Is it really a good school?  Somebody told that it is too traditional, is it ture?  Compare with SPCS and BPS which one is better?  Please provide your comments.  Thanks!

Yes, St. Paul Co-ed. Many many thanks!

LoveCandy,

As I know, all the famous old elite schools are traditional, SPCC, SPCS (St. Paul's Convent, right?), BPS are all using traditional approach.  But heard that workload in SPCC is already less than the others.

News today re SPCC:
(星島日報報道)每年學費高達四萬八千元的名牌直資聖保羅男女中學，上周五截止報名，吸引一千二百人爭奪九十個中一學額，平均超過十三人爭一學位。

　　因今年龍年效應消失，該校的報名人數較去年下跌約一成。

　　位於中西區的聖保羅男女中學，下學年提供二百三十一個中一學額，當中一百四十個預留予直屬小學畢業生，只有約九十個學額供校外學生申請。

　　該校於上周五截止報名，吸引約一千二百人報讀，平均十三人爭奪一個學額，競爭激烈。

　　由於今年龍年效應消失，整體學童數目下跌，故聖保羅的報讀人數，亦由去年的一千三百多人，減至今年約一千二百人，跌幅約一成。

　　該校挑選中一學生，主要根據考生背景及面試表現，不設筆試。校方會參考學生遞交的資料、成績等級及其他校外表現﹔其後挑選四百名申請學生進行面試。面試會以英語及普通話進行，面試則佔整體評分約三成。

　　該校將於明年二月中旬發信通知申請人面試日期及時間，三月中旬則會發信通知申請結果，取錄名單將上載該校網頁。

Thanks for WYmom's information.  My son applied for the SPCC, his number 7XX on Thursday, so the last day had 4XX students submit the application forms.

WYmon, thanks a lot for your reply.  It is really helpful.  Base on your information, I believe that most of band 1 traditional famous schools are "tradition".

I get no idea how many students applied SP Convent because my daughter's candidate no. is C0xx (xx are two digits) which could not indicate the exact no. of application.

    I believe the competition of this year would also be keen.
