These two schools are most of the parents' dream school. Does anyone know the advantages of them? Why do so many people want them?
Any advices?

Compare to both schools, what the strengthen of them?
I found that ian (from bk) who always share SH's matters with us. However, it is seldom to see others share SPK. I really want to know more about SPK. Anyone can share with us?
Thanks a lot.

I was planning to keep my mouth shut
for this topic but since my name is being mentioned then I try to share some experience with you.
I think last year I notice the same situation where I can find many SHCK parents sharing their experience with SHCK but there are less information available for the SPK side.
The following may give you some insights of why there are more information from SHCK:
(1) Those parents who take the kids to SHCK will have more chances to meet the teachers and so more interactions with them.
(2) We have parents-teachers association in SHCK so lot more sharing and communication can be done with the school management. The meeting minutes are distributed to all parents so information is very transparent.
Actually, I think many bk parents know last year I have raised a similar question to try to compare SHCK and SPK too. At the end, I found myself quite stupid to raise such topic as I realize majority of parents would choose SPK over SHCK if they have offers from both. I even done statistics to keep track since I know many parents who are lucky to have both offers and at the end, all those I know took the offers from SPK. Certainly there are exceptions, but very few only.
Basically the two kindergartens are very different in style. SPK is more relax and let children to enjoy learning, and not teaching phonics in K1. SHCK has more assignments to do and start teaching phonics in K1. Some parents who chose SPK over SHCK, they may prefer SHCK over SPK within their mind. However, opportunity to get to SPCS is too good to give up and SPK is the path to reach it.
One clear difference is SPCS (primary) is full-day and a English primary school, while SHCS are half-day and Chinese primary school. I think I saw another parent raised this again and I think this is a distinct differences on nowadays parents' preference. Most would prefers full-day primary school and using English as medium of instruction.
I try not to impose any of my personal view to you as much as possible so hopefully these information can help you.

Ian is a very good daddy, he provides lots of valuable information in this forum.
I am one of SPK parents. My daughter is K1 so I am still new to this school. I would like to share as much as possible here:
1. Interview questions:
Some parents share their experience here:
http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/vie ... tra=page%3D1&page=1
One of parent mentioned following which I cannot agree more
(a)自己train好個小朋友
1.禮貌
2.笑容
3.能對答一般問題
4.獨立
(b)家長要了解一下spk是那一類形的學校
1.對答方面最好夫婦相方
2.了解學校的理念
3.作答以自信自然真情流露
2. Criteria:
It is true that SPK prefers big girls/boys. One of the reasons is that SPK relies more on kids to communicate with parents, e.g. teacher always asks my girl to bring things to school, there is no memo. If my daughter forgot but she saw others did, she will remember next time.
SHCK has no such criteria, I know a small girl with birthday in December is doing well in SHCK. I heard that since SPK and SHCK are catholic schools, so SPK will not take the kid who is K1 in SHCK but want to repeat K1 in SPK (to be a big girl/boy). I know one of the disappointed mami.
SPK students are from different backgrounds. So rich/average/poor family has equal chance.
3. School life
- 活動時間:星期一至五: 上午班 – 八時三十分至正午十二時/下午班 – 一時至四時三十分
-. School bus: my daughter takes school bus so she knows lots of friends from other grades, even from primary.
- after arrive school, all the kids play in the 操場. It gives even more chances for kids to make more friends.
- after sing “good morning” song, all kids go to the classroom.
4. Teachers:
In SPK, am teachers work in the morning and pm teachers work for pm section. Each class has 2 teachers. There is no NET or Putonghua teacher in SPK.
5. Facilities:
At K1, my daughter does activities in 活動室, 娃娃室, 音樂室, 視聽室, 遊戲室, 美勞室. They will have chance to use swimming pool next year.
6. Academic:
Simple but enough for me. If you are looking for a school that can train your kids to understand hundred/thousands of Chinese/English words, dictation everyday, then SPK is not your cup of tea.
7. Boys in SPK
Since SPC is a girl school, so there are only a few boys in SPK. SPK arranges all the boy in the same class. In my daughter’s class, there is no boy. Every boy will receive reference letters from Sister when they are K3. Some boys will transfer to St Joseph KG at K2.
8. K3 to primary
Around 90% of SPK girls will be promoted to SPC. I heard 12 girls were accept by DGJS last year, a few got seats from St Paul Co-ed. This year, one of K3 mami told me only in her daughter’s class, there are 5 girls got 2nd in chance from DGJS.
Overall, SHCK and SPK are good schools. I am a very lucky parent. One of the mami in this forum has said “School is only the hardware, parents play an important role to build in the software”.
I hope above helps.

