    Tung chung to Island school

    Hi All,

    We are considering whether to transfer our child to island school on HK Island. We live in tung chung and I do realize its going to be a long ride for her . Any parents sending their children to Island school from tung chung? pls share your experience and how does it work?

    thanks a lot!

    Island School or South Island School?

    Which school did your child attend before?

    You can take the MTR to Hong Kong station, then minibus 9 from Exchange Square. But not sure how busy that bus gets in the morning.

    Island school near the peak

    She is 10 & hasn't travelled alone in MTR before and I am a bit skeptical about doing it
    was hoping to get a school bus or pool in with someone for an assisted ride on MTR/public buses

    Check with the school they have a bus route that picks up at Central Ferry. They also have one that picks up from Castle Peak...

    Also, you do know they're moving in a couple of years time?

    Ah I just read on the site, Shatin wai and Tai wai

    That will bring them closer to tung chung, right? I hope they do start a bus service from tung chung then

    Sounds horrible for a kid.

    Take her to Tsing Yi MTR, there's a school bus from there.

    yeah by MTR its going to be absolutely horrible

    The reason I posted it here was that there would be other parents who would pool in something for a shared ride or have some adult assist the kid in the transfer

    Moving from midlevels to shatin should create a lot of issues for current students....
