關於P.2流失學生的問題,我想有人誤傳了:今年開學後只有兩位前P.1學生走了,其中一位是上年5月入學的外籍生,只讀了2個月,相信是回外國的暫讀學生吧;真正離開的就只有一位!
相反今年很多班級都各加入了數個新生;而P.2都來了兩位新生呢!

你們覺得激活好些或是李宗德好些，兩間都收了我仔仔，但上次我去面試激活時，我不知是否學校的學生較開放，學校約了我與仔仔在敦學後面試，在等候的過程中見到放學的學生互相追逐之餘，還在彈紙，還彈到我與仔仔。所以現在很矛盾，都想聽吓你們選激活的原因。
作者: dlh525 時間: 08-10-31 22:35
你好! rabbitnping,
我本人就會較喜歡Gigamind啦!
其實你所講的情況, 未必是因為激小開放或者自由o的才會發生. 我就認為間間小學都會有此情況, 只不過係你見到定見唔到o者...小朋友點會唔玩呀?

作者: nscwong 時間: 08-11-7 14:01
TT will implement small size class (25-29) from 2009 though the class size is not as small as Gigamind.
I heard Gigamind's learning environment is quite relaxing and they have only 2 exams each year whereas TT has 3 tests and 2 exams each year. I understand both of them do not assign many homeworks. If I am not worry about International School's maths and chinese standard, I'll just send my son to an international school.
Although a school with comprehensive hardware would be a bonus, it is whether the school suits the children that is important.
My husband prefers TT as he thinks TT is more reputable and students there are allocated to better secondary schools. Do you think so? If we'll choose TT, we'll have to move.
Would you tell me the usual amounts of homework?

作者: 42669369 時間: 08-11-7 20:56
Hardware is not my concern as well. I focus on the software side - teacher to student ratio, teaching method and language policy. I see that a low teacher to student ratio is important for language learning. I also like the school hours of Gigamind. As the school starts at nine, my kid can go to bed late and we can have more time in the evenings.

Hello HJ6153,
要評論一間學校的好與壞, 其實真係好睇家長本身的取向, 取向可以係小班教學、愉快學習環境、全英語及普通話教學
, 而上述各項正正是我的期望。
到目前為止, 我的小朋友每天都很開心地去返學, 每天放學都積極地去完成功課, 因功課量合理, 很多時都可以有空閑時間去溫習一下或讀下課外書, 最重要既係佢可以有d時間玩下嘛! 同埋好多時聽到我小朋友講番學校既情況, 都係好開心既! 當然間中因頑皮比老師罰個d就梗係無講比我知啦! 哈哈!
至於中文水平, 我好明顯感覺到我小朋友在這愉快的學習環境下, 佢好樂於面對佢既功課同好明顯佢係好比心機做既, 因為咁, 反而佢既中文各方面既能力仲提升左添!

Dear dlh525,
我很滿意激小整體的英語環境, 自從入左呢間學校, 我小朋友的英語真係進步左好多好多, 首先, 唔會一見到一段英文就抗拒左先啦, 平時可以用英語對答啦, 我如果有時用中文問佢, 佢會好自然咁有時答番英文囉, 連小息時間都已經實行強制使用英語或普通話, 如果犯規會罰去time out zone架, 可以睇到呢間學校係好有心去營造一個全英語及普通話環境比佢地既學生。
另外, 除左在學校, 其實家長本身在家裏的角色亦極為重要, 要作出配合, 一齊營造英語學習環境才可以真正令英文程度不斷上升的。好簡單例如學校差不多每天都有Reading靜讀時間以鼓勵學生培養閱讀習慣, 但我地唔通就咁靠學校那小小的時間? 係唔夠架, 在家裏我地都要定時要佢地做reading, 我地係唔可以奢望小朋友會自動自覺架。
至於NET的數量, 對於這間咁細咁小班的學校, 我覺得已算足夠分配,
以我小朋友現在的其他中國人老師都教得不錯, 之前有個sports day, 我也有去睇, 見到所有老師同學生都用英語傾計, 有時就會用普通話, 總之連學生唔聽話, 都係用英文去話佢地架, 其實只要英語環境做得全面, 又有得接觸到外國人, 我個人覺得真係唔一定要每一個老師都要係NET架。
純粹個人意見, 可能長氣左, 希望冇悶親您啦。

Hi miffy3005,
我唔肯定插班的面試方式是否與p.1的一樣. 不過都可以約略告訴你. 是校長親自負責interview的, 家長可以與小朋友一起入校長室, 會先叫小朋友畫幅畫後問小朋友的畫內容, 跟著用英文問了一些日常問題及問了大約30幾個英文字(有圖), 問完後就用中文跟小朋友傾計. 之後就會同家長傾計談學校方針及我們查詢等等. 大致上in p.1時是這樣.
**如有不正確, 請其他mama幫忙更正.**
你可以入激小的web site睇睇, 其實佢地都有參加不同比賽. 是否多就見人見知.
是否可以告知你為何會有轉校打算?? TM那間不好嗎?

