| Quote: 塞曼莎 寫道: It seems all parents love CKY very much, why? what's the point draw all of your attention? CKY is not perfect. Students have to study in a temp. school location when they build new school. She use IB program. Once you get in, there is no turning back. No school is perfect. It depends on what you want. For example, I complain a lot about their administration. But, I love the school. [1] about school campus I picked CKY two years ago, and at that time I was aware already of their campus re-construction and temp relocation. To me, a “physical” campus is not important, but the way of teaching is what I care. A personal experience to share. I graduated from a US university, of which the campus is double the size of HKU. But the school, shame to say, is only a 三流大學 in US. After graduation I continued my study in its sister university – which has no campus, but only two 6-floor buildings in the city. However, the new school is one of the top 10th accounting colleges in US at that time! (unfortunately I was not majoring in accounting). So, a good campus is a bonus, but not the “meat” [2] about IB HK education system is suck (excuse me to say this). If HK would like to continue herself as an international city, she should have major education reform, to give up the “stuff duck” type of education. If not, it will be a dead end. IB has become a world trend, and I see no reason that HK education system will not adopt it. There will be more than 10 years my kid will enter university. If, unfortunately, by that time, HK still remains the existing education system, GOD BLESS HK, and GOD BLESS HK STUDENTS! I will prefer to send my kid to foreign countries or China. China is catching up fast, and I see a lot of growing respect (recognition of qualification) from foreign schools on Mainland's universities. But, look at HKU and CU, what international achievements (in terms of academics) they made in the past years??? |

| Dear mama, Since different school has different approach to teach under such a loose structure, they will have different emphasis during different time frame. Unless for the first 3 years (ie.P1,2,3), may be a bit easier, just as CKY principal said before, they will hardly admit student direct to their P3,4 onwards since the mismatch is too large, both the school and student will suffer. CKY is not prepare for kid to joint the luckly draw in P6 and they already issued newsletter to parent to clarify this point. For kids finish the secondary, I am pretty sure the local U. will admit them since the local U are now approaching to in line with the global assessment in order to upgrade them to be a first grade U. Together with if you observing our Gov. wording and the education reform doc., you will notice HK is now try to attracting other countries student to study in HK. How can they just constraint local student? |

| Hi! lamsuetwai I am very glad to meet you here. Yes, this week is being so hard. Totally agree with you. CKY may not be perfect but it is perfect to me, no other school can replace it. Wish both of our kids accept by CKY. Quote: lamsuetwai 寫道: ChunMaMa, You are better than me, at least your son have more 10 points than my son. My point of view is same as yours. I will pay 100% of attention of the 2nd interview but only thing i concern is NO CHANCE for 2nd interview. I really really want my son to study at this school as i think this is the most suitable school for him at Hong Kong and the price etc. is afforable by us compare with ISF or Yew Chung. This week is really not good for me as i am always think of the 2nd interview and wait and wait for the letter. In fact, i have phoned to the CKY and they said they will mail the letter to announce for the 2nd interview. Anyone know for those rejected will receive the letter as well. Kunggi201, Yinky, Really thanks for your shares, hope my son can join CKY in the near future. |

| during the interview, I saw a notice in the classroom 5B that any student speaking Cantonese or Foul Langugage. they will be required (not punish) to make an article of 200 words about that wording. It's good ! :-D |

| This is CKY's teaching method. Another personal experience to share: My kid hated Putonghua in P1. He didn't even understand Putonghua, and he didn't like reading Chinese books. I have been worrying about his P2 Chinese standard, as Putonghua is used in all Chinese subjects in P2. If my kid is studying in “traditional school”, he is definitely a problem kid from the eyes of Chinese teachers, and there will only be punishments, dictations and copybookings. This year after the school started, one day my kid returned home and told me that he got an award for Putonghua (WHAT!!!!!!??????). Then I found out that the “award” is actually a piece of in-house printing paper, not a big deal (shu……don't tell my kid). But it gave a lot of encouragements to him, stimulating his interest in Putonghua. He began to read Chinese books (in Putonghua loudly at home), talked to me in Putonghua. Then in only two months, he can now almost fully understand usual Putonghua conversation we talk to him (of course, spending two months with a Putonghua class-teacher everyday is very helpful too), and he can read books in Putonghua by himself (of course, the sound is not perfect, but at least he improves a lot!) That's one way CKY teaching their students – by encouragement.

| In the questionnaire filled in last Sat interview, CKY asked how many school have you applied for your child. Is it a matter for their consideration in accepting the child? The more that you wrote (I saw someone wrote 10!), that meant CKY is not your most favorite school? The less that you wrote (1-2), you had confidence in your child in the 'interview competition'? But I believe that many parents at least run for 3 schools on 5 Nov without counting the others before. Will they verify with you and your child in the 2nd interview (then you need to 'educate' him/her for a dishonest answer?) |

| 個人覺得張questionnaire未必計分。 |

| I am not the principal, but if I pretend myself as the principal, the questionnaire will show what direction you would like to develop your kid. - traditional approach or activity approach. It is not a matter of how many schools you applied, but what types of schools. Put youself in the position of CKY principal, if you are running an activity-approach school, and you know an applicant who have applied for many traditional schools, what do you think? Bear in mind that, CKY is looking for partners, not trouble. Parents without a firm belief on their teaching method will bring in trouble later. This is just personal thought, may not be the case of CKY. |