It's great to have the new generation SPK parents like Sumyeema1 so more information can be available about SPK. The information is very detail so it should help you on deciding which one is closer to your expectation. If you are interested to know the daily school life in SHCK then I may need to find time to write it since there is a detail schedule which they provide and quite a lot of activities in SHCK (trust me, really a lot
).
But I agree it is very resourceful that Sumyeema1 has list these for your reference, so let me know if you are interested.
Sumyeema1, if you don't mind I think there are two corrections on your message:
(1) Although SPK and SHCK are both Catholic, but they are not in the same organization so there are no conflicts to accept SHCK students by SPK. In fact, I remember there is at least one SHCK K1 student repeating K1 now in SPK (too much assignments to do at SHCK).
(2) Concerning the part about boys in SPK, I believe the reference letters are no longer being distributed since few years ago. It's better to check with current boys students at SPK to confirm.
At last, thanks for the compliment and you too is a great mother who are willing to share so much information with other parents.
Ian

SH vs SPK
我心中其實有另一個疑問
成日都有人提到 DGJS / St Paul Co-ed.
係咪真係一山還有一山高呀?
好似 stepping stone 咁過彼岸, 對嗎?
作者: invitation 時間: 09-12-9 14:55
Dear Ian,
讓我補充小小資料, 我最近問過一個k3男生的家長, 佢有收到學校出的reference letter. 所以今年都有信, 不過先幾年和過幾年我就唔知啦.
另外, 如果有幸同時被spk和sh取錄的人, 多數都會去spk, 可以想像. (1)入咗spk, 到升小學時如果想轉去聖心小學, 還有些機會, 因為上下午校都會收生, 可以去考上午私校(雖然位唔多,不過仍會招生) 或者去抽下午津校. 但相對(2)入咗sh,到升小學想去spcc,機會係細好多.

我與妳的處境也是一樣,不知道什麼的學校才對小女最好,有的語言好,有的語文好,像spk就是訓練獨立能力好,而SHCK就較平均,真是各有優點。
因此,我曾想過同時讀兩間,不過就好像辛苦了孩子。真是煩惱。

聖保祿同聖心是兩間唔同的學校.
1. 聖保祿學費比聖心貴, 跟據教育署資料, St Paul 老師人工比聖心高, 91%教師有7年以上經驗老師流失率非常低. St Paul 將每一班分+五人一組, 分兩位老師分開教.
聖心 50% 老師有 7 年以上經驗, 18% 4-7 年, 32% 少於4 年, 低年班一位老師, 一位助教, 助教通常經驗比較少, 有時控制幼兒有少少困難, 但基本上都充滿愛心及有教學熱誠.
2. 聖心用出版社出的書, 有學習困難可自己買 CD 温習. St Paul 用自己篇寫的書, 小朋友耍上堂非常留心, 因不會預先派自制書所以派回來的成績可充實反映小朋友的程度.
3. 聖心上堂文具公家一齊用, St Paul 每年都要買一套文具, 每一件都要貼上自己名字,K1已開始要自己看管自己的文具. 跟小學生一樣但三年後屋企會多了很多套木顏色,水彩筆及其他文具.
4. 聖心星期六有興趣班, 家長教師會有小圖書館可借玩具及書. 聖保祿放學後及星期六無興趣班. 無家長教師會
5. 聖保祿放學在課室門口放, 家長有心接放學應該每日都可以見到老師. 聖心應該是學校大堂接放學(搭校車不太肯定)
6. ST Paul 小學是一間私校, 中學是一間直資學校, 耍交學費. 小六巳不參加派位, 所以小五, 小六已不用呈分, 小朋友只需考試合格便可升班. 小朋友及家長無考試壓力, 學校可因材施教, 不用重覆教學大綱.
聖心小學分私校及津校部, 中學是津校. 由於耍參加派位, 到小五家長及小朋友要努力溫習, 保持名次, 到小五及小六會跟其他津校家長一樣要保持小朋友水準. 所以到小五及小六家長及小朋友壓力會比較大
7.St Paul小學 返全日, 大部份功課及線習會在學校做完, 放學後非常少功課. 聖心返半日, 放學後比較多時間用.
8. 聖心小學+多年前巳有計劃全日, 但到今年仍未轉, 有小小前境不明朗.
因畢業多年可能不是最 update 資料

hi yin725,
as you said, different people have different standards. a school which your kid can fitin well is the good school for her/him.
we all know the good school's names, but i don't know which one is the best.

