My boy graduated from BU K, accepted by A school but dropped eventually.

A school accepted around 55 BUK students or < 40% of total K3 graduates or around 50% of BUK applicants.

One point (which I think is fair) to highlight is - students of BUK do not have absolute advantages to get into A-school but graduates of BU K is less competitive in competing for seats in traditional prestige schools.

Did not heard of anyone admitted by St Paul Co-Edu (St Paul Boy's is a different one).  HK Wah Yan is not DSS.

Twoloverlyboys,

I heard that the principal Ms Din quite likes kids from Hong Kong (Ascot) Preschool in Fo Tan.

From our experience in interviews with A-school, it seemed there was no standard.  Hence, hard to position your kid to be liked by A-school.

Some said that the talent show was important.  But, only those outgoing kids would benefit.  If you kid is very quiet, he / she may not outperform in the talent show.

The 2nd interview was useless from the screening perspective as 6 pairs of parents were meet in one lot in an open discussion.  The one we met was too junior to chair the meeting.  

Would suggest you to pick a school that is well recieved by most of the primary schools, not just for A-school.  My boy started K1 in BU K on understanding that the graduates would be automatically promoted to A-school but the recent fact was just some 50 were picked.  

The curriculum (theme based / project based) of BUK is good from kid's development perspective as they learn to be more creative and take learning as part of the living but hard to be well received by traditioanl prestige school.

Twolovelyboys,

The assessment test is Chinese form but I also answered in English.  

The set of questions mainly asked (1) whether the parents understand the mission of the school; (2) views on teacher-parent cooperation and parent' availability of being the volunteer workers; (3) your priorities in various aspects in child nurturing e.g. health, academic achievements, proper value, conduct...; (4) committment to parent's class (which is compulsory once you kid is admitted by the school)

I heard that both the talent show and assessment test were important.  Assessment test is relatively easy to master comparing to talent show.  Talent show only differentiates those who are active and talkative and penalizes those who are smart but quiet.  There is a research saying that active kids are more predominant in shows but less concentrated in learning as they get side-tracked easily while quiet kids are usually more observant and rational as they think more than talk.   So, you have to know the type of your kid and find the right school for him.  An ideal school should take a balance that each group would influence the each other but reality is... most school wants to pick up those can represent the school to acquire awards... this is a little real world.
