My daughter will soon be promoted to MCS secondary section smoothly, everything seem straightforward.  I don't know why she wishes to get into DGS.  I know little about DGS and felt a bit "high climb", I think she is influenced by her classmates and friends outside school.  She became another person in these few months, very eager to win especially those events awarding certificate or honours.  

I worried about the expensive sch fee and other fees to go with.  We are an ordinary family in Tai Po, not wealthy, to be frank, I am worried that she may succeed in admitted into DGS and I cannot say no or stop her.  She is preparing herself now.

Can some experienced mums advising me how to decide?  She may have her own thoughts......and I am afraid I may make a wrong decision (not going to DGS)......Mum is not always right......and I regret my own mom too......

1  How good is DGS?
2  Is it worth to study in DGS?
3  What is the difference (in performance) between these 2 sch?

Thx

女拔點樣好就無須再講啦,係好多人夢寐以求的學校,但以一個十一、二歲人仔抱著一種追逐名牌的態度去讀女拔,開始學懂用甚麽方法可以幫助自己追逐名牌,長遠計,鬥貴族化你又點夠果度啲同學仔的家底鬥,鬥叻呢個世界又「一山還有一山高」,就算MCS都有咁嘅情況,小朋友這個年齡的心態巳經同我們做家長的一樣,我覺得並非一件好事,不單衹是純粹學費金錢的問題!我的女兒倒慶幸未能high climb就讀於MCS和DGS (塞翁失馬,焉知非福),但係同學仔都非常團結、互相關心,沒有妒忌好成績,或者瞧不起情況較差的,我仍然看到一個十一歲的快樂女兒。做父母的,教子女吾係一朝一夕,可能你很長時間忽視咗就讀貴族化名校,子女所衍生的問題,我衹能同情你的情況。

"女拔點樣好就無須再講啦"
But I really don't know much about it, would you share a bit with me why is it good?
作者: mky9842    時間: 09-12-23 22:00

I am asking for some substantive info in order to make a rightful decision, do not think it other way.  

I sincerely hope some DGS parents may PM me their feelings and thoughts throughout the yrs while their girls are studying there.  Really looking forward for some help.

I would like to clarify that MCS is not what most people think, my daughter's classmates are nice and well-behaved and their parents are friendly and educated.

我唔知女拔好成點, 不過樓主你有個思想成熟, 有上進心的女兒, 你應感到開心.

坦白講,年年有幾多個10A學生係咪叫好,好似音樂、體育方面,DGS能夠提供很好的資源去幫助「有天份」的學生,例如剛剛泳隊贏得學界二十二年霸、舊年田徑總冠軍等,係咪叫做好?咁對無這方面天份的學生又如何?我唔覺得MCS讀書成績差過DGS,就算英文水平都是差不多,MCS本身都是名牌,都是好多家長想囡囡入讀的學校。我倒不如問吓你:BMW vs Lexus 你鍾意那個牌子?真正識揸車嘅人會覺得差不多,性能都係咁好,唔識揸車嘅人大多數會揀BMW。「名牌効應」當然會帶給學生和家長優勢啦,係咁簡單!

假如我囡囡係咁嘅情況,我必定先與她了解討論清楚:1.佢點解唔想讀MCS?  2.佢點解想讀DGS?How good is DGS?問佢「自己」而唔係問BK!  3.佢知唔知DGS每年學費承惠3萬8?不排除會再加,交六年(唔留級嘅話),都唔好計其他對學校贊助及學生自身補習費等等。  4.咁大件事佢係咪要得到家長同意而並不是祇是通知我?

如果佢有充份理由,而佢個人有咁嘅能力和整個家庭都能夠配合,我都會支持佢。不過,如果佢自把自為,呢啲吾係叫「成熟」,呢啲係叫做「任性」。如果佢無充份理由,只是阿同學A話好好,佢要跟埋同學去報呢啲咁嘅理由,我唔會認同佢有「上進心」,因為MCS巳經係很多人的Dream School,而佢「身在福中不知福」,我會覺得佢係「無知」,我會盡力去糾正佢。

分析中肯及處理方法很理性.  

希望樓主收到一些DGS資料後可跟阿女平心靜氣傾傾.

