作者: piyopiyohoho 時間: 07-12-17 11:46 標題: DBS Vs SPCC - a difficult decision
Dear ABCD5678,
I guess you have come to the same difficult situation choosing between DBS and SPCC. It is too good if we could have some sharing.
Our son is lucky enough to have been accepted by SPC, SPCC and DBS. Despite being an old boy of SPC, I have already given up SPC for personal reasons. We have yet to make up our minds between SPCC and DBS. Here is my preliminary assessment: -
(1) Curriculum - both stress on little pressure, multi-intelligence or whole person development, though the general impression is that SPCC tends to put comparatively more weight on academic achievement whereas DBS places more emphasis on extra-curricular activities.
(2) SPCC is a Chinese Primary school, though we all know her English teaching resources are even better than most of the "English" Primary schools. Students are expected to use more English in DBS but of course, to a certain extent, at the expenses of Chinese lanauage development which is increasingly important these days.
(3) Teaching resources and teaching staff - comparable
(4) Physical environment – comparable (brand new campus for SPCC in 08/09, DBS's campus is also new for just a few years and has the advantage of sharing the Secondary school campus esp. grass pitch).
(5) as far as I know SPCC allows secondary students (F4-6) to choose IB programme (see prospectus). DBS has not made such pledge. Anyway this is too remote and given the trend, I am quite certain that both will embark on IB at least for the upper secondary forms.
(6) On the soft side, have you ever seen DBS and SPCC competing against each other in Music Festival (say Orchestra)? When SPCC won, the students go up the stage, get the award, smile, bow decently and courteously. When DBS won, students go up the stage, get the award, hold their fists and shouted "Yes!". Perhaps this could give you an idea - one is always courteous and upright, the other is full of passion.
The above may be wrong or is just my impression. Parents of DBS and SPCC are most welcome to give us some ideas.
Cheers

一間學校係香港, 一間係九龍, 是否都要睇下返學的路程而定?
一間男校, 一間男女校? 點揀好?

其實如果係睇地點，就唔會咁頭痛，香港米揀SPCC,九龍揀DB。
但當地點唔重要時，就更難揀，其實兩間都係好學校，但SPCC比DB更學術，而男女校就始終氣氛會好D，可能冇咁agressive。
好多人話男仔應揀SPCC
女就揀DGS
作者: piyopiyohoho 時間: 07-12-17 22:34
Hi Chanwk,
To be frank, we haven't made up our mind. You said I have already chosen. May I listen to your advice, please?
For 美人一號, shouldn't our new generation (especially boys) be more agressive and forthcoming?
P.S. location is not a problem and we can move home if necessary.
Thanks.
作者: 美人一號 時間: 07-12-17 22:45
所以米話取向問題，各有各喜歡，及各有各優點。我會較喜歡男仔文質彬彬d，當然良性競爭都係好事，但能在互勵互免環境下成長，我自己會覺得開心d。
spcc雖然話著重學術，但課外活動一d都唔弱，校長話有近八十種可供選擇，加上新校舍，環境都好好。
我自己在面試時，對spcc的staff及老師都有好好印象。

Hi Pretty Woman No.1,
It's nice to talk to another SPCC parent-to-be. I have the same good feeling about the staff and Headmistress, a reflection of their students. My son is good at English but comparatively weak in Chinese. Do you think it's a problem if I choose SPCC? Did your daughter apply for DGS?

我估唔會好大問題，其實據我從已讀緊不同小學的家長朋友所得，不論db/dg/spcc響入學初期，程度反而唔算太深，我讀緊dg朋友講，甚至kts/宣道的課程及書本比dg的深，但打好根基之後，就會慢慢加強，所以我相信你仔仔就算揀spcc都唔會追唔上。
據朋友講，dg/db都好鼓勵小朋友自己去求知，所以默書測驗有時會考下d課堂未教過，(所教過相關的野)，並且唔會講定幾時測驗，對小朋友都幾大挑戰。其實最終揀邊間，都真係各有各好，好難做決定。
我有考dg，但因仲有個仔，所以dg真係收，到時更難決定。

Dear piyopiyohoho ,
謝謝您的回應和詳盡分析 !
小兒沒有您囝囝標青，他只被 SPCC 取錄。
本人提此問題只為了解會否因 DBS 放榜而令 SPCC 騰出空缺給後備生。囝囝死黨參加了 SPCC 2nd Interview 而未被取錄。
從家長們的回應似暫未有太多因 DBS 而放棄 SPCC 的 case 呢 !
Anyway，祝 您們最終選到真正的最愛 !!

