I have two kids studing in SPCC.
Your comment is true in some cases, expecially your impression on the principle's presentation method. I fully agree, not only through the breifing, but also the day to day contact in the last few years.
However, I can't agree on the conclusion you make from the breifing.
1) IB vs 334
What is wrong with 334? Is IB really good or suit yoru kids? Do you really understand what IB provides? A school proides IB as an alternative is already a bonus. You will not be guaranteed to take any course you want even in the Univeristy. There is no point criticise the school that there is not enough IB seats for all students.
2) Pushing, homework, exam
is the school pushing? yes
is there a lot of homework? yes or no. my elder kid who has more homework can finish his work most of the case in less than 45 mins. my younger kid do take even more time. Why? It depends on the kid himself. You can find kids in brand X school not able to finish their school. Is that school pushing? Yes, you can derive that with your logic.
a lot of exam? yes. two exam and four assessment in 1 year. The assessment is as important as the exam. since this year, it changes to two exam and 3 assessments in 1 year. DBS has three exams in 1 year.
3) soul to get excellent results via competition.
absoultely no.
does the school want to have result at competition? yes. does the school push the student for it? No. On the other side, the school simply provide you a lot of opportunities for audition for different school team, but you are free to join. My kid is selected as school team for 5 activities and he is busy everyday participating different activities. Pushing and soul to get excellent results via competition? No way. I has debat with my kid to give up some activites but he refused. Does it good for kid? Yes, why not to let kids to explore more besides homewrk. Some of his classmates do not join any school team. Do they feel pressue from school? No.
Liyinfai, you are right that the admission procedure is bi-direction, and you are the one to decide for your kid. I am not going to debat with you, neither criticise your comment. As the current parent of SPCC and has contact with the school staff of different level, I would like to provide you more info. for you and other to select the best school for your kid, and to voice out my comment on the school which you may misudnerstand. Why? Because I got the exact comment as you did few year ago. I was also given chances to take up the seat of another DSS as good as SPCC, but I finally selected SPCC for my kid and has no regret. At least he is really ahppy with his school life.
Hope this helps.