正如你的汽車例子, 其實根本不可以片面的說某一間學校是好過其他的,做家長的只是要給子女要找最適合自己的能力,興趣及環境便可。

我感到高興的是難得找到一些如你這樣的知音人,有時家長自己當局者迷,未必能夠很理性和中肯,不少年青人確是機靈聰敏,可惜因為家長過份溺愛,或者缺乏家長關愛等種種問題,將來有可能會誤入歧途,未免可惜!時下年青人追逐名牌心態,可能因為缺乏自信和關愛,要找人認同,結果衍生更多社會問題。正如你所說,希望樓主囡囡真的找到最適合自己能力、興趣及環境的學校,我是眞誠祝福她們。

我想女拔近10年已變了很多,亦不再是甚麼有$人讀的學校,當中住屋村,普通定庭亦大有人在,當然亦有住淺水灣,山頂的.不過無可否認成績或特異功能是最top的.
2009會考每人平均有7點幾個credit以上.

mky9842:
兩間都是數一數二的名牌學府,入到其中一間而又讀得上已經要還神啦,你個女仲可以有得揀,我估計你的女兒應該好叻。

萬千寵愛集一身的孩子,好容易會變成太有主見(或者叫任性),又或者太過依賴。

如果這個問題發生在我的身上,我只有2個問題:
(1) 一定要她解釋為何要轉DGS,如果理由既理性而且對她學業有更大幫助,我會盡力支持。如果只為陪同學或朋友的話,我一定不會答應。
(2) 究竟我的經濟能力能否應付,如果不能應付,就算第(1)點成立,我都不會答應,讀到MCS已經非常好,讀唔到DGS都不會好差啫。

以上是我個人意見,希望幫到妳。

好多名校如男/女拔, 一見到d運動or其他方面才能叻o既, 就去招手, 好似朋友個女游水叻, 女拔都招左好多次手, 但她不去! 好多c奶覺得奇加!! 有拔拔唔去,  佢同佢亞媽講, 佢係自己間中學校係甲組, 但去到拔拔就唔一定, 佢地已經有好多全港至top運動員係度.

多謝支持,你講得好啱,點解咁刻意去比較蘋果和橙,根本無嘢係絕對,事物相對換過角度睇可能更海濶天空,無必要鑽牛角尖。況且我諗佢真正問題並不是究竟蘋果好定橙好,如果大人自己都亂晒龍,點幫到仔女。希望樓主不要見怪。

對greendotdot要百萬個鼓掌, 當年都是自已的盲從附和, 差點害了小朋友, 我想如樓主女兒學業超卓, 在這兩校都可成頂尖, 如只是用特異功能入某名校的話, 何不在原校做頭籌,好過在別校做後備啦啦隊 .........
作者: pp6113    時間: 09-12-28 17:56

其實如果成績是卓越的,,相信係DGS或MCS都一定好標青,而且一山還有一山高,點解要比較呢?
我真係幾奇怪個句cannot say no or stop her, 因為如果未讀之前已經感覺到學費貴或要考慮負擔其他雜費的能力,點解唔可以同個小朋友解釋,因為佢似終是一個11歲到的小朋友,唔係太清楚價值觀,而且牽涉到金錢問題是否應該要得到家長的認同?

是不是福氣現在不敢下定論, 只不過眼見小朋友的學姐及學兄, 用特異功能進入某頂級名校, 其實校內成績只是band2-3, 中一第一年已留級, 最好笑是問起那家長某位特異功能的同一sports term 頂班人, 今年20,讀form幾??? 她的孩子說無人知佢讀form 幾, 但今年20尚未考會考.其實不是常常返學, 所以所為名校只有10%成績超卓, 另10%特異功能超卓,橫掃學界取獎而出名.又有一次在某比賽場地, 某名校啦啦隊學生笑mcs同學, 只是讀書好叻,運動好廢.....聽到馬上火燒心.

恭喜妳, 妳有一個有上進心的女兒, 眼光亦放得遠. 很多家長, 根本不明白一個十一, 二歲的孩子, 可以有多成熟, 多識想. 她們藉著和同學一起相處時交流意見, 加上聯校活動, 對聯校的認識, 比我們在bk取經所知的, 了解更深入, 更全面.