其實激活小學最吸引我的地方係9:00a.m.上學，每一班人數約13個人。
我想要亞女讀激活小學真係save more money.

Hi Michelle,
Nice to meet you. My daughter is studying in P.1 in Gigamind. Before I enrolled my daughter to this school, I had the same worries as you (the school fee and the school campus) For public primary schools and Joseph Lee, the school campuses are much bigger and there are more facilities, however, there are far more students sharing the space and facilities. Although the school is big with lots of activity groups, the opportunity for an individual student to enjoy the activities or walk around the school campus is not high.
But in Gigamind, no matter what level you are in, you can use the same facilities or go to every corner of the campus. The new comers (P.1 students) can quickly get used to the campus, teachers and students of all levels. Imagine, for a p.1 student, standing in the middle of a school playground, facing a seven-storey building, meeting so many different faces of teachers and students, how miserable he or she is!!
Class size is the main difference between Gigamind and Joseph Lee. It is true that there are far more activities in JL than in Gigamind, however, does a student really get or learn much in a big activity group with students from different levels?
Hope the above can help you.
All the best

I am a Gigamind mum-to-be. A friend of mine from the Education field has told me that the teachers of private primary schools are mostly less experienced as the remuneration package offered by private school is usually less attractive than that of subsidised schools. Is this the situation in Gigamind? I know little about the teaching profession and am a bit worried about it. Are there any Gigamind parents working in this field can share with us your knowledge and views on this?
作者: tszma 時間: 09-4-25 19:30
The stability of the teaching team was also one of the main worries when I first considered Gigamind. But once the school term started, I found that the teaching team is quite stable. At the beginning of the school term, newsletters were given out to parents to introduce the teaching staff. Most of the staff are young with a few years of teaching experience and most of them were at Gigamind last year. Most are u-graduated and studying a post-grad. teaching certificate. As I know, there are only two or three new teachers this year. In my opinions, there are both pros and cons of having a comparatively young teaching team. The teachers are comparatively easier to accept new ideas and teaching methods and maintain a closer and two-way relationship with the students. However, they are young and not yet married or had children of their own, they may not be able to understand completely from the parents' points of view. It is doubtless that the subsided schools can provide better and more attractive offer to teachers than private schools but teachers in return face more restrictions or constraints.

Hi Tszma,
想請問一下 Lunch 的食物是否尚當及份量有幾多? 會不會有set A or B這樣選擇的?
Tks/dlh525
作者: tszma 時間: 09-5-12 22:35
Pupils line up to get lunch when the bell rings. (It is good that they are trained to be responsible for their own selves. In many schools, lunch boxes are delivered directly to the classroom for the pupils.) Only one set is provided every day. They will have one main dish, rice or pasta, soup and fruit every day. The lunch lady will put the food in the tray in front of the pupils. So the pupils can make requests (more / less rice, more / less soup). Then they will take the tray of food back to their own seat to enjoy it. P.2 to P.6 pupils will enjoy their lunch together round the tables but P.1 pupils will have it in the classroom with the homeroom teachers. If they want more, they can go and get it.After lunch, they need to show the lunch boxes or trays to the teachers. Teachers will encourage them to eat more and not to be picky. Pupils are required to clear the trays before they return them.
the meal costs $27 every day (I think it's really expensive compared with the set lunch in fast food shops) In order to assure that the meals are healthy, little salt and seasoning is used so the food may not be attractive to pupils. However, it is good for their health. Different cuisines are provided (Italian, American, Indian, Chinese,... style) within a month.

Hi,
I'd like to represent the school and all the parents (I hope they won't mind me representing them) to welcome you and your children.
All caring parents have their own expectations on the school that they have chosen. However, please bare in mind that not all will come as what we have expected. A school is really a very very big family. We sometimes need to compromise, share and reflect but not merely complain to maintain the harmony of the family. Agreed?

