作者: tumtum 時間: 11-10-29 20:07

Yes, received letter today, second interview Nov 14 pm, unrelated to the school

作者: tumtum 時間: 11-10-29 21:54

Seems like this year's second in format has changed again, as the letter said parents and child will be interviewed together. I believe last year only parents were interviewed in 2nd round, and 3 pairs each time.

作者: porkma 時間: 11-10-29 22:03

tum tum, what is the meaning of unrelated to school?

作者: tumtum 時間: 11-10-29 22:19

oh, by unrelated I mean parents not alumni and no sibling studying or studied there

作者: fabmom 時間: 11-10-31 00:06

2nd interviewon 15 Nov. Letter did mention that parents and child will be interviewed together. Seems not the same format as in last year (said to be 5 pair of parents to discuss topics raised by principal in group). Hope parents who completed 2nd in will share the information here.

Confirmed with a mommy with kids in SSCPS that the interview letters will be sent out in batches. Actually many of my friends have not received them.

Also, for the ones that are interviewing early, it is possible that the admission letters will be sent out before Christmas, so no need to wait till Jan 2012.

I also got second interview. My wife is not keen to go though.. she says its too far.

for those parents who are going for second interview, can you share your thoughts on this? do you think its worthwhile sending your kid to a school that far? it would mean at least one hour on the school bus each morning and afternoon...

作者: porkma 時間: 11-11-10 10:20 標題: 回覆 1# Arkcocoon 的文章

The school is really far away! Children need to get up early in the morning and come home late. The travelling time costs more than one and a half hours. Terrible!!!!!!!!!!

My girl is in am class in KG, so there's no pbl for her to wake up early.  At first, she was very tired after school, so she slept in school bus.  Later, she adapted to it loo~

I know parents who move to Island East to go to St Stephens.  I also know parents who give up the offer because the school is far away and other reasons.

Good luck!

As discussed by many people, it looks like SSCPS will send out 2nd interview letters by batch. Siblings-candidates got them first, then another batch...so forth, they will hold interview till the end of November.

So, don't give up hope. You may still receive letter.

From a positive point of view, there is still Nov 28, 29 and 30 for 2nd interviews.

It's still early to say this. Keep your spirit up! Not only may your kid get the offer, but also if not, being able to enter into 2nd in, means you have very high chance to 'knock the door' and get the place at last!

Hi CandytheMom, TumTum and Che, please could you share with me why you like this school? Most grateful for your sharing... coz I've been hearing a lot of -ve things about the school..

thanks again.

作者: tumtum 時間: 11-11-18 10:21

I like it because of its balanced curriculum (no crazy amount of homework and tests), language focus on both english and putonghua (I think English will always be very important so I want my kid to be good at it), pleasant school natural environment.

Just curious what are the negative things that you have heard about the school?

作者: Arkcocoon 時間: 11-11-18 10:24

thanks tumtum.

-ve things i heard mainly:
- kids are very free and "wild"
- even though classes are easier than traditional schools the tests are not, and therefore actually pressure is higher to perform well
- pressure to do lots of ECA

and of course for me the long travelling time (45 mins each way) is also a concern...

作者: che 時間: 11-11-18 10:55

提示: 作者被禁止或刪除內容自動屏蔽

作者: CandyTheMom 時間: 11-11-18 11:31

What we like about the school:
- balanced curriculum (high standard but not pushy to students. You'll know when you see the text books and worksheets)

- good school management (the three major personnel: Principal, Mr. Wong & Mr. Kam are closely working together) and teachers have very good standard (apart from NET, PTH teachers all have Edu dept cert. i.e. they acquire the high standard to teach CHinese in PTH)

- excellent environment to bring children closer to the nature (this is sth you can't buy even with lots of $$$, & you can't underestimate the positive impact on the children with this in the long run)

- lively, allow children to be themselves at their age. e.g. children could run around in the playground during lunch time (honestly only two schools I know allow this).
- PTH teaches Chinese and very high English teaching standard still.

What may be a concern:
- distance to home
- school fee
- they say since secondary school (S4) will change to IB & will modify the primary school's curriculum to fit this, but I am not sure how many years it is going to take before they could implement in the primary school.

In short, I think SSCPS is a very good school in terms of many aspects if you buy the above I mentioned.

- 'Free and wide'? I think the school gives freedom to the children on physical aspects. They also have high moral standard & cultivate in teaching.

- 'pressure...'? In SSCPS, their exam is only three days: one subject one day, 45 min for each paper; unlike traditional schools which spilt into Chi. composition, Chi reading comprehension, Chi dictation, revision of Chi book chapter 1-5 etc. etc....

Anyway, if you investigate more, you'll have a more thorough idea of what the school is like.

BTW, we are only candidate, not currently studying there.

I also believe that it is actually a very good school with a long history, but more of a "niche" school and not often mentioned and not as popular mainly due to its location. The HK$65k school fee is another factor.

I know of a couple of kids who are studying there and both of them are very street smart.

Hi Arkcocoon,

If we are lucky to get a place, it would be 7:20am get on school bus, arrive at school at 7:50pm. I think it is not too bad. After school may be a bit worse because of the traffic and may take 45min to an hour.

I think it is difficult to find a good school which fits the parents' educational philosophies and the child, and so long it is within an hour's commute, I accept it.
(honestly, even commuting between a few MTR stops, it takes 30min+ on the road because the school bus stops at a lot of stops.).

If everything being equal, I would choose one which is closer to home (at least on the same island/peninsula and not to commute through tunnel)

Hi Arkcocoon,
同意你其中一點"class is easy but tests are not."
學校的確不太多習作，但正因如此，父母必須在坊間挑選補充練習給孩子，否則孩子在考試時便有些不知所惜。
感覺喺學校唔谷，家長要自己谷。

但除了此一點外，學校設施環境都很好，老師，語言各方面亦非常不錯。

留意今年開始改了三次考試，另間中都有quiz and dictation.

作者: CandyTheMom 時間: 11-11-21 17:23

I think that suggested SSCPS has already ranked the candidates by their performance at 1st interview? So if those families perform well in second interviews already, it is natural for the school to give offers to those candidates.

any one any thought?
