When will be your 2nd in? I have already paid for the registration fee today. SMC is my 2nd/ 3 rd therefore I will accept the offer first. I have forgotten how many SL's pupils being accepted by SMC last yr.
How come the Maths bk in English & taught in Cantonese? Do they use English to taught as well. Do you think the school taught a lot of English becos I found that even though my son is in the international stream but he seems to learn more Cantonese. My boy don't understand Cantonese before K1 but he learned a lot for this 2 yrs. Of course not fluent lah! I wonder which school International stream is better.
Luckily we had handed in SMC's application early cos application for today will have the 1st interview on 12th Nov which I think by then there will be fewer vacancies left. Gd Luck for your son. Heehee ... let me know the result please.
SL still haven't let me know the new timing yet. O! the staff there response slow lah! Actually I don't like the staff in SL, their attitude not so good. As for syllabus, I think they are about the same. What is the time for your seminar?
My son speaks better in Mandarin however he reads better in English. He knows more English words. Quite confusing for him right... I think so too therefore I just speak English with my girl now. But I still find Mandarin very impt. Don't know how lah!
What time will be your seminar? Your boy so smart. My girl still learn nothing lah! She won't give me feedback when I asked her about the school. However, she likes singing a lot these days.
Sim,
It's not surprise for them to know more cantonese as in fact it's the mother tongue of almost 99% of the kids in the school....good to you all still that my little son cannot express well so far, he cant tell me what happen in the school at all, still look like a baby!
It's so good that your son can manage very well in mandarin and english and that's y it is not difficult for him to be admitted, my son is just an ordinary HK boy and only applies these 2 languages in the school only, and english with the maid at home, he doesnt have any certificate to support his application to DSS, so I do hope he will perform well by his own lah. At first SMC asked for a 2nd in on 30 Sep but my hubby was out of town and he wants to be there as well so we asked for re-schedule, now awaiting for their call again :-| he will have some other interviews on 9/10 and 10/10, very busy..... wish us good luck lah!
Just curious to know what's the difference you think St Lorraine vs. Zenith for those will go St Lorraine for K1 interivew? You gals make me also think if have to do the same
O! Most of the interviews are on 16th Oct. I think maybe becos they don't have lessons on that day. It's their staff development day. St. Lorraine has more holidays for the kids lah!
Don't worry! My girl don't know how to tell me what happened in school too. I think they will slowly know what they have learnt ... just like my son. I never revise with him when he was in Nursery. No homework & no textbk for him. I don't really know what the school taught him. My boy still can't say a full sentence when he was 2+ yrs old & he just went for 6 months nursery class but I think he caught up fast now.
Yup! I think it's becos my boy knows 3 languages that made him a bit 'special'. However, I think your son is good in both English & Cantonese as well. Do your son go for the Cambridge test? Are your son having TSL's & DBS's interview on that 2 days? Do you apply Lutheran for your son?
I think both St. Lorraine & Zenith have the same level lah! Just that SL has gov's subsidy for the local & bilingual stream but not for international stream. I chose SL becos my son is studying there so I can use back his bks. Can save a bit $ mah! It's costly to study in HK everything need $$$$.
My schedule of their seminar will be held on 10-Oct at 10:00am. I will attend.
My cousin also found that their staff showed it unfriendly and impatient. So, she don't like this school very much. However, she's still try to apply. But, it have not happened on me.
What is your first choice for your son? you mentioned SMC is your 2nd/3rd choices.

He didnt attend any public exam for his language proficiency ah, was just told today that Cambridge Starter is for kids of 6 years old wor, how come you guys can take the test?? We also applied for Lutheran, but it's not our target at all.
