Ian, I am also a big fan of you. You are fantastic. How can you do that with such a thorough understanding of HK education system. I'm impressed!
I have read through your post (2009-2010 only, still completing the remaining). Would like to seek your advice on PN and KG application matters.
My daughter is now 16 months and I started planning for PN and KG applications, mainly focussing on HK Island. My choices of KG would relate to the bigger picture – primary school to secondary school.
Questions on Sacred Heart (SH)
•For SH KG (am - private), would students admitted by SH Primary (am - private) also be eligible for applying SH Primary (pm - subsidized)?
•What's the main difference between SH primary am and pm? Would am session be tougher as it's self-funded and need to build up its reputation through enhancing students' performance?
•For students taking SH KG (am) and SH Primary (am), how are their chances of admission to SH secondary (subsidized)? Would they reserve 85% of seats for SG primary, be it students from am or pm in SH KG?
•You mention that every 3 years SH KG will got extra seats, which year is that? K1 in 2014/2015?
Question on St Mary (SM)
• It’s a one-dragon school though it’s non-DSS. Does it mean that once entered into SM primary or 天神嘉諾撒學校, all students will go straight to SM Secondary?
General questions on KG
• For CCKG, do you know % of students being admitted to DGS/DBS? For the rest who are not admitted to DGS/DBS, where are they going normally?
• SKH is highly regarded by many parents in HK Island, partly becos of its high admission rate to SP Co-ed. Just wonder if you have the % of admission to SP Co-ed? Somehow I suspect the admission to SP Co-ed is mainly due to the background of parents (old boys/old gals) or special connection with school.
• I am asking above questions as I’m thinking whether I should target on KG with primary connections like St Paul Convent, Sacred Heart OR non-dragon KG likes SKH.
• Given your interview experiences for PN and KG, do you have any tips to share? I’m a working mom working long hours and I worry my lack of time in preparing the interviews for my kid. Some of my frds quit their jobs or work part-time just to prepare the upcoming interviews. For me, it’s not feasible as I have to sustain the family. I know your daughter was admitted by SH. May I know how did u utilize your time to train and groom your daughter? Very much appreciated.
Questions on Primary schools
• For Discretionary Places Allocation, Catholics got 5 marks for Catholic schools. Does it apply to 1 parent only? Or does it require 2 parents + the kid to be Catholics as well?
• If the kid already got a seat in Discretionary Places Allocation, he/she will be excluded from Central Allocation, right?
• If the kid already got a seat in DSS or private schools, she won’t be eligible for Central Allocation. But how about Discretionary Places Allocation. Is the kid still eligible?
Sorry for the long list of questions. Just answer me when you feel like it. Many thanks!
