Just want to share some pic from Friday's P6 Graduation Dinner.
Everyone had lots of fun, and oh my, the kids grow so fast!

Erm......I don't know if you misunderstood what I said. My child does not have any problem with her English and what I was referring to was the AP's opinion of YC and not my daughter. My family and I experienced it meaning we were present when it happened. Whereas you heard it by word of mouth and obviously believed what you heard. Of course it could be true and we never write anything off! If it is the truth I take my hat off to the student because there are not many about who can grasp the command of good English from YC. By the way are you a YC parent and also what do mean by an official - can you be a little more specific? Thanks |

| Sorry I didn't mean your child had English problem. I meant the comment you heard about YC kids regarding their English. I am a YC parent, at least for a few more days. You can see my comments in this same thread earlier. Quite a few people here know who are my kids and have contacted me or my wife regarding some of my earlier comments. Official means the person who have access to all the test results and in the position to represent the school. I try not to drop any name here.

| 有家長告之小學部的陳校長以前在中學部的School Office工作的,並沒有擔任教學的工作,不知何解,幾年前調到小學部担任副校長,後來更坐正做正校長.据聞陳校長沒有中文教學的資歷或經驗. (耀中以往的中國籍校長都是中國語文教育工作者). Quote: YC-MOM 寫道: Quote: PS 唔該學校請陳校長趁暑期放假，去學好普通話；又或者，如果學校早會或學校活動，都想安排由兩位校長，一英一中的發言，那就不如請陳校長講廣東話；又或者，單單請 FOSTER 一個說話就好了。陳校長的普通話真的 "很爛" 。 |

| How is the school's of arts and designs program? My son is in secondary 3 and likes working on projects more than written work. He is very good in making models. Any one know if this will be a suitable school? I heard it has a large art room in the new building. Any one know any student who has gone to good university for archtecture study from this school? |

| Thank you so much for your comment and advice! You know so much about secondary and post secondary education. Thank you for sharing! But before I read in newspaper that this school is good in getting students who do not like the "Peking duck" style teaching and changing them to like learning by mixing learning with art and DT. I also read in the paper that there is an art exhibition going on. It seems like they can give a different ways for children who are not strong with words. As a parent of the school, are there children like that in the school? Are there really success cases? |
