小兒今年入讀小一,雖然只是讀了兩個多月,有以下的觀察,總結來說對學校印象很好,想與各位分享,希望幫到一些仍未決定讀這間學校與否的朋友有多一些資料參考:

.班主任睇小朋友的性格很準,對他們很有耐心的教導和包容
.逢星期六,學校訂了黃竹坑三個球場作足球班,阿仔很鍾意
.學校採用電子通告形式,我相信減省了老師行政工作(追收)和很環保
.課室有locker,可減輕書包重量
.早上有崇拜,另會協助小朋友背金句
.功課量合理,約一小時完成
.學校鼓勵閱讀,阿仔亦好積極做閱讀報告
.一班30人,老師有足夠時間給予同學個別注意
.老師比分時,更給予阿仔一些評語作鼓勵,不只是一個分數
.老師用印仔鼓勵,阿仔很比心機寫手冊和留心上課
.功課多以工作紙,書包亦不重
.課室可能是新裝修,黑板的設計有磁石功能,幫助張貼教具
.學校自費聘任外間的教育中心(培正),一星期兩堂作德育培訓
.默書次數不多,英文共默了三次,中文好似6-7次
.有拔尖補底的安排,三班同學分為四班,由四個老師教,小班教能力不同的學生(這可能是直資學校資源較充足的好處)
.有library堂,阿仔也在學校圖書館借了一些我不常替他借的書
.手冊設計有8個元素供老師鼓勵小朋友,建立他們的自信心
.家長之間常有交流,亦約埋一齊行山,聽講座,賣旗等
.全日制讓阿仔可以與同學相處多些,學習相處技巧和獨立
.有家長教師會,好多家長是全職主婦,幫了學校午膳照顧工作

入讀此校前,也担心St Paul會否好谷學生,但so far都處理到,可能暫時是小一.希望阿仔繼續在此校愉快學習,最重要學習與人相處之道,解決問題的技巧,愛神愛人.
祝各位有理想的決定.::" />

昨天和孩子打球回家後,上內聯網看通告,得悉学校加置一「保羅行動」(‘Paul’s Action’)的國內助學交流活動给所有小五生,费用由学校負責。


需有擔憂眾〝大少〞們未必能體會到個中意義,但對學校為擴展學生視野的努力實在感激,而且時間選在第一次 Banding 評分試前,更使我相信SPCPS對自已在 Mission Statement 中的承諾,有着努力及承擔。


因為在四月為小五花大氣力推高學業成績,比组織一個大型國內活動來得容易及帶來恆常價值觀的好處,即學校 Banding 排位的有望提升,但這樣一來,對 Banding 排位一事,便可能有害無益了。


寫到這裡,不禁深興五年前的機会及選擇,也许是神的安排吧!

I'm pleased to know that the headmistress herself joins this action and goes together with the other teachers, parents and social workers and visits those poor students in China.

For me, that's the real "EDUCATION" instead of JUST purely looking for academic excellence.

I think the school will announce the donation plan of stationary, books and sundries. I'll absolutely support it.

Hi Pumbaa,
That's it. I appreciate this school always look for opportunities for students to expand their horizon. Instead of always marks, marks & marks, they really broaden a kid's perception of the world around him and develop correct societal value. This is so much so important as the pure academic-driven side. If you have time, you can go to the SPC (secondary) website. The principal Dr. J Kennard posted up his speeches in the morning assembly on it. Apart from the contents which are interesting and enlightening, he has used simple English to enable all students to read them. I ask my son to read them which is helpful both for his personal development as well as written English. :D

我個仔讀小三.  我好少入黎呢度, 剛剛"路過"...

你地既comment, 我都有同感, esp. 我仔係聰明但古惑兼卸膊既學生, 不過副校長+班主任+其他老師都唔卸佢, 點都要佢攪番掂, 我真係好多謝佢地既堅持.

我個仔, 學業上唔係top, 不過老師冇谷佢, 只係猛咁話佢唔努力 (其實佢既平日表現同佢既學業係2回事), 加埋我地既督促, 總算ok.

我越黎越相信我當年揀spc係岩架.  

而你地post出黎條link, 我成日都有入去睇dr. kenard既speech. 我真係覺得好好, 佢唔係好似而家d 教育界咁,淨係猛咁話唔好比壓力學生, 攪"創意", 要"獨立意考"..... (我認我係傳統派, 點都認為好既學業基礎同良好品格係最重要).  dr. kenard夠勇, 佢唔理人地點睇, 將教訓學生既speech都post埋出黎, 佢能夠睇清現代學生既問題, 一針見血指出, 難得.

