都唔係個個, 我直頭唔報SPK. 而且世事好難料, 好多人都係首選SH, 但佢咁遲先出結果, 我都唔敢唔報下其他學校, 但我都好尊重每一間我報名的學校架. 有時都要 in 過至知邊間適合小朋友.

I understand your feeling but look at it the positive way, if there is no SPK, then the wait-listed ones may never have chances to be admited.

When I had the same struggle two years ago, I have talked to many parents when there are still more children being accepted by both kindergartens.  Honestly, I cannot see how SPK can be better than SHCK.  However, many of them PM me while they share the same struggle and we share the thoughts in behind.

This is why parents would choose SPK over SHCK: because if the children are not studying in SPK, SPN or SPCDN, the chance to be admitted to SPCS(Primary) is almost zero.  So, this is like "buying" for a ticket to SPCS.  For the case of Sacred Heart, since SHCSPS + SHCS provide 200-300 seats, so studying in SHCK is not a must.

Although I initiated this one-dragon consideration in BK and spent lengthy time to research and eventually able to share the information with many parents, I got the opportunity to re-consider many of the elements while we choose a suitable kindergarten.  I am sure some parents would just treat it as a ticket to the primary section of a particular school.  I guess we have to respect their decisions, as everyone can have their own priority.

Frankly, for those who wanna wait for SPK's result, I would rather wish them luck to receive the offers.  It is because if they have another school which they prefer, I would rather hope everyone get what they want!  There will be parents who know how to appreciate a school.

同意ian所講,每位家長也有不同的決擇, 可能部份人覺得spk比較好, 但以我自己接觸過SH的家長和學生的經驗, 我真的十分欣賞SH, 有pm 的offer, 真得很感恩

我亦不覺得SPK好過SH,

我也有報spk, 純粹因為夠近,可以行路返學...

其實對於我黎講, 兩間幼稚園都好好, 能夠有幸入到其中一間, 已經萬分開心, 知道入到SHCK個心已經定左好多!

AM有AM好(早睡早起), PM又有PM好(唔駛咁趕), 所以唔會因為AM/PM而影響選校

因為未知SPK有無offer, 我只係做左好初步既分析, 就正如Ian所講, 我都係唔想小朋友到K3又要擔心上小學學位, 小學又要憺心呈分上中學(淨係In K1已經擔心左4個月, 每次Interview前一個星期都緊張到見佢食粒糖都擔心佢糖份過高, 隔離個小朋友病又憺心佢野到去唔到Interview...)

如果制度唔改, 我小朋友應會有25分入MPS, 但係又唔知咩原因, MPS->MSS既比率又唔係咁高, 比較穩陣暫時都係SPK->SPC

如果唔諗升學問題, 我會選SHCK, 因為佢有家長教師會, 起碼同小朋友同學既老師&家長可以交流多D, 對小朋友係學校既事都清楚D

我有四個朋友既小朋友都係當年有SPK&SHCK既offer可作參考:
A朋友=SHCK->K2轉左St. Jo (家長老師交流多些, 因為係男仔所以轉)
B朋友=SHCK->小學轉左SPC (為什麼轉就唔知, 不過媽媽話好明顯SHCK既小朋友係Sharp好多, 英文好D)
C朋友=SHCK->小學MPS(Knocking door)->DGS(勁讚SHCK有愛心, 連校工都有愛心)
D朋友=SPK->SPC(媽媽話SPK小朋友全部好乖好獨立好有禮貌,Phonics教得好,小朋友唔怕串字,但老師與家長較少交流)

Ian板主, 你是過來人, 請問能否提供更多有關資料給我們選校作參考?

