Dear all toronto Mom,
I know that PET is a top school in Markham and have children studying in this school?
I want to know more about this school as I want to enroll my son there in Sept. I have heard that there are lot of Chinese students in there. Any idea of the percentage? Will the percentage of Chinese students be so large that it will affect the English learnt? Or am I just over worried ?
Please advise
我大仔上年九月返o左去係PET讀grade 11,我可以笞你有關少少學校既野,但因我身在hk,我都係從呀仔口中得知,希望比你知多些PET.
PET係好多'唐人'學生,不只PET,MARKVILLE,UNIONVILLE,總之係MARKHAM心臟地帶既住宅區,中/小學一樣係o甘既情況,除非你唔係MARKHAM區住.
FROM 我仔:學校有9成係華人, 大部份FROM中國/台灣,唔係好多係HK過去,而當中一半以上係CBC,其餘既可能係GRADE 9 OR 10已經O黎O左.我仔同他們用英語對話 (因我仔唔識講國語)
好多同學讀書都好叻,我仔有TAKE NIGHT COURSE,他話夜校同日校D老師差好遠,夜校個D老師好HEA.
他話:好多謝學校既guidance幫助他很多,呢一年他選科上唔明他就去搵guidance傾,他好鐘意係呢間學校度讀,他仲話如果有得選,他會grade 9就返去讀喎!
Dear 3 Kids mom,
Thanks for the reply. Happy to hear that your son enjoy the school life in there. I'm actually quite amazed by the fact that over 90% of the students there are of Chinese origin. The percentage is much more than my son's school in HK. He is in KGV and I guess around half of the students there are Chinese. However, it is really English speaking school, all of his students are in an English speaking environment.
But on the other hand, it may help him to learn mandarin in PET/Markham.
Also , can you tell me did you son complain the French is hard and difficult to catch up? This is another issue that my son worries about .
Dear 3 Kids mom,
My son is going to Grade 9 in the coming Sept.
I wonder if don't take French, will it affect or narrow choosing faculties for tertiary study?
Also, any idea of the rent market in the PET area and how much is the average utility bill for a 3-4 person family.
I still haven't found a house to rent. Whether my son can go to PET or not will depend on whether I can find a suitable location to rent. Is it hard to find a house for rent in that area? I guess the rent must be very high. I will come to toronto in middle of July.
Hope for the luck
3kids mom, I appreciate your speedy reply to my various questions and thank you very much for all the help.
By the way, can any Toronto mothers tell me which moving company you chose to ship the furniture?
I have contacted the Eastern Cross and they say that the cost of shipping my piano and 20 boxes of mischilanious items will cost 18K and are there any cheaper agencies that I can contact?
今年最新中學名榜如下: (NORTH YORK) 2011-05-08
1. Pierre Elliott Trudeau Hing School (9.2 Marks)
2. Bayview Secondary School (8.9 Marks)
3. Unionville High School (8.8 Marks)
其實以上三間都是好中學, 以我所知, 他們都各有所長特色, 如ET (數理好出色),BAYVIEW (有 I. B. PROGRAMME), UNIONVILLE (有 ART PROGRAMME).