不要客氣，其實我現時很高興因為身邊有一班很樂於互助的幼稚園媽媽，大家常會互相過料，互勵互免，所以希望到了小學都一樣能有多一班這樣的朋友。綜合各方資料，spcc的校內競爭氣氛沒有純男/女名校般強，相對下家長的壓力可能較低，互相交心的機會也較高，相信這樣的環境，大人和小朋友都會開心吧！

I know 4 people coming from SPCC. Their ages are 6x, 40, 35 & P.4.
Believe it or not, their career & academic performance (except P.4 one, who is too young) are all good. Moreover, their character are all very nice & gentle.
From the father of the P.4 one, the school life of SPCC is real excellent and parents among middle-class group (there are really some very rich families) are going very well & cooperative.
I also believe co-ed is more "normal" as students can have some friends in opposite sex.
If I'm so lucky, I prefer SPCC. Of course I'm not....

各位好！我都有你地既煩惱！
我個人認為SPCC教出來的小朋友會較有規矩及低調，而DBS就較自由、創意較高亦較自信。當然兩校學術方面都同樣出色。
所以我相信兩間學校教出來的學生係兩類完全唔一樣嘅人。如果睇遠D去到大學或之後，佢地將來係事業方面嘅發展都可能好唔同。
我本身為一小商人，如果希望兒子將來從商，咁各位覺得那一間學校會較合適呢？
不過可能我已經想得太遠了......

Dear piyopiyohoho,
DBS has made similar pledge for IB program too. They are going to raise a new building to support this initiative.
By the way, DBS will implement 1 year school boarding during the secondary years. I think that is quite interesting "training" opportunity for our kids which tends to be rather overly protected nowadays.

Despite being a Chinese-medium primary school, students at SPCCPS have a strong command in English. They have quite a number of NET teachers in school (perhaps even more than those English-medium primary schools).
As someone rightly pointed out, SPCCPS also puts much emphasis on Chinese-language, and they have increased the use of PTH in Chinese lessons in the past few years. If one prefers a more balanced curriculum in the two languages, SPCC seems to meet his needs.
One more observation, music education has long been a cherished tradition at SPCC - as one might note from their list of alumni being professional musicians.
Interestingly, SPCC is also famous as a birthplace for doctors - as witnessed in the Faculty of Medicine of HKU.
Again, the above are simply observations and are not meant to say SPCC is outrightly better than others.
In fact, I would always take location an important consideration when choosing a "primary" school for my kid.
作者: chubbymami 時間: 07-12-18 12:41
If location is not the issue, you should definitely choose SPCC.
SPCC is a "well-balanced" school.
As far as I have come across all the graduates from SPCC, they are all well manner, good educated, elegant.......
SPCC is the best school in Hong Kong (it's only my personal opinion)

拔萃男書院（簡稱男拔萃、男拔；英語：Diocesan Boys' School，DBS）是基督教香港聖公會東九龍教區所設辦的一間學校，成立於1869年，設有中學部以及小學部（2004年建成），只錄取男生。香港不少官商名人於此，學生在公開考試中成績優異，在體育、學業及音樂比賽中均成績驕人，故此是一所有名的學校。拔萃男書院創校初期為私校，第二次世界大戰後，接受政府津貼，成為津貼中學。回歸後，香港政府引入直接資助制度，拔萃男書院校董會最後決定，為減少所受的限制，改為接受政府直接資助，於2003年改為直接資助學校。

Yes, the exam papers of DBSPS are generally quite “advanced” and well structured. But the problems are at the “teaching”.
1.
If you are a DBSPS parent, you will find the boys not learning much knowledge at lessons. Teachers usually teach part of the curriculum but not all and comprehensive.
2.
If a boy is going to have sports or Orchestra competitions etc., the school will demand the boy to suspend classroom lessons and to practise. Sometimes the suspension can last for 1-2 weeks.
3.
Almost all parents send their boys to “supplementary schools” 補習社.
4.
It is a boy school. Classroom discipline is another problem.
5.
In SPCC, these phenomena are less apparent.
However, the general English standard (in particular the listening and speaking skills) of DBSPS boys is excellent because the non-Chinese lessons and most ECA are conducted in English.
Maybe my info is not update enough. Please ask a DBSPS parent.

1. If you are a DBSPS parent, you will find the boys not learning much knowledge at lessons. Teachers usually teach part of the curriculum but not all and comprehensive. It is a common phenonmenon for most primary schools in HK, though some may claim to have all their curricula taught, their teaching are not merely superficial.
2. If a boy is going to have sports or Orchestra competitions etc., the school will demand the boy to suspend classroom lessons and to practise. Sometimes the suspension can last for 1-2 weeks. Participating in sport or orchestra competition is wholly optional, if boys once have made their choice, they are found to be able to manage their time for both study and practice.
3. Almost all parents send their boys to “supplementary schools” 補習社. Amongst all parents I have known, I find none having sending their boys to tutorial classes whereasmy relative's daughter, who is now studying at SPCC, has to attend tutorial class after school.
4. It is a boy school. Classroom discipline is another problem. I agree with this but it is controllable, after all they are all energetic boys

DBSPD: EMI school,but there are only 4-5 native English teachers,many students cannot be taught by NET
SPCC: CMI school,but more native English teachers,all the students have chance to be taught by NET (don't know is it correct)
DBSPD: Teach Chinese in Cantonese, only 2-3 Chinese lessons taught in PTH per week (P1-P6)
SPCC: Teach Chinese in Cantonese(P1-P3),all Chinese lessons in P4-P6 are taught in PTH
Correct me if I'm wrong.
作者: papa_pop 時間: 08-1-4 12:22
From my observation, students at SPCCPS, though a CMI school, are really good at English and PTH. There are somehow quite a number of NET teachers in school, plus a PTH-teacher/assistant in each class (at least for lower forms).
Don't have much first-hand experience with DBSPD students, but students at DPS (Kowloon Tong), an EMI school, are not really impressive in terms of their spoken English.
PS: I didn't refer to "individual" cases, but general impression.