I know the parents (my colleagues) of 3 kids who have graduated from SP boys but failed to go back to SP secondary school.  Their kids are now in F.1 in other CMI school.  I am a bit worry as these parents always complain that the teacher did not teach and leave the teaching task to the parents.  She has to teach the subject again every night.  I want to know if this is true just in the past.    I've heard both very good and very bad comment of this school.  My son will be in K3 in Sept and I wonder if this school is suitable for him, who is clever but cannot sit still in the classroom for too long.  He need some encouragement (e.g. verbal praise, a stamp or some small gift, or sense of achievement etc) for better learning.

my opinion is

1, why they failed to go back to SPC. All three of them? school problem or parent problem or other issue? we can't judge the school by hearing this.  we need to see the fact, like the school report of the kids.

2, there is no guarantee on a seat from P6 to F1 in SPC.  there are no "one dragon" yet.

3, almost all parents in HK need to teach their children at home. some even hired 3 to 5 tutors for their children.  That's what we called "parents peer pressure".  

4, agree on there are bad and good comment of the school floating in the air.  But I would like to ask you the following questions.  Whether you want you kid to study

a, a famous traditional school
b, a school you can show off
c, a school that teaching idea you admired
d, a school that your kid likes
e, a school with good track record
f, or a school you comfortable with

5, all Kids like encouragement, i think Principal Chan is a very good lady on children education if you see her interview with kids.

6, again, there is no guaranteed.  both parents and school need to invest their time on our kids growth

Yes, all three failed to go back to SPC.  One of them is on the waiting list (little brother of non-identical twins) but the mother decide not to "knock" as she said she's "suffered" enough.  She has 3 kids and every night she supervised 3 kids hw.  She said she often have to do corrections again and again but never know the correct answers.   One of the writing done by her was published under her sons name.  Of course, she may be a little bit too objective as the other parent never complains anything about the school.  

I have another friend whose twins have got into St Paul Co-ed.  She has positive comments on school.  She said the parent can follow what is being taught and assess in the school.

Of course, to be more objective, I think we need to learn more from different parents who have different views.  I can see there are so many positive comments on the school after the school change to DSS.  Hope to hear more sharing.

This is not hard to understand.  Which case sounds easier?  To take care of three kids of two year levels or to take care of two kids of the same year level?

I always remind myself that : "世上沒有不濟的孩子, 只有懶的父母."  Parental support is a vital part in a child's learning life.

Hi Avis,

let me share with you my experience from last sept.

Same as other parents, we applied many many DSS and private schools for my boy.  Same as other, my prime choice is St Paul Co-ed la. show off ma. :)

But after all the interviews we have, talking with different parents and friends.  We then can decide which school is good for my boy.  

I mean "good for my boy" including, my son must like the school, I also like the school and most important whether my boy is capable to follow the standard of the school.  My son is very lucky which he can have multi good choices.  

Eventually, we decided to pick SPC.  reasons:
1, Principal Chan has a talk with my son's KG, I concur her point of education
2, thru the interview arrangement, I see no "unfair and privilege" arrangement.  
3, understand that after the DSS, the school is turning better as my primary school time
4, he has seven other classmates admit to this school. some are his good friends in KG.
5, I am prepared to spend my time to walk with him

these are one of a hundred experience.  almost every one is the same.  The most important is how you handle your expectation.  Kids have limited expectation except the extreme we see on TV news.

talk to more people but please do not compare school by school.  and compare other kids to yours.  only think about your kids need

Andrewpapa,
It's so kind of you to share your precious experimence to me, who is going to do similar things in this sept.  I am really happy to meet a parent who is well prepared to spend my time to walk with the son.  I appreciate the words of wisdom shared among parents for making a difference in the future of the kids.
It's only a start to me in search informations of different schools which might be good for my boys.  My boys might not be so lucky to have multi good choice.  Anyway, SPC is one of the good school which come up to my mind.  St Paul Co-ed is also a good school but I wonder my boy can sit still in the classroom.  Actually after reading the forum from BK and talk to the limited numbers of parent I know, the list of schools that come up into my mind and might be suitable to my boys also include , 陳守仁, St Stephen (Stanley), St. Louis, Ying Wa college & 培正.  All of them have pros and cons.  Anyway, hope to have more sharing in BK in the coming years.

J R Kennard's latest Monday Assembly Address

Dear Parents,

Dr Kennard's latest Monday assembly address was about Melamine (三聚氰胺).  In the address, he had not only discussed the contaminated milk products & their grave consequences but also quoted the Charter of Rights and Responsibilities in the College Handbook.

It is good English again with timely advice to the boys.  While some may wonder whether a secondary school principal should touch on a political sensitive topic as such, I am glad to see the school upholds the value of "Human Reponsibilities" and "Human Rights".

Link to the article:

Happy reading.