多謝咁多位spk家長分享! 我有一個clear 的 picture啦!
我可以無私咁對囡囡付出, 但點都有底線! 有左呢d資料, 我可以評估到自己家庭的輸出 (係愛同關係), 對囡囡的期望 (我可能有的自私)!
tks.
補充:
當年我搜集的資料有誤, interview時答了"家校合作"及"開心學習","生活教材"呢d廢話, 應該答:我囡囡有比較主動同獨立的性格, 我地想佢呢個優點更加能發揮, 亦相信學校可能提供到合適的學習條件

The youngest girls, who could get into K1 in September, were before 3. They were borned in late September and October.
作者: halui 時間: 09-12-9 20:55
Hi Everybody,
I am also a parent of SPK K1. I am so glad to see much infomation about both good schools here. As I know, the information from SPK parent is not much in BK. So, I think this topic can let the other parents know more about such good kindergarten.
I think though SPK has no Mandarin in K1-k3, or Phonics in K1, it still has much attraction. It is needless to say the linkage of SPC. I think the kindergarten also pays much effort to strengthen some virtues that we should not overlook. They include the positive attitude and incentive to learn, reliablility, as well as confidence. This is of course not shown in the cirriculum but SPK tries to let our kids build up these goodness by different class activities and get themselve ready for SPC. This is important for the growth of children.
By the way, I also want to rise out one common point of SPK pupils i see beside the months of birth. It is maturity. Many of them are matured. I saw very few girls cried in the first day of kindergarten. Most of them were self-disciplined and eager to answer the teacher questions in the class. I even heard one girl talked to her daddy after the first day of schooling " Thank you for the school, daddy". So matured!
Anyway, I think both are good kindergartens. It is difficult to say which is good, as it depends on what things you weigh. Dont put too much pressure on you and your kids. Thus, be rested for interviews and leave it to God. Good Lucks!

補充 SPK 老師年資,根據SPK web-site 老師年資如:
25年 21 位
20年 12 位
15年 2 位
10年 3 位
5年 4 位
我想應該都沒有太多幼稚園有這麼多老師有25年年資.

Sometimes, I do not know why there were so many parents comparing two or three kinders.
I am very simple. I must apply and go for interview wherever the schools are good and then decide where to go after getting the results.
In this example, if SH gives you an offer but SPK will not give you, the decision should be very simple. Reversely, it is the same. You only need to do a comparison when both kinders accept your kids.
I read from the other threads that some parents applied 13 kinders and some of them applied ten. This must be a good strategy.

Just want to ask if drawing really plays an important part in SPK ?
My friend told me SPK has accepted 2 big big girls (born in 9/04) from SHCK who had completed K1, for K1 at SPK two years ago. These two girls (K2 now) are having problem in drawings and behavior problem and the parents are asked to pay special attention in this area. She told me an incident that I feel the way the teacher handled, is not good to a kid. Kids were asked to draw tiger, unfortunately, the ex-SHCK kid could not draw nicely. Then the teacher held up the picture and asked how other kids felt like about that animal. Some classmates said it looks like a cat. If it is true, I feel that the teacher seems not having a heart. You know.... drawing is a creative topic and very personal. We should not discourage the kids by 公開評審 their "masterpieces".
If drawings is really having an important role in SPK, parents please take note and prepare your kids with the drawing course beforehand.

Hi weisscarton,
Thank you so much for the information but hope you don't mind if I provide a small update on point 1.
Since my daughter is in NC this year (K1) and now they have 2 teachers plus one assistant in the class. The assistant is not in-experienced but on the contrary more experienced ones.
And as you have corrected already, the tuition fees at SHCK has increased since they have added more English (four) and PTH (two) teachers now. Education come with a cost I guess. That's life I assume!
Thanks again for your contribution and I guess I can slip away from this thread now. hehe

May I ask SPK parents that do your girls attend other classes to strengthen their language, e.g. English, PTH...?

Hi Sum107,
SPK 已參加學前教育學券計劃, 家境清貧及無力負擔學費者,可申請政府學前服務繳費資助. 每月收費 (HK$2354.00 - 學券) = a little bit more than HK$1000.
SPK does not provide 茶點.
There is no other monthly charge.

聖保祿幼稚園,小學除了學費,每年交幾百元雜費,買文具,簿及影印,聖保祿學費二千幾,無可能每月要六千多,你聽很多人說的可能是另一家學校.
SPK 是教會學校,修女收學生是要家長應同學教教學理念,對家長是否有錢人根本不是收生重點.幼稚園學生不會帶錢上學,而且文具,書包大家都是同一款,小朋友根本無比較,點會分有錢,無錢.

另, 我亦聽到很多朋友說SPK好睇家長是否有錢人, 他們偏向收取較有錢的學生, 是真的嗎? 若屬實, 我擔心小朋友 ...
冇6千幾咁多, 我唔覺 SPK 多雜費.

