My son is a student studying in Pui Kiu College since Grade 1. From what I observe, the school has been doing well to enhance the students' study with courage and passion. For example, my son is requested to run projects and presentations regularly through a variety of activities. Every time he is so exicted to work with other classmates for the best project idea and the presentation details as well. He spends a lot time and obivously enjoys it very much. When he has a hurdle or problem, the teacher will guide him with advice and help. I can see that he really obsorbs the knowledge and skill gradually wiithout any harsh study experience.
My son is comfortable to speak both English and Putonghua either at home or at school. The school offers him the language environment. He is asked to speak and to practice two languages during school hours. One point I like so much is he now gets used to read books each day that gives him a large advantage to accelerate his capability in language and learning development. My wife and I are so glad to see his change.
Some parents might have a concern of the school background. As I know, it is all about the school provides a wide range of opportunties for its students to develop their knowledge of China. The students learn a plenty of traditional Chinese cultures with hands on experience. They encourage to value, appreciate, respect and be proud of their own civilization like the Chinese music, dance, writing, innovation, custom, history, etc. I don't see any problem with that. In fact, I believe this is a wonderful life experience for all the students.
Same like other good schools, the school admission of Pui Kiu College is getting tough now. From what I have been told by the other parents, too many want to enrol but only a small number of children can be accepted. Getting in is no longer an easy job. To apply or not for Pui Kiu Colllege is a matter of personal choice. It is a parent's decision. For me, I have no regrets sending my boy to study in such school.
