thanks. Would you please share with me why you could choose HKUGAPs? I know it focuses on activities and projects but I am afraid my daughter may have difficulties in applying other secondary schools if she couldnt' get in the secondary school. Please help!

I will choose HKUGA. Most of the primary students can go to their secondary schools. So you don't have to worry. I've heard many good comments about the school from existing parents. One of them even gave up net 41 and move to island east to apply the school.

St.Margarets co-ed Eng 都係百份之一百直升上中學.
問題幾間學校既location都唔同, 我覺得就近入學會合理d.

I have the offers from HKUGA and TSL, would you comment which you will choose ?
作者: avbee 時間: 08-12-4 14:57
HKUGA ...but the secondary school is far away ....it is located beside st paul co-ed primary.
作者: beark 時間: 08-12-4 21:46
I heard HKUGA's academic is not strong compared to other traditional schools, so if a kid needs to apply other secondary school in P6, then he/she may have some difficulties.
Hi G-ma,
If I don't mind move to a place which is close the primary school), just by ranking these 4 schools' qualities, which one would you recommend?
I prefer new style of teaching and focus on languages.

I have no idea which is the best school but would only share I have heard from others parents and thoughts.
For 港大同學會, What I heard from the parents is this is a very good school. One mummy whose one child is in one of the very very famous local school and one child is in 港大同學會. She personally does not feel the academic is lower. She told me from the story level, they are of the same level - they share the same books and she thinks in knowledgewise and ability to understandwise they are of the same level. As for academic, it all depends how the child will react, say for example project like "weather", it could come out as a very simple topic or one can drill into difficult one like talking about the weather change, the environment that has an effect on the weather and etc. As doing project, others will question his child so this give him an opportunity to answer things in a more all rounded way .
But I am not too keen in a English as a medium of instruction in primary as I want my kids to have an opp to learn more Chines.

我仔仔係HKUGA讀緊小一, 其實我相信HKUGA及SMC各有各好的地方。我很喜歡HKUGA的學習環境, 仔仔短短3個多月, 英文及普通話都有很大的進步, 很願意講又不怕錯, 我喜歡中文小學是因為我覺得小朋友用中文學習數學及常識等比較容易吸收的。學校亦都有不少英文的題材活動增加學生的學習興趣。
另外好多人成日問讀完HKUGA可否讀返傳統中學, 我個人意見係小朋友讀了活動教學的小學點解又要轉返出去讀傳統中學呢? 家長倒不如小學已比小朋友讀傳統小學吧! 不過港同每年都有學生不升中學部去考更出名的傳統中學(津校不用學費), 所以我相信港同的學生係有能力升返傳統中學的, 只是家長怎樣的決定。
SMC我聽過都有好好的意見, 所以希望家長明白沒有完美的小學, 亦希望家長早日放返學位出來比waiting list 緊的學生吧! 早日作出決定, 大家開心。

mgwong,
What is u final choice?
I think SMC will be better because the quality of students become better.
作者: mgwong 時間: 08-12-5 13:22 標題: 回覆 # 的文章
Hi bblaw,
To me - 99% will choose SMC.(but it really to far 
How about U?
作者: G-Ma 時間: 08-12-5 13:53
我係SMC既家長, 我都認同HKUGA及SMC都係好學校, 我揀SMC係因為我住係九龍, 如果我住係香港我就一定會揀HKUGA.
我自己都鍾意新思維既教學方法, 希望唔好咁多抄寫, 死記. SMC除咗中文係用普通話教, 德育課用廣東話教之外, 其他科目包括音樂, 美勞, 體育, 早會, 周會, 運動會都全部係用英語, 學校有20%係外籍學生, 所以英語環境真係好好. 至於中文方面學校都特別加強訓練, 等學生水平可追貼外面既學校. 而且SMC仲可以多學一種外語, 又有自己既中學, 整體而言係一間不錯既學校.

請問係咪主要是印巴籍學生呢?

各國都有, 不只是印巴藉, 同事今年囝囝註冊了SMC, 佢係星加坡藉,本身說普通話&英文.

How about their secondary school? (St.Margarets co-ed Eng (KLN)
作者: beark 時間: 08-12-6 00:32
Thanks very much for all of your comments. Should the preference be as follows?
1st: St. Margaret Co-ed
2nd: HKUGA
3rd: True Light
4th: St. Clare
I would appreciate if you could provide comments on the above and I will make a quick decision. Many many thanks.
For SMC, I know most of the students could get into 2nd school as well.
Hi Monkeydad
Is your kid also studying in St. Margaret Co-ed?
Hi Mgwong,
I want my daughter to be able to understand and write chinese properly and to have some chinese traditional good character but not too traditional (very contradictory, righ?) . So I didn't choose International school at all.
SMC seems meeting my preference of new style of teaching, English environment and 1 addtional foreign language and good foundation for Chinese (as I think they should have more focus on Chinese than International school). It has students from different culture which may stimulate a kid's thinking horizon. Also, the school fee is a lot cheaper than international school.
So have you chosen HKUGA or SMC finally? Interested to talk further? How to ?pm you as I am new to this website. Thanks.

