Park Island Kei Wai Primary School

I don't know too much about this school, other than that the location of the school on Park Island would seem like an ideal place to send your children if you like the idea of children being in a quiter part of Hong Kong with cleaner air. If you lived on Ma Wan you could literally walk your kids to school, and I guess even take them home for lunch time!

What I thought was interesting about this Park Island school though, is that each morning there are a number of children whose parents live on Park Island for the clean environment, who send their kids to schools over at Tsing Yi or on Hong Kong Island because they consider those schools better or more prestigious. And yet at the same time, there a number of bus-loads of children who live outside of Park Island, who arrive each morning at Park Island because their parents prefer them to go to the Kei Wai Primary School!

Apparently Kei Wai Primary School has a reputation for "a more open and relaxed style of learning", which means that traditional Chinese parents may prefer to send their children to schools with a reputation for "strict study and discipline". Meanwhile, other parents, especially those with exposure to an overseas style education, find the idea of a more relaxed and interactive learning environment quite appealing.

If any of you have kids who attend the Kei Wai Primary School, please do feel free to post your thoughts and comments here.
