview because of the priority system, and so we went for RC instead.  I was a little bit worried at the beginning because at the time RC wasn't there at all and be honest, the reputation of Phoenix was not "too good".

Anyway, in the middle of last year, my girl was invited to an interview with SJS finally, but we turned them down after a family meeting.  Things and systems within RC are almost all in shape.  I do want my girl to learn traditional Chinese in school (SJS is teaching simplified Chinese only).  We like the atmosphere in RC, we like the teachers, we like the parents there.  All of them who I met, have passion toward making RC to be a quality school.  We can feel that the future of RC is very promising.  And most important is that my girl loves her school.

The Cantonese during playtime do not bother me at all.  My girl will switch her spoken language when needed.

I know a few parents switched the kids from SJS to RC but on the other hand, a few parents switched the kids from RC to SJS.

I think sending a kid to SJS is like investing in HSBC shares, return is comparative safe and guarantee but RC is a new company with a very promising future and return and which worth a try too.

AAA-mom,

We had that expression because we had read over 10 posts from him. It's most welcome everyone shares information here. However, it's really annoying if someone doesn't listen to the others and just believe in his own words. Once another parent would ask or show some opposite opinion, he would say himself as a victim and would not response anymore as a full stop. As a reader, I think it's unfair to close a discussion in this way. It's an open forum. I also would like to hear SJS/SC/RC/BHS/CIS/HKIS/GSIS/other IS parents' sharing here. I don't want to see that they are being scared away by such discouraging words. Moreover, he always likes to start "I teach you." Anyone wanna a lesson here?

The most interesting thing is how he can rank the schools. Only if he lets his kids study (A) (B) (C) schools, then he may share why (A) over (B) over (C) as per his experience. If not, it is ridiculous to make a conclusion. Is he an educational expert? Perhaps the magazine like Parents may invite him to write an article.

Hi 豬爸爸,

以下答案, 純粹小囡讀後感加意見, 希望幫到你.

1) $, 唔知佢以後d學費加得勁唔勁.如果年年都加,我都唔知頂唔頂得住.仲有,我須唔須要預$比佢讀課外活動呢?
ANS: 首先你要留意不單止小學學費. 你必須預算中學和大學的支出.
至於課外活動方面, 可增可減. 我認識讀local幼稚園/小學的朋友們, 他們平均要付$3500-$6000課外活動.  如果你只挑選一兩樣興趣班, 銀碼當然又細很多. 學校方面唔會強迫你比 $參加課外活動.

2) 紀律問題.好驚佢學壞.
ANS: 老實說, 我都驚驚地. 有些頑皮的男孩子確有在學校打架. IS學校不會管束太嚴. 老師會教其他小朋友學習自己保護自己.

3) 中文程度:我知佢有普通話,但唔知佢書寫能力得唔得
ANS: 老實說, 跟LOCAL比,當然不夠. 但我發現LOCAL SCHOOLS中文情度都有很大差別. 我識一班K3小朋友, 中文已經作句和閱讀理解. 有些卻認識很少中文字. RC 普通話跟小朋友本身情度, 分等級去教. 老師讀音很純正.  Spoken方面較LOCAL強. 但每件事都有TRADE OFF.  在全英話環境地方, 如家長在家不加把勁, 很難提昇小朋友對中文興趣.

4) 我還可以參加小一自行派位,私校,直資和大抽獎嗎?
ANS: ABSOLUTELY YES.

5) 我仲有個細B,我當然希望兩個讀埋同一間,唔知家姐帶埋個妹入嘅機會高唔高呢?
ANS: 對不起, 我不知道呢.

英文方面: 依我所見, listening/reading/spoken 都有很大進步.
中文方面: 如果有要求, 家長要勤力去配合.
思考方面: 我不知是她長大了還是學校功勞, 我覺得她變得每事問, 對很多事物都有興趣, 有logical thinking.
老師方面: 很nice, professional and responsible.
管理方面: 很滿意. 每項活動都籌備得很efficient and considerate. 譬如Sports Day, kids will join some group activities so everybody needs to participate and try how to co-operate with each other.  Teachers will distribute waters/drinks to kids and parents.  Teachers keep on reminding kids how to take care of their belongings and not to leave any rubbish.  Upper years reading buddies will look after younger children.

During normal days, I need to work so I seldom go to the school.  This morning I was lucky that I am still on holiday.  I accompanied my daughter to have a swimming lesson in the school. I saw many foreigners and most of them were hugging each other after long holiday.  The atmosphere was so warm.  Little kids were talking and greeting to Mr. Muller.  It seems he looks like their friend.

BBQQ,

Yes.. I recognised two parents had given up the offer of SJS. Simultaneously I recognised two students had switched to AIS or SJS. Every coin has two faces. Every school has its pros and cons. Everyone has his/her own decision.

mrose,

I did not understand your purpose of sending me a PM. I think there is nothing between you and me that cannot be shared publicly here.

You are welcome to share your views. However, you comments on RC were definitely not "經驗分享" as you described in your PM since you have no kids with RC.

In any case, please do not PM me anymore.

Hi lalasan,
My girl is also in 加卅花園英文幼稚園. I would like her 讀國際學校 too. I am interested in RC and 康樂園國際學校. I haven't had a chance to visit these two schools yet. May be we can go together.

DO NOT LET HER GO TO RCHK,
students in that school smokes, the can listen to ipods during class, play internet during class, talk on the fone during class

作者: chingyu 時間: 08-3-2 17:57

Hi lollipop (or I should say a new comer registered on March 2nd 2008),

Obviously you are bad-mouthing RCHK and Singapore Int'l School.  Please be reminded that we can read your responses on 5 threads simultaneously.

My cousin is studying in Yew Chung Secondary and my daughter is studying in RC Primary.  I am sure I know well in both schools.  Have you visited both schools personally?

I don't mean YC is not good. Fortunately my cousin is studying very well in this school.

Just a wild guess.  Are you a student in YC and rejected by RC Secondary?

For other parents, it had better visit the schools and find out the facts rather than reading any rumours here.

Best regards,
chingyu

It is always interesting to see people providing information sbout schools.
Let me tell you, who is/are so determined to tell the world "facts" about RC, the truth.
Babykingdom is not as well-known as you presumed. It is obviously not a place where most international schools parents would visit.
In any case, you are more than welcome to post more of your views. Your messages are really entertaining, and I think many people really "enjoy" reading your messages.
Keep it up!