暫時只搵到聖馬加利視學報告, 你可以睇睇: http://www.edb.gov.hk/index.aspx?langno=2&nodeID=6276
hkuga肯定係未出的, 可能幾個月之內(上年5月完成評估), 要再等下
其他兩間就唔多覺.......有無媽咪搵到?

I will choose the St Clares because
it has secondary school
it is an english primary school
My colleague's daughter studies in primary and secondary school. She praised it very much in school teachers, headmistress and language development.
Small-sized education mode adopted
thanks

beark,
Yes, my boy is in P1.
I do not have much understanding on HKUGA as it is far from where I live and I did not apply upfront. However, I can share with you re. SMC.
SCM is a school that puts substantial resources and emphasis on raising students' language proficiency, both English and Chinese. It has a very good English learning environment - number of NET teachers, 100% use of English as medium of instruction except in Chinese, launch of reading program.
It is a caring school not only for students but also for parents. Load of mandatory homework is manageable, (a) not much copying and writing - just 1 page of English and 1-2 pages of Chinese per week; (b) dictation - once every 3-4 weeks in P1. However, there are quite a number of optional homework such as on-line exercises - now have English, Chinese & PTH and GS & Maths will be followed soon etc... This is entirely at parents' discretion on where they want their kids to be up to. So, the kids can be as busy as in traditional school.
The school is rather emphasized on developing the reading habits of its students. P1 students are recommended to finish reading about 40 Chinese books in 2 months time and return the record list signed by parent accordingly. It is not a must and working parents can adjust the level of completion according to their time resources. For English, it is recommended to finish 15 book reports in 2-3 month's time (app. one book per week) but the teacher would accept any amount above 5 - as kid at this level needs a great deal of parental guidiance on completing those reports. The school seems looking for something qualitative rather than quantitative.
One point I recently found out is - the way SMC teaches English in P1 is for the students to learn a "language" and not a "subject". The NET teacher encourages the students to participate in the class (theme based cirruculum)and most of the work are done during the class - no homework except reading journal and the free style high language content projects.
I have to highlight that if you are the fans of traditional education, SMC may not fit you.

Break,
I will choose St. Clare's as well. As it is an English Primary school with English Secondary school back up. The secondary section is a government aided school so no tuition fee is needed. Also, it has long history.
SMC and HKUGA is relative new. We cannot see the performance of their students in the public exam.
Please do a more detail reserach of school instead of just listening to what people said. Good luck.
作者: Charlotte_mom 時間: 08-12-7 22:49
St Clare's 同HKUGA係兩間好唔同類型既學校(其他兩間無咁清楚唔方便比較)
st clare's d 學生, 係o係校務處見到陌生人都會禮貌點頭打招呼果種(親身經驗, 我就係果個陌生人)
hkuga d 學生, o係校務處見到陌生人, 肯定唔會點頭打招呼, 因為平時對老師校長都唔係咁態度, 係哈哈哈攬埋一堆果d
你想小朋友成為知規守禮小淑女, 定係活潑好動思辯創新既小朋友, 而家就要唸清楚
作者: beark 時間: 08-12-7 23:11
Many thanks for all of your valuable comments. I have better understanding of these schools now. I need to assess which one would suit my daughter's characters and learning ability.
Hi Monkeydad,
Thanks for your detail sharing of the school life in SMC. This has helped a lot. Thanks again.
作者: popocat 時間: 08-12-7 23:31
其實樓主應收窄範圍, 先選出最可能會讀的首選&次選, 再從兩間中作決定.
講真, 你應該唔會突然把排位最後嗰間變咗首選啩! Hope you can release the vacancies of 2 schools to the child being on waiting list.
作者: carmenyukaman 時間: 08-12-27 02:07
請問你最後入咗邊間，有冇校車去港島東區?
作者: starmami 時間: 08-12-29 12:58
Dear Monkeydad,
My list on hand are only Good Hope and SFA. After I saw what you recommended here, I will also enrol SMC for my daughter. Any further suggestion beside the above? Can you share?
Which kindergarten your boy was? As I will enrol K1 for my daughter next year, I would like to see if there is any good kindergarten.
Thank you so much
