DBS Vs SPCC - a difficult decision

Dear ABCD5678,

I guess you have come to the same difficult situation choosing between DBS and SPCC. It is too good if we could have some sharing.

Our son is lucky enough to have been accepted by SPC, SPCC and DBS.  Despite being an old boy of SPC, I have already given up SPC for personal reasons.  We have yet to make up our minds between SPCC and DBS. Here is my preliminary assessment: -

(1) Curriculum - both stress on little pressure, multi-intelligence or whole person development, though the general impression is that SPCC tends to put comparatively more weight on academic achievement whereas DBS places more emphasis on extra-curricular activities.
(2) SPCC is a Chinese Primary school, though we all know her English teaching resources are even better than most of the "English" Primary schools. Students are expected to use more English in DBS but of course, to a certain extent, at the expenses of Chinese lanauage development which is increasingly important these days.
(3) Teaching resources and teaching staff - comparable
(4) Physical environment – comparable (brand new campus for SPCC in 08/09, DBS's campus is also new for just a few years and has the advantage of sharing the Secondary school campus esp. grass pitch).
(5) as far as I know SPCC allows secondary students (F4-6) to choose IB programme (see prospectus). DBS has not made such pledge. Anyway this is too remote and given the trend, I am quite certain that both will embark on IB at least for the upper secondary forms.
(6) On the soft side, have you ever seen DBS and SPCC competing against each other in Music Festival (say Orchestra)? When SPCC won, the students go up the stage, get the award, smile, bow decently and courteously.  When DBS won, students go up the stage, get the award, hold their fists and shouted "Yes!".  Perhaps this could give you an idea - one is always courteous and upright, the other is full of passion.

The above may be wrong or is just my impression. Parents of DBS and SPCC are most welcome to give us some ideas.

Cheers

一間學校係香港, 一間係九龍, 是否都要睇下返學的路程而定?
一間男校, 一間男女校? 點揀好?

其實如果係睇地點，就唔會咁頭痛，香港米揀SPCC,九龍揀DB。

但當地點唔重要時，就更難揀，其實兩間都係好學校，但SPCC比DB更學術，而男女校就始終氣氛會好D，可能冇咁agressive。
好多人話男仔應揀SPCC
女就揀DGS

Hi Chanwk,

To be frank, we haven't made up our mind. You said I have already chosen. May I listen to your advice, please?

For 美人一號, shouldn't our new generation (especially boys) be more agressive and forthcoming?

P.S. location is not a problem and we can move home if necessary.

Thanks.

所以米話取向問題，各有各喜歡，及各有各優點。我會較喜歡男仔文質彬彬d，當然良性競爭都係好事，但能在互勵互免環境下成長，我自己會覺得開心d。
spcc雖然話著重學術，但課外活動一d都唔弱，校長話有近八十種可供選擇，加上新校舍，環境都好好。
我自己在面試時，對spcc的staff及老師都有好好印象。

Hi Pretty Woman No.1,

It's nice to talk to another SPCC parent-to-be. I have the same good feeling about the staff and Headmistress, a reflection of their students. My son is good at English but comparatively weak in Chinese. Do you think it's a problem if I choose SPCC? Did your daughter apply for DGS?

ends.

我估唔會好大問題，其實據我從已讀緊不同小學的家長朋友所得，不論db/dg/spcc響入學初期，程度反而唔算太深，我讀緊dg朋友講，甚至kts/宣道的課程及書本比dg的深，但打好根基之後，就會慢慢加強，所以我相信你仔仔就算揀spcc都唔會追唔上。
據朋友講，dg/db都好鼓勵小朋友自己去求知，所以默書測驗有時會考下d課堂未教過，(所教過相關的野)，並且唔會講定幾時測驗，對小朋友都幾大挑戰。其實最終揀邊間，都真係各有各好，好難做決定。
我有考dg，但因仲有個仔，所以dg真係收，到時更難決定。

Dear piyopiyohoho ,

謝謝您的回應和詳盡分析 !

小兒沒有您囝囝標青，他只被 SPCC 取錄。

本人提此問題只為了解會否因 DBS 放榜而令 SPCC 騰出空缺給後備生。囝囝死黨參加了 SPCC 2nd Interview 而未被取錄。

從家長們的回應似暫未有太多因 DBS 而放棄 SPCC 的 case 呢 !

Anyway，祝您們最終選到真正的最愛 !!

Hi ABCD5678

hi hoho/5678

不要客氣，其實我現時很高興因為身邊有一班很樂於互助的幼稚園媽媽，大家常會互相過料，互勵互免，所以希望到了小學都一樣能有多一班這樣的朋友。綜合各方資料，spcc的校內競爭氣氛沒有純男/女名校般強，相對下家長的壓力可能較低，互相交心的機會也較高，相信這樣的環境，大人和小朋友都會開心吧！

I know 4 people coming from SPCC.  Their ages are 6x, 40, 35 & P.4.

Believe it or not, their career & academic performance (except P.4 one, who is too young) are all good.  Moreover, their character are all very nice & gentle.

From the father of the P.4 one, the school life of SPCC is real excellent and parents among middle-class group (there are really some very rich families) are going very well & cooperative.

I also believe co-ed is more "normal" as students can have some friends in opposite sex.

If I'm so lucky, I prefer SPCC.  Of course I'm not....

各位好！我都有你地既煩惱！

我個人認為SPCC教出來的小朋友會較有規矩及低調，而DBS就較自由、創意較高亦較自信。當然兩校學術方面都同樣出色。

所以我相信兩間學校教出來的學生係兩類完全唔一樣嘅人。如果睇遠D去到大學或之後，佢地將來係事業方面嘅發展都可能好唔同。

我本身為一小商人，如果希望兒子將來從商，咁各位覺得那一間學校會較合適呢？

不過可能我已經想得太遠了......

Dear piyopiyohoho,

DBS has made similar pledge for IB program too. They are going to raise a new building to support this initiative.

By the way, DBS will implement 1 year school boarding during the secondary years. I think that is quite interesting "training" opportunity for our kids which tends to be rather overly protected nowadays.

Despite being a Chinese-medium primary school, students at SPCCPS have a strong command in English. They have quite a number of NET teachers in school (perhaps even more than those English-medium primary schools).

As someone rightly pointed out, SPCCPS also puts much emphasis on Chinese-language, and they have increased the use of PTH in Chinese lessons in the past few years. If one prefers a more balanced curriculum in the two languages, SPCC seems to meet his needs.

One more observation, music education has long been a cherished tradition at SPCC - as one might note from their list of alumni being professional musicians.

Interestingly, SPCC is also famous as a birthplace for doctors - as witnessed in the Faculty of Medicine of HKU.

Again, the above are simply observations and are not meant to say SPCC is outrightly better than others.

In fact, I would always take location an important consideration when choosing a "primary" school for my kid.

If location is not the issue, you should definitely choose SPCC.

SPCC is a "well-balanced" school.

As far as I have come across all the graduates from SPCC, they are all well manner, good educated, elegant.......

SPCC is the best school in Hong Kong (it's only my personal opinion)

Hi 2bbaba,

Glad to know that someone is in the same difficult situation whom I can share with. I totally agree with your analysis between the two different styles of SPCC and DBS.
