We shall be moving to HK in August and are looking at schools. Like many who have posted previously, i have questions about schools and suburbs.
There are two schools of interest - St Margarets and PLK Cameos.
i have a few maps of hong kong, but i can't gauge travelling time on the train.
What are likely travel times from:
Sham Shui Po to wong tai sin
Yau Ma Tei to wong tai sin

what about living in shek kip mei, Yau yat Tseun, kowloon tong- i am getting these areas from maps - are they pure public housing type apartments or condo type apartments (eg pool, playground etc)

I would appreciate any information.
thanks.

Perth,

Haven't heard of these schools. Are they international schools?

Perth,

The two schools you have mentioned are local co-educational schools that offer classes with English as the medium of instruction. For more info, try their links:

For St. Margaret's Co-Educational English Secondary and Primary School

For PLK (Po Leung Kuk Camoes Tan Siu Lin School)

As for train traveling times, check them out for yourself using the Journey Planner at:

Hope that helps,

Thanks Max, i've tried those links. I wanted to know if they were truly English medium schools and whether their clientele were 100% local. I wondered if anyone had some first hand or second hand experience with these schools.
