Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai School

Hi there,

Try this URL: http://cky.edu.hk/

I believe most official information are all in there. Why don't you call them up asking for more information?

Best Regards,

Heard certain rumours abiut that school (good and bad)about the school, so wish to clarify those rumours if they are true or not

Hi there,

Oh well, you have to ask an insider then. However base on my own experience as a student (back in the 70's) and as a parent now, there would always be opposite opinions. A school, no matter how good it is, it might not be suitable for everybody. This is the risk and the dilemma we parents all have to face.

Best Regards & Good luck.

I have no insider's info on this one, except that it's the school that Daughter Tall's cousin was almost signed up for. Cousin Tall's a year older than Daugther Tall, and will be starting school this coming fall. Her parents had chosen this school for her, but changed their minds when Cousin Tall unexpectedly got a place in a very good school via the last round of the central allocation.

I know they were talking about PLKCKS as being a less-traditional kind of school, but with a very good reputation. But I'm not sure that it's an 'international school' in the same way as the ones expats send their kids to? That was not my impression, at least . . . .

Heard from parents whose kids are in Po leung Kuk Choi Kai yau School, that many quit the school for "unknown" reasons.
There curriculum is kind of messy, as I was told, like condensing the 6 years of primary education into 5 years. Year 6 is suppose to be secondary one. Well kind of pushy I think. The kids quit probably because the foundation isn't well built and find it difficult to go on. Imagine condensing the 6 years into 5, assuming they are all geniuses. I also heard that the school disapproves private tuitions. In other words, from what I have heard, the school needs a lot of improvements well that is my point of view and does not represents any discretions

Yeah, I've also heard that in that school, the turnover rate of both the teachers and students are relatively high.

PLKCKY is NOT an international school. It is a less traditional school that is using english an a teaching medium. There are almost nil native english speaker.
It is very popular amongst those local chinese, who were not able to get a seat in a real international school.

Tell you what I am one of the student in this school in p.7(form 2)
I am telling you, this is a great school, it has forigner teachers and great books for teaching. It is certaitly great enough for smart kids to study in!

plkcky is a good school, and it is not a traditional school,stupid!!!

my child studies in cky. it is a very good school. children love to go to school and study. they love reading and speak fluent english & mandarin at a very young age. they are also good at projects and presentation. children who could survive in this school definitely are very self-learning & smart kids. it is definitely better than international schools as it uses international teachings but their mandarin level is definately higher. children speaks perfect mandarin. they are also confident and lively, not like those traditional schools. teachers' turn over rate are not any higher than other schools. my son is yr 3 and only 1 teacher left so far. some children left the school for various reasons. some left because they cannot adapt to the english & mandarin speaking envoronment. some left for free government schools. some left for international schools cause less homework. my friend's gave up her daughter's seat for a "very good" ie. very famous government school and she's regretting now. other parent friends let their children tried at y2 when they cannot get in initially. i think yr cousin miss out on a very good thing. good school or not it's not for us parents to study in. as long as the children are very happy and eager to learn, they'll get there some day. i hope those parents who only HEARD rumors do not believe it as it's mostly sour grapes phenominen!

i am 5e class ferrari

who r u,and my chinese class teacher is so...

My daughter is at Y5 in CKY. I don't agree that the turnover rate of student is high. One of her classmate left the school last summer because he goes to study in England. Students there enjoy reading and learning. We, as parents, love the school and respect our principle Lau.............
In short, we love and support our school and are willing to introduce our school to frineds' kids.

CKY is definitely a ideal school and luckily my daughter was offered a seat in P1.