我個case同你差不多所以升小不是最大concern。

你覺得邊間英文好D？我個人認為有沒有NET不是最大因素。。

之前去In過玫瑰岡, 佢地有NET(鬼佬), interview時香港人老師會有一部份時間用英文問小朋友問題(聽得出老師D英文口音好好, 又有笑容), 佢地成個Interview處理得好好, 首先有老師帶住小朋友派樂器一齊唱歌, Warm Up完先分批入課室, 過程流暢, 我小朋友最尾In完送埋個飛吻比老師, 聽老師講, 佢地兩日全英文時段, 一日全國語, 有蒙特梭利堂, 我地都好鐘意,

但係見佢地小朋友考上小學既成績又唔係好好,平時見佢地等校車又無咁乖(比較Active, 嘈D) 所以我地都諗緊唔想淨係揀有NET既學校, 此終覺得小朋友既德育係最難教, 同埋要由細陪養.....

致於邊間英文好D... 我都唔係好知, 但係我去飲時,見我朋友個女能K2時自己攞住本英文故事書坐定定睇成個鐘...我覺得好西利..佢讀SHCK, 不過佢我估係阿媽教得好多過間學校教佢LA...

every parent has their own consideration for kg e.g. fees, location, siblings, etc. School has the right to choose students , and parent also has the right to choose schools, as long as they are in a position to choose, this is a fair game.

Cest la vie!

作者: iantsang 時間: 11-2-17 07:03

Sorry that have been very sick and had high fever (38.8C) so I had slept 12 hours straight.  Just wake up and feel better now.

Honestly, the topic is so sensitive that I guess not many people would really want to give you clear and definite comments.  At the end, both secondary schools are band 1 and as SH parent, I agree in total that SPCS is definitely better on overall school performance (Academic + ECA, except Sports).

If by hearing this that already satisfy some of the parents to choose SPK over SHCK, then please don't go on and read the rest of this post.

Okay, here's my observations from the past years:

St. Paul's Convent is a school which done very well on increasing the value of the school image in overall.
- They are one of the very few Catholic schools which are willing to join DSS (Direct Subsidy Scheme).  That means the school itself has total control on what students they can admit.
- Students are encouraged to join as many competitions (on their own), and welcomed to skip classes in order to take part.  This give students more chance to build their confidence and also more awards and exposure for the school.  (A close relative of mine is current SPCS student)
- Students are being chosen starting from SPK/ SPN with a very specific character.  They need students who are very calm and emotional stable.  I will not disclose the exact details so don't PM me to ask.  My elder daughter had told me what happened during the interview, I cannot accept their method but I am sure that is a very effective method in order to select their students.  In short, they really don't need more than a minute or two for the interview to achieve this.
- As they have established such well organized way of teaching, so parents inputs are not welcomed.  To be fair, if the parents chose to let their children enter this school, they also need to trust them as they are the professional, right?
- Haven't talked much about SPK's curriculum since they are rather easy.  So, eager parents would arrange ECA to supplement that.

In sum, through my experience, I have absolutely no doubts that SPCS provides an excellent excellent environment if the parents want them to be in the top of the "food chain", at all costs.  It is because, they have started real life competition like a commerical setting from a very young age so girls there are well prepared.

For SH, in simple words, everything in opposite of the above.  This is why I always say they are very different schools so no points to compare.
- SHCC (Secondary section) chose not to accept more band 1 students outside and reserve that 30% of seats only to their primary school students (i.e. over 90% of SHCC students are own primary students).  This is a "foolish" act to many people but this tells you how far they can go to love their children.  Also, it tells you the dramatic improvement on these kids since many of them are band 2 during primary.
- Ever wonder why some kids cried and still got accept by SHCK?  It is because from their eyes, it is acceptable and normal for a kid to cry in an unfamiliar environment......
- Parents input are welcomed as this is why they start to have English and PTH teachers (they are not NETs, I am sorry for saying it wrong once, too expensive to afford) and how the Kowloon school buses are arranged.  These all thanks to parents' efforts and the acceptance by the kindergarten.
- The downside, probably your children may not be the top of the top in the competitive world, but they will be good citizens of the society.

Hi wootaitai,

I am sorry that I mistakenly mentioned NET once. The English teachers may or may not be Native. If we change to NET, I think the kindergarten cannot accepts voucher anymore.

