Sara-mama,
AIS Tuesday 無class架,只有Mon/Wed/Thur/Sat咋,你計劃幾時start?

心心,
<睇saramami 成日笑mi mi 相信佢想當年都殺死唔少男仕> 100% agree

makusma,
唔該晒你詳盡報告,考就照考,next year我會去Open Day睇睇,然後再諗.

yinyin,
返2間我definitely唔會喇,唔係我一早就安排Daniel 上午返ESF,下午返SC,唔洗make咁多effort幫Daniel SC轉上午班啦,我想Daniel讀IS絕對唔係 for the purpose of better English架,我想佢有個pressure free既primary education, 同acquire problem solving skills though their curriculum.  Traditional local schools俾唔到呢d野佢.

bignose,
I share the same concern with you about Chinese learning.  我俾Daniel返SC,係想佢讀多d中文, 否則我索性同我hubby分居帶Dan Dan返我娘家Sydney, Dan Dan係 citizen, 讀preschool唔洗錢.

yinyin,
我都知好多target local primary school但又想小朋友英文叻d既parents會咁做,但makusma 同我target IS at primary level, 應該唔會喇,冇功課咪arm晒我呢d lazy 媽咪囉,玩唔等於冇野學.  makusma, "lay is a child's work", remember? 好羨慕你有個咁正既媽咪.

bignose,
自學中文當然係一個option,不過,過程相當辛苦,我nephew剛剛11歲,讀中一 (Island School), 之前讀Bradbury School (ESF), Year 3開始有中文, Year 1初初every Saturday去KGV讀Chinese (catered for IS kids),抗拒得好緊要, every week為默書慘過死人LUM樓,讀左年半give up左,又試過請private tutor都shows no signs of improvement,點知到Year 3,自己學校教,佢又gradually有番d興趣,E家作到小學程度既文章,已經比我想像中好.

Tiffany,
Preschool 唔知,但好小學一出世要攞form喇喎, 我熟North Shore多d, boys 定 girls school呀?  Girls' school 就梗係我母校, Pymble Ladies' College啦 ,  Boys' school 就梗係Knox Grammar School啦.  近city centre 就Sydney Grammar肯定最堅, 但Sydney Grammar呢類selective schools, 咁急 almost impossible喎.

yinyin
<事實上有d 人真係認為返2間, 好過返playgroup>  Academically我同意既,但可能我來自比較westernized既family,覺得學術成績唔係最大前題囉,d鬼佬覺得我地d Hong Kong parents咁做簡直係"crazy, totally unacceptable" 架, which I actually agree to large extent.   仲有, I can't afford to pay the fees for 2 schools

Tiffany,
Australia d人無咁變態, Preschool usually搵近屋企OK,  Preschool = Playgroup, 玩 玩 玩ONLY!
Next summer 我都諗緊send Daniel去 Syndey返下preschool, 佢地呢d age好似一星期返2-3 days咋,仲要免費,weekend同佢去 Snowy Mountains 學 skiing, Ionie一齊去好嗎?  Just one more thing, Pymble Ladies'  College also has kindergarten admission.  Please click below for more details.

tanny,
Will you pick up Ian from school tomorrow or any day this week?  If so, I can pay $66 back to you.

danielboy

tanny,
What about Wed/Thur/Fri?  Will you pick him up?  
For gymnastics classes at AIS, there is only one time slot for both Wed & Thur ie. 5:30-6:30.  

danielboy

tanny,
我都想睇.[size=large]大奧呀,但我要做.[size=large]大戲俾.[size=large]大少睇.

謙謙,
你定啦, Dan Dan當Sara係Baby咋,佢成日話Sara同Naoki係BB,但Janice就唔同喇, jc_mom & tanny,你地今次煩喇.    

Tiffany,
Sydney Grammar 係 Boys' school, 而且係 selective school, 要考, depends on 邊個intake, 如果係 Year 7, 真係收d好勁既人,唔洗一出世就apply,最緊要叻.  PLC係 non-selective school, first come first serve, 一出世就apply,機會好好多, otherwise, they simply put you on waiting list, 一樣有機會.  PLC d老師好到不得了,但有d同學都幾snobbish,係North Shore論成績就同Abbotsleigh, Ravenswood差不多,但PLC有名氣d因較all rounded, 運動好叻,尤其athletics, 如果書虫就麻麻地arm,肯定俾人玩,But looking back, 嚮 boarding school, 真係學到好independent, efficient & organized,終身受用