All local 'English' teachers are supposed to speak fluent English. For those who cannot, what we could say is -- 'too bad'!

I dont agree with your impression At least those boys I know studying in DBPSD are not speaking very good English but no doubt they are good in listening as most of teachers are NET.

We should consider the mission of the school. DBS (if DBSPD follow DBS mission) is quite different from SPCC. In terms of acedemic achiement, SPCC is much better. On the other hands, DBS is btter in music and sports. I have no doubt about the English standard of DBS graduate but I have met some DBSPD students recently and finds that their English standard is average (as we expect they will be much much better than other local school). In order to be good in language or English, the best choice is German Swiss IS or other international school. I can make some suggestion.
If you live in NT, are you going to let a 6 years old kids spend 3 hours on the road to SPCC everyday ? or if you live in Aberdeen, your kids need to spend 3 hours on the road to DBSPD everyday. It is more desirable to let your kid enjoy the childhood. If your kid is smart, it desn't matter to go to which school (both of them are top school in HK) and I am certain that they will be elite in the future.

1.
據DBSPS 家長所講, DBSPS考得深, 教得淺, 所以幾乎全民皆補, 補費平均$300-800一句鐘. 2. 還有, 比賽前老師[勸諭]學生要走堂練習, 學生那敢不從? I have much reservation as to “幾乎全民皆補" & "比賽前老師[勸諭]學生要走堂練習" since I together with other parents at least up to now have not come across such situations as what you have mentioned.
3. 你是校 ...

What I have told is also factual. I have even visited one of the "tutorial schools" specially for DBSPS students. The classes are always full and many DBSPS boys are on the waiting list.
Although I have no chance to visit their sports or orchestra practice, I know that all students are "encouraged" to quit from the normal classroom lessons for weeks in order to attend practising.
As our statements are contradictory, it means either you are lying or I am lying. I urge the readers to find out the truth from the real parents in the real world.

youma,
I will stand on your side. At least from my frineds' comments on DBSPD (their boys are P.2 & 3 now),
課程肯定教得淺考得深 (深到無黎頭), 小二grammar去到小五
點消化呢? 因為小功課, 事實係好多家長去補習班, 我friend揾晒人事都係waiting list (個別補開男小拔), 而每粒鐘要hk$300. 當然都係睇家長既要求

It may be true that DBS is better at sports than SPCC but there is no way that it can be better in music.
SPCC's choirs & orchestras frequently win top awards in music festivals.

We should consider the mission of the school. DBS (if DBSPD follow DBS mission) is quite different from SPCC. In terms of acedemic achiement, SPCC is much better. On the other hands, DBS is btter in m ...

In DBS , the result of the kids are classfied as follows:
1) top one - no need to go to tutorial school
2) average one with rich parents - have private tutors or go to tutorial schools
3) below average - survive on their own
4) have sport or musical awards - can study in any class if they like (acedemic is not important). I have seen someone who get no marks in HKCE and still can go to F.6 (although not qualified for any A level exam)
5) Relationship with school (only a few) - similar to no.5
A fair comment, a lot of school put pressure on parent (DBS is not the only one). The teacher only covers the syllabus, as time is limited in school. If your kid cannot catch up, will advise you to go...Therefore most of the kids can only survive if they go to tutorial school because they have past paper (the teacher are too lazy to create new exam paper). If they have brothers in the school, no need to go to tutorial school. Therefore there are some special tutorial schools for DBS or SPCC (because they have past paper) and always full up.

好多嘢無十全十美, 學校比到一般學校比唔到既:
1)優越感
2)設備及環境
3)資源 (有好多外藉老師)
4)凝聚力 (old boys)
其他不足既唯有家長自己補足...
不過我會buy spcc多 d

SPCC is more disciplined and DBS is more flexible in
respect of rules. SPCC is moe concerned on academic
while DBS is more concerned on sports and music. Both are excellent schools in terms of resources and school
facilities in addition to famous reputation.
If the boys are talented on sports and music, they will get more satisfaction in DBS because many competitions are
held between school teams. On the other hand, if the
parents are more concerned on the future career of the
kids such as to be doctors, SPCC is a better choice.

Statements being contradictory is very often not a big deal, it could be a matter of point of view and hence does not imply either telling lie. I whereas wonder you, being a parent of neither SPCC nor DBSPC, are so concerned about the comments.