Although I have bad experience in SPK's interview too, but I don't really want to judge a kindergarten simply by their interview arrangement. It is quite personal I think, sometimes you can tell from it whether this is what you are looking for or not, e.g. some parents want every single staff to put on a smiling face, some wants a place to warm-up, etc.

(just bad jokes)

Finally, I think I should apologize to the Canossians, SHCK and parents there. We are rather low-profile and still do, just because I am one of their parent and also a BK 版主 so you are "forced" to hear more from me...... please accept my apology to you and other parents if that affected your decision.

The reason to explain the low percentage of MPS to MSS is because MSS only wants band 1 students from MPS, so they will not accepts their own students during disrectionary places stage (the first 30% which allows them to accept top students everywhere in HK). MPS has a rather easy curriculum and EMI but the result is overall banding may not be as good.

haha, you also have many friends!  Let's go through one by one:
A朋友 <--  I think this is natural for boys to go to St. Jo's kindergarten, there are really not many options for boys in HK island.  This is why we used to have a few places open for K2.  (St. Jo's kindergarten don't take in students anymore)
B朋友 <-- I assume your friend's daughter are born few years around year 2000, as those are the years with such low birth rates, SPCS have seats left to accept outsiders.  To be fair, I guess your friend's daughter must be particularly sharp in order to be accepted by SPCS, right?  So, they may have the impressions that their daughter is sharper.
C朋友 <-- (SHCK有愛心, 連校工都有愛心) they do, but they may not have a smiling face all the time I must remind you!

They are loving and caring in their heart, not on their face.
D朋友 <-- I agree with the comments from that parent totally. Particularly it is true that EVERY SINGLE KIDS there are just like how the parent described. (Personal note: I prefer some differences as we are human)

作者: Tbaby 時間: 11-2-17 10:42

(別介意少少離題)

本人亦比較過SPK同SHCK的其中一個分別

如果細心留意, 大部份SHCK, St clare, 真光的學生明顯會開心,昂起頭走路 ; 而見到大部份SPK的同學仔(本人工作地點在SPK附近) ,毫無表情, 默默跟著工人姐姐低頭走路呢, 這一切都跟學校無關, 只是跟家長有關

曾經跟SPK家長傾談, 原來家長們在良性比較之下, 往往要求自己仔女報很多興趣班, 小朋友往往會感到吃力
星期一至星期五都有堂上 , e.g : 溜冰, 合唱團, 國畫, 芭蕾舞, 畫畫, 英文...根本連到playground玩玩的時間也沒有

所以邊間學校vs邊間學校, 應自己用心去量度, 留意多d, 知多d, 對小朋友對家長都好d呀!

多謝Ian, 你真係好西利, 好熱心, 請保重身體, 多謝你既細心分析(ABCD朋友逐一分析), 我又成為左你的Fans

之前我既諗法好表面, 淨係單為了唔想小朋友升學問題而煩,諗深一層,其實我覺得要小朋友學懂包容和感恩比成績好更難,自己會比較鐘意能夠重視與家長溝通的學校,因為我個女而家返既PG,我每日係課室出面睇閉路電視觀察佢,老師又會比好多意見同耐心聽我地教小朋友遇到既問題,等佢放學既時候又可以同其他家長分享我地教小朋友既方法,就係因為咁,我先更清楚了解自己既小朋友,呢樣野對我真係好重要,呢間PG就好似變成左我既助手一樣

其實我都覺得校工好有愛心(唔係因為笑容)->因為上次Interview完之後我個女自己去洗手間見到校工,佢見我個女識用腦諗下個水龍頭係有紅外線感應,用隻手去惦下個紅外線位,佢又讚下我個女.我個女好有自信咁出番黎,校工都咁識同小朋友溝通,真利害!