非常同意.

為何想讀女拔就被視為追求名牌? 轉去女拔就一定要做
'蘿底橙"?

樓主的女兒是一個P6生, 姑勿論佢有幾了解女拔, 佢從課外活動認識女拔的學生, 受到影響, 努力爭取表現獎項, 增加入讀心儀中學的機會,  這些舉動很正面, 也是時下千千萬萬個家長包括我自己鼓勵子女要做的. 看得出樓主女兒是個對自己好有要求嘅人.

樓主可能要從經濟能力及女兒性格去考慮是否適合讀.

記得小四時,小兒成績極好,到小五時因有同學打算投考聖保羅男女中學,他亦有此意,但他試過由屋企到中學,最少個半小時,即每天要花超過三小時交通往返學校,太辛苦勒,便放棄了。

小五時成績跌了,但要入讀一般英中他是無問題,尤其他小學每年都有五六十人入讀嘅英中,但他决意入讀本區band one頭英中,結果小六成績比小四還好,最終不但如願入讀,並且入了最精英的一班。

上學至今,他體會到甚麽是一山還有一山高,以小兒英文成績而言,我是從來不担心的,但中文和數學,比起他現在的同學,就實在差了,剛统測完,小兒成績,只能位列班裡中游。

最近小兒和我說,他打算用中文寫一中篇小說,這在以前是不可能的,以往他只會用英文寫作,他現在肯多讀中文書,中文確比小六時好多了,而且比小學時更專心學業,這些轉變我相信是他入讀了一間他喜歡的好學校,而不是他貪慕虛名。

我想講嘅係,讀甚麽學校都應由孩子的能力和鬥心決定,dgs都有學費減免,金錢不是問題,至於她是否貪慕虛名,這是家教問題,與學校無關,band3學校貪慕虛名的學生一定不少於dgs。

I am a DGS old girl, graduated in the 1990's, and am now the mother of a 2.5 year-old boy.  I know quite a number of Maryknoll alumni and am pretty familiar with the things in both DGS and MCS.  I think I can share with you some of the differences I have observed between the two schools.

While most of the girls in both schools are smart, I think DGS girls are generally more tough and independent.  In a way, you can say that Maryknollers are more modest and gentle.  But I have the impression that they do tend to be more reliant, especially on seeking help from guys.  In my old school days when organizing joint school activities, DGS girls would insist on doing everything by themselves, even for moving heavy furniture and things like that.  But Maryknoll girls would not hesitate to ask the boy schools to help.

In terms of the school culture, there is a strong sense of achievement in DGS.  Maryknoll, as I see it, is relatively more relaxed.  While I agree that winning awards in interschool competitions and having top scholars in public exams does not account for everything, it is in fact not difficult to notice that DGS is relatively conspicuous in these achievements.  DGS is always the top few schools in sports, music, debating and academics.  I think Maryknoll girls are no less, but the school is perhaps more low-profile.  

When I was there, I had classmates coming from almost all other reputable girls schools (like MCS, St Mary's, Good Hope, St Stephen's Girls, St Paul's Convent, Sacred Heart, Heep Yunn, Ying Wa Girls, etc).  I dare not say DGS is better than the others.  But in general DGS has a "bigger name".

In conclusion, one can't say whether DGS or MCS is better.  If your girl is more of an achiever and is very self-motivating, I believe DGS will unveil her potential further.  But if she is the more relaxed type, MCS may suit her better.

Hope the above helps.

係呢到看到很多為咗子女讀書和前途感到焦慮的家長,也有一些公認有這方面豐富知識而肯花心機和時間去幫忙別人的有心人,我自認不是專家,唔輪到我上嚟認叻、搏掌聲,不過如果有啲係我知道嘅,有時間我會上嚟幫吓手答吓,正如人地曾經幫過我一樣。不過遇到一些深入問題時,我會嘗試站在當事人的處境去諗吓,唔會隨便噏兩句便當幫忙。

好似樓主呢個case,我覺得可能係管教出咗問題,建議樓主好好了解個女的真正動機,才能配合其他條件去決定支持或勸阻個女。樓主初時衹是想知道DGS係好MCS幾多,值唔值得?並沒有正視她11歲的女兒有多成熟,乜嘢令佢突然間係幾個月內變咗另一個人!如果一個還未踏入反叛期的小妹妹巳經開始當媽咪無到,就算佢叻到識飛咁又點?入到女拔做到尖子咁又如何?