這是St. Paul Co-ed 小學學費 或 St. Paul Nursery 的費用

hi yin725,
in my case, i did not send my daughter to any learning center yet.
at home, my daughter can communicate with grandma in PTH, and helper in english.
i let her go to big playground whenever i have time. so she can make friends with kids from different nationalities. you will find it's easier for kids to pick up language when they play.

Hi Sum107,
Let me say something fair as a non-SPK parent. The luxury cars queue was a phenomenon for St. Paul's Convent long long time ago! It shouldn't have such case now anymore (as Sisters have requested the parents not to do so, my niece studies in SPCS). But we all know as we live in Hong Kong, some rumours can pass on through generation and people never get the updated information only. So don't be bothered with that.
On the other hand, I don't think there are any miscellaneous fees with SPK, it is possible that amount is close to the SPN tuition fees (around 65,000 per year now).

ST Paul學生分佈全港, 小朋友有住在新界、九龍及香港。 小朋友返學有坐校車, 巴士, 地鐵,亦有住得遠家長揸車送返學, 通常塞車因為大家都是最後十分鐘到, 大家都想將車停正大門, 所以才會有車龍. 差不多每朝都有交通警維持秩序, 每架車停下少於兩分鐘, 大家趕返學, 我想無人會得閒停下研究架車牌子及型號. 小朋友一到學校門口已急不及待趕入去同自己朋友玩。

嘩!好多人講到St Paul 門口好多名車接送咁壯觀!講真我都係放學時見過Benz, BMW....泊在門口,仲唔止一兩架, 係好多架,但係.....'多'代表係幾多? 名車接送嘅絕大部分係幼稚園和小學, 两間加起近1,500個學生, 每天有150架名車接送都係10%, 你話多唔多? 我就話搭校車嘅多好多, 睇睇棉登徑沿沿不絕St Paul 學生排隊上校車咪仲壯觀!

I guess we shouldn't get carried away by this long car queue anymore.
The reason why Sum107 mentioned it is only because she worries if there are a large population of rich people studying in SPK and that would create pressures to her child, if lucky to be accepted. So, whether or not there is a car queue and what kind of cars those are is not the key factors for discussion.
Sum107, I can tell you it should not be so serious anymore and the family background of the children should be more balanced now. Of course there are always rich and really rich people sending their children to school, so this can't be prevented.
But having said that, I think parents who would send their children to SPK will mostly be in financially sound situation. If comparing to other children studying in gov't aided schools from primary to secondary school, SPCS students will be paying tuition over 10 years. This is really depends on parents looking at things from different angle. Of course if you compare to studying in Braemar Hill or ISF, the tuition is very low.
So, just collect more information and make the decision for yourself. I wish you good luck and the very best!
Ian

Agreed to Ian. Actually, parents don't have to consider how to choose between these 2 KGs at the moment. These are the 2 most popular KGs for girls in HK, there are fierce competition. I believe eventually less than 10% of the parents will need to make the difficult choice.

Hi Sum107,
When you say 最後選擇, are you considering attending only one of the interview? Since obviously both kindergartens have closed their application already.
At the end, only 180 children will be admitted by either kindergarten this year and both will have an acceptance rate below 10%. Based on the statistics I collected last year, eventually only 20-30 children are accepted by both kindergartens and need to make the decision. So, if you will attend both interviews anyway, I suggest you to let the child attend the interview first and see their reaction. It's too soon to think now if you intend to attend both interviews anyway.
Last year, my daughter made the decision of attending SHCK herself as she fell in love with the environment and teachers. The reason why I need to ask how to compare SHCK and SPK last year is because of my daughter's strong will on SHCK and I wasn't sure whether I should still attend SPK's interview. Sometimes they are the one who need to go to school, not us. So I am glad that I listen and respect her decision. Hopefully this can make it easier for you!

iantsang,
You really read my mind.
我只係想喺我作最後選擇前作各方面嘅了解, 不過都係嗰句, 收左先有得諗

Hi Sum107,
I agree with you that parents should have better understanding of the kindergartens rather than just following the brand-name effect.
Hope your daughter be more co-operative in the interviews to come! Meanwhile, take a short break from further thinking first since mentally both your daughter and you may need a break to refresh for later interview.

Hi Ian,
我當然會去晒兩間interview啦, 因為我個女interview時唔太合作, 所以我先要報多幾間...
你見我我每次都加左句"收左先有得諗".
一方面知道兩間都唔易入, 另一方面都好想知多啲我地為囡囡報嘅學校係點, 唔係 ...