其實我係第二個post話其他學校interview做得好, 唔係想話SHCK做得唔夠好, 因為那間學校申請人無咁多,好似得七百幾,咁佢地當然有咁多資源去做多D,我覺得去完SHCK既interview,感覺好好,問既問題一樣(問白菜,我個女都唔識答,佢見到個切切玩具係茄瓜,佢話係辣椒, 都收左佢AM,可見答得岩唔岩唔係真係咁重要,老師問小朋友既問題一致),過程流暢(我地下午兩點IN都係等左5分鐘)

hi mary1004,

haha, another fans?  Thank you first for your appreciation.

Don't say that, actually their P1 promotion is only one of the many factors that we can use as criteria.  Whether someone would consider it as important or not, totally up to any individual.  Like myself, I guess I put this a much higher priority two years ago.  However, now I would learn to appreciate the love and care from the teachers since I just cannot imagine someone can really care so much for our children.

However, I must remind you this.  The teachers at SHCK are rather busy (extremely busy indeed) as they already spent a lot of time in the kindergarten (especially with the longer school hours).  So, please do not expect them to call you the way like many other kindergartens or pre-nurseries.  In order to communicate with them, you may write a note to them and they may either return you a note or phone you up if really needed.  Or you can talk to them when you pick up the kids.  Please be really considerate to them as as parents, I don't want them to receive too much pressures as they have already done a lot for the kids.

Concerning the interview, actually I didn't know you have commented about another kindergarten at all (or I cannot remember anymore, sorry).  Honestly, always open for criticism if there are anything that the kindergarten can do better, certainly in a reasonable manner.

So you are the one who didn't attend the interview at the end? Sorry just answered too many posts this week.

For our elder daughter, we took two weeks time to convince her to go to SPK for interview. It's because the moment she finished SHCK interview, she was so sure that she will get the offer that she thinks there are no needs to go to another one! (And obviously she had made the choice for herself already) But indeed, the environment itself feels quite pressurized. I guess, at least for me, we are not that level of parents to fight for the very best.

Being an old girl of SH, I totally agree :D

So you are the one who didn't attend the interview at the end? Sorry just answered too many posts this week.

Dear Ian,
Yes, same feeling as you....too pressurized for me too....and my daughter and I had made a good decision of not attending the interview ...

Best wishes to all new Sacred Heartists !!

Ian, 你好.我都一路有睇你的文章.知道你囡囡之前都收到St Clare嘅offer, 想問下你如何比較佢同SHCK?SHCK應該唔係一條龍,上小學是否比較麻煩?我知佢上午班是私家, 你知唔唔佢嘅收生條件?下午班是津貼,即要自行收生或大抽獎. 點解最後放棄一條龍嘅ST CLARE?

作者: iantsang 時間: 11-2-17 16:28

No, we never applied for St. Clare's. And they also don't guarantee P1 admission when we applied for the elder one. They only started to guarantee this couple years.

我諗我可能要放棄讀聖心,因為女女原本婆婆照顧,住香港,但婆婆現在不方便照顧,要比嫲嫲照顧,我倆又唔放心請工人睇。所以要搬返嫲嫲大圍度住。真係好唔想，但我估都無可能有褓姆車由大圍到聖心，其實如果有車由九龍搪去都可行。真係唔知可唔可以揾到褓姆車啱我地嘅需要。

Actually I remember that were 1-2 families which mentioned they are living in Shatin and we did propose Kowloon Tong/ Shatin as one of the pickup points to see so that's how we find them out. However, the number is just too small so it is far away from forming a route for the school bus.

No need to give up on nanny buses, even though you may not find one which takes SHCK only, but there may be other nanny buses which may take students from Tai Wai to HK side, good luck!

咁我記錯了.依家都唔知點選, St Clare一條龍, P1唔使煩;但聖心又係一間好好嘅學校,好似唔會有人為St Clare而放棄聖心, 請你比D意見.

作者: lovelinda 時間: 11-2-17 21:42

我諗我都好可能會放棄聖心,因為真是太遠啦,仲要係半山,交通又無spk咁方便,我們(暫時)都應該唔會考慮搬到港島........最主要是因為細佬.......不過我都仲係1516,仲未決定到.......