講俗啲,我唔係阻人發達,唔係憎人富貴厭人窮,誰可以讀名校都唔關我事,討好人可以幾咁容易做!未了解樓主囡囡的背景和真正動機,便大讚佢一番未免言之尚早。讀呢啲直資名校家庭的財務情況,必定是最重要因素,家長不能以為見步行步便行,諗吓一個讀得上的學生讀到中四,家長話再無錢交學費要佢轉校,佢會幾失望!咁可以申請減免喎!減免都有兩種,「考第一」的一種和「家貧」的一種,如果我自己屬於「考第一」果種,你話我為爭取好成績去年年renew的壓力有多大;如果我自己屬於「家貧」果種,我梗唔想全班都知,咁算唔算自卑?

用買車作例子, 是誤導. 因為大家已標籤了孩子是為慕名牌而轉校. 為何不想想, 女兒寧願離開一間有六年感情的學校, 是因為追求卓越? 做父母不是應該全力支持嗎?


我以汽車品牌為例,BMW 和 Lexus 都是名牌 (DGS 和 MCS 都是名牌 ),真正手車好和識車嘅人,會覺得兩個品牌的車的性能一樣,無得頂(識嘢嘅人都知道 DGS 和 MCS 的學生好好,不用懷疑,唔會去比較);半桶水的司機和唔識揸車的人大多數揀BMW **舉例-希望無得罪人**(因為「其他人」衹知道現在的DGS個名響過MCS個名,所以會話DGS好過MCS),就是因為這些「其他人」佔大多數,所以就算你無特異功能又唔係最top的學生都好,能夠入讀女拔巳經起碼多了這種優勢,這是我理解的所謂「名牌效應」。你可以話我中文學藝不精,名牌效應個「效」字寫錯咗呢個「効」,或者理解錯誤,但是你憑乜嘢話我「誤導」呢?以我理解,如果我明知某樣嘢係錯嘅,但仍然蓄意朝着這個方向引導大家去犯錯,這才叫做「誤導」!「誤導」是一種令人可恥的行為,如果你認為我有咁嘅意圖,請你舉證,如果不能夠舉證,請不要隨便「以言入罪」!多謝

想閣下也是位重德輕利之家長,在這方面上我面是一致的,只是我們之間的分歧在於對貪慕虛榮有不同的理解而矣!

在我而言追求物質生活,崇尚名牌者才是貪慕虛榮。而求學不彷從虛幻開始,望能以現實告終,牛津、耶魯發夢無彷,若能實踐,那有放棄之理呢?

而你將選校為契機,藉以教化引導,以防子女虛荣心越陷越深,也设有錯。

我兩所提之意見,只是A和B之選擇,彼此设有高底對錯之分。

若本人之言論有令閣下不快,在此說句對不起!

閣下言重,請不要誤會,令你誤會我說句對不起才是。我從來不反對追求卓越、有夢想,這是不可缺的人生目標,給自己上進的原動力,我衹是理性地覺得,要追求這個目標,有很多方向給我們選擇,如果條件適合,入讀名牌學校是其中的一個選擇,如果動機祇是為了順應潮流、或者條件不適合仍然強求,我自己一定不會選擇,我曾經在劍橋、牛津、哈佛、麻省理工等世界頂級名校的校園,實地感受過真正追求卓越的動力,並不是我們現在係虛擬世界所討論的一回事,所以你們如果真正有心和有能力,能夠在這些地方快樂求學,一生何求?