Hi Sumheima, Tszma, current Gigamind parents,
Do you think Gigamind's courses a bit simple/easy if compare with the others?
I am REALLY worrying that my girl may not be able catching up when she's up to secondary school.
作者: tszma 時間: 09-6-6 00:24
First of all, welcome you again.
As I have said before, learning happens anywhere and anytime but not merely at school. It is too passive to let other parties (school , tutorial centre ) to design the learning framework for our own kids.
To be frank, the course provided by GM (esp. for P.1) is comparatively less tense or tight. Maybe the scope is not as wide as that provided by other subsidized schools, but it is deep enough. Pupils have time to rethink, revise and reflect what they have learnt.
Actually for I.S. and Maths, textbooks which follow the EMB syllabus are used. So pupils do not learn less than others. For English, they are learning daily (natural) English which is not framed by the publishers.
Frankly speaking, to catch up with the pupils in local schools (I mean those traditional 'popular' schools but not the local schools in Tin Shui Wai), parents need to encourage them to read more books. Since pupils in GM do not come across or are not asked to memorize many Chinese words, parents may need to give them some supplement to help them read.
You don't need to worry too much about the bridging between primary and secondary schools. Once they have built up
1. confidence to speak and express themselves in public,
2. self-awareness and motivation to gain knowledge and
3. enjoyment in learning ,
they would probably move smoothly up the education ladder.
Welcome to comment.

Hi Tzema,
Thanks for the details, I can sleep well tonight.
However, I know my character.... I feel positive this minute but negative next minute.
I think I need to learn how to relax myself......
作者: tszma 時間: 09-6-8 22:13
I know exactly how you feel. I am also a mother who easily gets nervous. So I always tell myself to relax, especially in nurturing my daughter. Keeping a good and intimate relationship with her is far more important that pushing her or loading her with extra works. Therefore I let her study in GM. My daughter enjoys her schoollife very very much. She knows nearly every teaching staff and many schoolmates in all levels.
Since she doesn't have much pressure in learning at school, she is pleased to challenge herself with the supplementary exercises that I prepared for her.
When a kid has the mood and she/he asks for it, she/he will do well and learn better.
Happy to share with you.
See you

作者: tszma 時間: 09-6-10 22:42
You don't need to buy a very big one. They have textbooks for Maths and I.S. Teachers are really considerate. They will keep the textbooks and workbooks at school. Pupils will be given the one that is in use. They don't need to bring all of them every day.For English and Chinese, they are given F4 files to keep the worksheets. However, I suggest you to buy a schoolbag with wheels (Quite a lot of pupils are using this kind of schoolbags) because they don't need to walk upstairs. It is more convenient and comfy.

My daughter's schoolbag is quite nice. It is not too fancy (My daughter is quite boyish, she doesn't like fancy things like princesses now.) There is Charlie Brown on it.The size is O.K. Since the picture is not a Disney character, it is comparatively cheaper. I bought it in Yuen Long (千色店) There are two colours. One is blue and one is pink.
It is being used for almost 10 months, but it is still good.
Take it as a reference.

hi, what have you arranged for your kids in the coming two weeks?
My husband made some chinese word-cards so our girl can learn more chinese words these days.
作者: tszma 時間: 09-6-16 23:24
When my daughter was in K3, I started teaching her to recognise some commonly used Chinese characters. It is really helpful to build up her confidence in reading. Actually children can learn the Chinese characters anywhere and anytime, for example, reading the road signs, names of the roads and signs on the vehicles. Don't look down upon them, they have a very huge capacity in memorizing things at this age. However, frequent retrieval of the knowledge is needed.
In this surprise holiday, I have brought her to the Science Museum, the pool and the Wetland Park. We also played badminton and table tennis and visit the public library ( However, tomorrow she can go back to the school library to read because it will be open to the students. Hurray. ) Thanks God that most of her afterschool activities are not cancelled, so she can have fun with friends.

The staff in GM is so considerable. A few days ago, one of the staff phoned us and asked about the health situation of the pupil. She also said that if the pupils are in good health condition, they are welcomed to come back to school to use the IT facilities, the library or meet the teachers if they have problems in the homework. However, parents have to register first by phone. It is a good news for parents, especially those who live nearby. My daughter went back to the school library for two hours in the afternoon. The school library is less crowded and the books there are cleaner and tidier. Besides, she could meet her homeroom teachers again.