作者: vlui55 時間: 11-2-17 22:22

true true cutemon0808, 100% agree with your point. I can feel parents from SH are filled with heart and seems willing to share, and less competitive or maybe in a more gentle way!

原帖由 Cutemom0808 於 11-2-16 16:12 發表

都不是個個喜歡SPK，如果我有幸有offer我都要問清楚是否真的合適。例如SH家長熱心助人又細心已是一個很吸引人的地方。

作者: iantsang 時間: 11-2-18 00:28

It's a bit difficult a comparison but let me try to ask back the following question, based on the concerns you have stated.

If you like St. Clare's primary school and this is what you want and suitable for your daughter, then I think it is reasonable to take St. Clare's.

If this is not the case, then you will have to ask yourself how much risks are you willing to take, or you feel justify to take, for letting your daughter enter SHCK.

Frankly I am really not in a position to tell you which one you choose. But my wife and I had made the decision for ourselves to give up another full one-dragon for our young one, to go to SHCK. For us, we understand it is still more important to let her go to a kindergarten which we feel she would learn the proper values and educated with our expectation. But I cannot say this on behalf of others so you would have to decide on your own.

Ian, i have one question, do you know how the school SH assigned the kid to either AM or PM sessions? as I saw some parents said that her girl may not be able to answer all question but still got AM offer, I really envy and congr to them! hahaha!

You mean the kindergarten? Well, answering all questions or not are not the main determinants so really cannot be measured by the own parents whether the kids have actually performed well or not.

Yes yes i mean the kindergarten. You are right, it's the interviewer who determine whether the kid was doing well or not but not the parents. if this is the case, does that mean the top kids go to the AM session and the remaining go to PM session? (given AM session is there 1st choice)

You can say that, but quite a number of families do choose PM as first choice.

is there anyone knows the result yet?

作者: twinsmummy 時間: 11-2-18 14:34

Are there any parents who got accepted by SH and waiting for SKH result?

I'm wondering "IF" my kids also get offers from SKH, which one to pick? SH has sort of one-dragon to SH Primary.  SKH has bigger chance to go to St Paul Co Ed.

HOw will you choose?  Pls share your thoughts.

THank you!

Hi Ian

I read quite a few links and you are not only expert on SH matters but sincerely helpful.

I wonder if you can help me with these for kindergarten AND primary school:

Is English all taught by native speakers? How frequent/how long are the English lessons?

Is Chinese taught in Mandarin in primary school? If not, how frequent/how long are the mandarin classes? Are the teachers native speakers?

Thanks a lot!

我只報了3S：SH，SKH，SPK，都好緊張！

都很難免心裏不作比較，但有時真係唔想去諗太多，真係有得揀先算！

我計過三間都考到的機會是2000份之一

...

Hi Wootaitai, these are also our target schools. 1in 2000 is still better than lottery! For me I'll need 1 in 4000.

What's your order of priority may I ask, assuming you win the "lottery"?

Thank you.

Not guarantee gah I heard. E.G. a couple of people already told me SPK will not give special treatment to twins.

So we can have situation with only 1 kid in the school. I think Ian said SH won't do that (thank goodness)

In any case, I'm not sure how to choose any more, the more info, the more confused.

當年我就因為有 SH (pm offer) , then give up the interview of SPK. 老實說, 不想囡囡太大壓力, 也不想自己變成恐龍家長!
囡囡現在很喜歡上學, 亦喜愛老師, 我已很心滿意足了!

作者: eugenie-mama 時間: 11-3-15 15:10

聖心的管理層願意聽家長的意見. 是很讓人感動的. 曾經有家長在觀課後的發表意見環節, 反映需用NET教英文, 接著學校請的英文老師都是NET了. 有的聽她們的口音應是外國長大的中國人.其實我認為跟外國人是一樣的, 而且會更穩定.