可能我表達得唔好,冒犯了一些正在就讀名校、或者名校校友、或者準備投考名校的同學和家長,在此說句對不起!請勿誤會而對號入座。

謝謝smallpanda 的分享,使我更了解DGS。我個人覺得,每個孩子的特點不同,應當選擇適合他們的學校,而且經濟也是要量力而行。每個中學都是盡力培養孩子們,都很好。成績和成就不能代表一切。關鍵是孩子可以在求學階段,更了解自己,能成爲有責任感,有自我約束力,有自學能力的人。

人地只想比較間學校, 何以見得樓主管教出問題? 你又憑什麼武斷樓主個女11歲必定不成熟, 當媽咪無到?
無論出於什麼動機, 有上進心已值得欣賞, 抵讚!
樓主話佢係普通家庭, 無話比唔起學費, 只想衡量值唔值, 只係你覺得唔值.
無錯, 真正識野嘅人都知兩所學校嘅分別, 唔使多加解釋.
誤導都有分蓄意同無意, 我諗你係無意嘅.


算罷,如果我認自己「郢書燕說」,會減少你的不悅,咁咪當我係啦,我唔想無無謂謂咁為咗爭啖氣,再浪費時間糾纏於字裹行間的意思。

或者我再「武斷」多一次,家長及同學選校時,不妨先想想「一葉障目,不見泰山」。拜拜!

DGS is more high-profile than any other famous girl schools, including MCS
作者: viv-viv    時間: 10-1-8 10:25

I am just a passer-by and got interested in the topic.  To declare  the interest, I am a MCS old girl.

Frankly I cannot recall much about DGS but for sure DGS promotes the idea of development of self-independence, elite performance, high-profile, and aggressive (if not like this word better say it to be highly proactive) persuit of one's own dream and perfection.  Other DGS old grils please correct me if I am wrong.

For MCS, for sure their main belief is liberty of self-development.  It is a low profile and caring school.  It will not "push" with a program, but it promotes self-realization.  If you want to be good in academics, then go ahead and find your way.  If you want to be good in music and sports, then go work hard to find your way to success (not exactly meaning a compulsory achievement of honours, prizes or fame).  The school wants girls to work out the definition one by one.  So if you want to be a bad guy in the school, the Catholic belief is to give counselling and coaching to lessen the damage but will not expel the kid out of school.  (Hence there are extreme cases of girls, both to the good and bad sides).

Actually there is nothing wrong with both elite schools and what they are promoting are good.  It really depends on how the students themselves (not their parents especailly in the secondary section when girls have their own thinking and analytical power) see if the school fits them.  

樓主 should really discuss with her girl.  See why she insists to change from MCS to DGS.  There must be something she craves for that cannot be provided by MCS.  See what that "reason(s)" trigger(s) her and if that "reason(s)" sounds valid and sensible.

I don't think 樓主 spoils her girl at this momoent.  So those who have responded please stop attacking her.  She sounds caring but innocent.  If 樓主 listens to her girl's explanation but the "reason(s)" are crazily unreasonable and she further agrees with her girl's thoughts to persue switching to DGS, then of course it is not a case that worths helping.

Please kindly don't attack if anyone disagrees.  Thank you.

DGS is more high-profile than any other famous girl schools, including MCS

Just one more information for 樓主, I was brought up all along from MCS primary up to matriculation (F6) before I went into the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the early 1990s.

At my time, no kids would want to switch to DGS.  Girls with very strong academic and/or music potentials would try switching to St. Paul Co-education or St. Mary.  If about sports, girls stayed in MCS to fight (they have quite a good spirit).

I'm quite interesting in the girls at your time preferring in switching to St. Mary's as they were at the same academic level, do you mean that the music fields elaborated by St. Mary's is a bit higher than MCS?

St. Mary had good Music teachers who taught Music as one of the HKCEE subjects direct at school.

MCS did not have that arrangement.  They only let you apply for examination but did not have study support.  I myself did not switch to St. Mary even though I was working hard on music, too.  Only because I got a seat with the Government's Centralized Scheme of Music course to study outside school on Saturdays free and still took Music as one of the subjects in the HKCEE.

In fact not a lot of schools have Music teachers to provide such academic support to kids for the preparation of HKCEE music exams.  St.  Mary had a long tradition for that.  At that time, music classmates of the government's course had girls from DGS and St. Paul's Co-education and they told me their teachers also did not set up classess for the HKCEE exams.  I don't know if this is still true in MCS, DGS and St. Paul's Co-education now.

Thanks so much for your details.

That's why I heard that St. Mary's requires Grade 5 Music level for the  F.1 students when entry.
