選擇直資中學憂慮

Sosososo

剛聽到同事話如果讀了直資學校 , 以後就不能再轉回政府中學 . 請問大家有沒有此方面資料呢 ?

If accept offer from DSS, cannot join lucky draw.

However, after studying in DSS, should still be able to change back to govt school if space is available.  Of course it is not that easy.

Besides, some new DSS are non-traditional, so students may not be so easy to switch back to traditional govt schools.

I guess most people choose DSS are mainly because they are marginal band 1 to 2 students and still want to get into EMI schools.  So seems that most new DSS are taking band 2 students, isn't it?

>>上星期拿成績表,聽小學老師&主任們講"係",第一輪收到大多數學生都係band 2的學生,較有口碑的便會收到些band 1學生.但如SPC/DBS/DGS這些直資中學便會收band 1+課外活動又1突出最top的學生

以我聽直資中學簡介會時所得的資料係,:
如你選了入讀不參加派位的直資學校,學校會要求你簽一份文件及收了小朋友的學生證.不能參加中央派位.

而不是"以後就不能再轉回政府中學",放榜後你仍可以叩官中/準中/私校的門,那直資中學校長強調決定權仍在父母手上,如你覺別校更好可以隨時轉校的.

希望解答到你的問題. 及大家的小朋友都能派到心儀的中學

* 直資中學於四月前通知被取錄申請人
o 申請人亦答應到該校就讀
o 須簽署一份承諾書: 家長承諾放棄其他公營學校(包括直資中學)的學額
* 學生不可參加升中統一派位, 以及報讀其他直資中學
* 若家長中途想改變主意, 可以到校取回承諾書

My analysis of DSS can divided into 3 categories

1. Traditional famous secondary school like DBS, SPCC etc, all parents want their kid to go there;
2. Brand new school with vision and mission to run a school in different way from EMB, most are from Church background or Alumini accociation, like Logos;
3. Repackaging Private schools

When talk about which band they are in, different categories have different banding.

Yes, in my message, I am referring to new DSS taking band 2 students, ie. your Cat 2.  For your Cat 1, of course they are taking top band 1 students.

Top notch DSS only take the best and brightest student.  My wife's colleagues have kids are Band 1 results and the no. 1 students in different school last year.  They didn't have a chance for interview (SPCC).  

According to SPCC Principal's briefing two weeks ago, over 1000 applicants, they only shortlist 400 for interview according to rank order list base on the only results from the 2nd seminster of P-5 only.  The vacancies for next year is 90.  If kids not doing very well in P-5, don't waste your time and discourage you kid to apply for that.

ANChan,

I guess everyone knows that top DSS (SPCC, DBS, DGS) take top top students.  I am asking about other DSS which takes band 1 students.

How about St. Paul Convent?  It is not so top as SPCC, but it should definitely be taking band 1 students.  Do you know how "top" the students are to be accepted by them?

A friend's daughter studies at St Paul Convent at P-6, she told me that most of them can promote to S-1, in that sense, not many spaces for outsiders.

Their comments about the school is very good in academics, students well behave and in mid-range of Band 1.

1. In 2006 HKCEE, St Paul Convent gets 1.49A per student, even better than Maryknoll, La Salle  and DBS.

2. Besides, in the same year, St Paul Convent produces 23 尖子 (6A or above), more than that in Queens (22), La Salle (20), SPCC (16), DBS (14) and Maryknoll (10).

You miss a very important point : we talk about the situation from P-6 to S-1 and not after 5 to 7 years the value added in SPC.

We are talking about different situations.  Why you are so mad?

I am simply stating some facts without opinions, regardless of what you are talking about. Have I made anything wrong?

youma,

真係好勁，另郎選中學時，睇怕真係要睇是否直資此一因素了。

WYmom

youma,

Thanks for your info.  If I remember correctly, LS has an average of 2.?A, so won't be less than SPC.  Maryknoll is more or less same as SPC.

These are good reference of their track records which prove their academic standards.  I have no doubt about SPC's standards, just wonder how top of band 1 (top 10-20%?) they are accepting.  Guess they can now take even higher standard students than before as they won't join the Central allocation.  This year they will have students registration done in mid-Jan 07, which is much earlier than other DSS!

Students of SPCC target overseas Ivy League U. Most of them will go overseas in mid-secondary school or totally not participate in HKAL or HKCEE. This is part of the reason why SPCC has lower no of so called 拔尖

judy

LS has an average of 2.?A,

記憶所及，呢10年來，應只有兩家學校average >2.?A，
一間係SPCC，一間係DGS。聽說DGS有時>3.? A.

全港average >1A的，我估冇30家。

DGS, SPCC, DBS, St. Paul Convent 這些直資名校, 再過幾年, 各方面的表現應該要更好. 因為理論上, 他們有收生權, 兼有吸力可盡收叻人中的叻人, 如果表現只是比其他名津校好一點, 那麼, 真要打 pat pat.
選讀這些直資名校, 於我, 唯一既理由是: 若孩子真屬叻人, 又有追求極致的鬥心的話, 在一堆叻人中, 他在理解、思考、創意、學習...各方面可獲得的啟發, 可能會較在一間學生素質差異較大的名津校多.
