Things to Consider
Not negatives — just things worth knowing before you decide

“學校氛圍好,老師對小朋友很有愛心。”
“升小去向不錯,不少入到好學校。”
“教學程度高咗好多,有要求,但小朋友超級鍾意返學,亦不自覺可以將學校教嘅嘢講返出嚟 同幾年前家姐嘅課程好唔同,好明顯有心設計過。相同嘅係,一樣熱愛上學,重有,茶點超好食。”
“小朋友好鍾意返學,大部分老師係關愛,課程內容有趣,茶點好,課程我覺得正常程度,k2開始寫字,到尾開始教寫自己個名,但有啲劵幼係要k3先開始寫字,所以如果你係要求高其實唔會考慮劵幼,希望幫到你。”
“同原本n比較 都算多學生outing/主題活動 一個月都有一次 我個班老師有心教 其他班唔知 茶點唔錯 可能係劵校關係 收生明顯見到有參差 有好醒 都有好無反應既 如果你aim 直/私就唔洗諗 學校教既會係基本 你要自己外補。”
“PC只係幼升小易升,小升中會篩走一堆人”
