論學校外觀及大小,當然Shatin Junior 好D 啦.但課程是否一樣我都好有興趣知道.我仔仔的同學從P.1 on waiting list to P.3都仲未等到 Shatin Junior有位俾佢.終於都係搬

Thank you. In fact, I'm going to move to Ma On Shan from Kowloon Tong, that's why I'm evaluating whether I should apply for Beacon Hill School or Shatin Junior School. Your friend's son had been waiting for 3 years for SJS ? This really scare me.

Any parents have hints about whether BHS or SJS is more difficult  ?

咁最後九龍ESF有無收到佢？邊間？

garon

To MomMom,

No~~~~ Finally, they moved to Kowloon Tong.

To Ruby1219,

Do you know a new primary school will be open in Ma On Shan? But I forget which year will open. Why don't you call ESF head office to get more information?

:wink:

Garon,

He studying in KJS. And My son just in BHS. They are classmate before.

garon

To MomMom,

Yes, He was the student of BHS, but he lives in Shatin. So he was waiting the Shatin Junior School.
At last they moved to aryle street near Kowloon Tong. Then ESF let him in KJS.

Garon,

You son is now studying in BHS ? Which year ? Do you think BHS is easy or difficult ? Which kindy was your son studying ? I'm still puzzling whether to apply for BHS or SJS for my son. Can you give me some clues ?

On the other hand, your friend was transferred from BHS to KJS ? was it easy ? I do think of putting my son in BHS (if BHS is easier) first, then transfer him to SJS, but not sure if it's easy or not. please share if you have any idea ?

Thanks
Ruby

就算咩野關係都冇，其實入 SJS 一ｄ都唔難，只要小朋友讀間幼稚園係國際學校，排隊交 application form 時又排頭幾十個，就幾乎都一定有得 interview，比得你 interview 就代表有位比你．不過當然要小朋友 interview 時表現合格啦！最少要講野囉．

Ruby1219

Berylmom,

Really ? That would be great ! Where did you get this information ?

Thanks,
Ruby

呢個係我個女既 case.

不過 2000 年出生率比 1999 年高,所以交 application form 排頭十個會好d.我上年排第六位.

Ruby1219

Thank you. Sure I will queue up there very early.

01.You son is now studying in BHS ? Which year ?
     Yes, my son studying in Year 4.
02. Do you think BHS is easy or difficult ? Which kindy was your son studying ?
      Do you mean enroll easy or difficult? My son was graduated in ESF Tsing Yi. Of coz he must the easier one to enrolled BHS. But he still had 2 classmates can't pass the interview in BHS. One is the Japanese. ( He can speak quite good english, I don't understanding what reason make he failed.) The other boy his character is introversion, I think it's make him failed.

03. your friend was transferred from BHS to KJS ? was it easy ?
      Yes, very easy.
      Actually, in my estimation, BHS and KJS are  easier than SJS. Because SJS is the only one ESF primary school to take the students all from Satin, Ma On Shan, Taipo, Fanling, Sheung Shui...etc. It just my opinion.

To Ruby1219

Have you visit the both schools?

Ruby1219

Dear Garon,

I just live opposite to BHS, so don't feel the need to visit the inside. As per my knowledge, ESF does not much welcome school visit.

For SJS, no too. Wanna take a visit but don't know how, maybe after the application period lar. But I'm already quite impressed after seeing pictures in their website.

Ruby

Ruby1219

So, do you think BHS is a good school ?

How's the quality of their principal and teachers ?

garon

Ruby 1219

By the way, do you want to take a visit in BHS?
These 2 days. They have parents evening meeting. I think you also can visit there.

Ruby1219

Dear Garon,

Yes, I did see a lot of parents at the school last nite. But I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to get in as I'm not a ESF parent, feeling bad lor..... :cry:

Anyway, thank you.
