Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Hi lamba,

So do you imply that private & DSS primary schools would prefer Kentville graduates over STS? What's your reason on that? Thanks.

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

may not be the case, but certainly STS would not have advantage over Kentville especially if those primary schools are of different religions !

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Sure. But Kentville doesn't have any merit on this too, right?  Maybe DSS schools would prefer Kentville kids because it's more "famous" than STS?

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Charwes,

lamba is right in a sense that STS does have advantage over Kentville for Catholic schools , for private or DSS schools with a different religion, both kinders have the same priority.

I believe in the academia field, all schools know very well the background of each other, (only parents got stuck) They select kids based on the results of the entrance exams, right?

I believe that one reason why STS seems to weaker than Kentville in terms of P1 admission rates by famous private or DSS schools  is because STS used to have its own primary school. Unless my son can go to a school with a secondary section, I would not forgo my seat at STS primary to change to another primary school, would you?
If my elder son studied in STS , and a place is guaranteed in its primary section, I would not have applied for Kowloon Tong, Alliance, St. Joseph's, Lai Yin (all of which my son got a place  for P1)

So basically students from STS won't apply for private or DSS primary schools at all! It is for this reason, I guess, that private or DSS primary schools would not like to take up STS's kids as the chances that they wil really come in and study are slim. But Kentville is different, the kids need to look for DSS or Private schools as a back up and a lot of them would really study there. Therefore the application or acceptance rate is much higher, giving this impression.

Since STS no longer runs the primary section,  I guess starting from this year onwards, the acceptance rate of STS graduates by other schools will be much higher.
Kentville undoubtedly is definitely a good school as well. I believe the hit topic next year will be STS, Kentville or St. Cat.?

Pay the registration fee first, adn give yourself more time to consider. Both are good kinders, you won;t make a mistake afterall. I believe there won;t be any hassle for most kids from these 2 schools to get a place in the above mentioned private and DSS schools. Its basically only a choice of which school can increase the chances of your daughter getting into your most desired school.

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Charwes, happymama has already given us a good interpretation of the situation !

But i still want to remind you that if your desired primary school is a Christian one, then you have to think twice before making decision !

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Hi lamba,

Thanks for reminding. In fact both DGS and MCS are the schools that I hope my daughter will get in, so I really count on St. Teresa's Catholic background. However, I haven't ruled out Kentville yet so I decided to pay the deposit first and make a final decision later.

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Hello HappyMama,

Nice to meet you here. It is so suprised that your son does not study in St Teresa(in Kenville) and you can make a discussion without biased.

As a small school with only 4 classes of K3, graduates not over 120 each year and the parents from this school seldom make discussion in public forum, especially graduate's parents. It is because we know that this is not a kindergarten running in commercial. However, most parents in this kindergarten care whatever relating to it.

Small school, less class and long service good teacher making us comfortable in our kids early learning life.

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Happymama,

Thank you so much for your sharing.  It is really helpful and valuable.  I believe that CCKG is good at teaching every subject and its moral education is my main attraction.  

You said "And to be able to get in, its best that you've got affiliation with Sing Kung Hui (聖公會)".  My hubby's mother school is belonged to 聖公會.  Does this count?  How can I tell the principal about this whilst the interview is only for the child?  Will she give us a chat after each interview?  My hubby's mother school is a DSS and I understand that we are in a better position to apply for it.  I just think that would it be much better if my child comes from the kindy with the same affiliation?

I'm so sorry that I have too many questions to ask.  Thanks again.

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

I've been very busy at work lately -- haven't got a chance to chitchat..

Hui Tung,
your husband's mother is an old girl of 聖公會 school? The relationship is too remote! The best is your kid has already baptized. I remembered one of my friend's daughter had applied before. In fact they were Protestants from Baptist Church -- but they only count 聖公會 -- there is a column (I'm not sure whether its the application form for DGS / DBS or CCKG -- asking whether the Kid is baptized under their Church or not or any affiliation with it.  

Will PM you (maybe next week) to discuss further.

Re: Kentville or St. Teresa?

Happymama,

Thank you very much.  I've been longing for your reply!  I appreciate the spirits of Christian faith, but I have to admit that I'm not a Christian as I'm not ready for that.  Whether to have my kid baptized or not, I think I'll let him choose in the future.

Anyway, I'm so happy that the school offers a chance for us.  I have no blame if he fails.  I look forward to your pm.
