You can also with good English in St. Mary's wor.. no worry. I agreed with other mums that learn more Chinese when your kid still young. English is more easy to learn.

I am still thinking whether get to St. Mary's for 25 points or choose Maryknoll for 20 points as my daughter doesn't like chinese very much. Any advice?
She is having Putonghua for Chinese lessons so when she speaks in Cantonese, she uses putongha wording as cantonese like 出租車 and I have to change it to 的士. So i don't know if the chinese lesson is taught in Putonghua or Cantonese. In addition, she is "舉一反三"型 which is not the type that the teachers in St. Mary's want. 另一樣, 唔知而家有冇改善, 少讚多罵, 我女自信已不高怕到時更加打擊佢自信

Marians,
Thanks a lot. It seems the teachers will not act the same as our school years. As I remember, my teachers always like to scold students without any reasons at all.
J_D74,
Thanks for your information, it helps me to make up the decision.
I will talk to her class teacher and see if she will give me any advices.
My daughter's studying P1 in St. Mary's now. Before Marynoll was my target instead, so for the 1st round I picked Marynoll with 20 marks but unsuccessfully. All in coincidence, I moved to St. Mary's net and I never thought I would take this school before since PLKCKY was my second choice. Since St. Mary's is still the best school in this net, so I choice it as my second round and luckily was successfully drawn. And now I really love the school which's organised, teachers do really care the students and the additional class system for those weeker child is also very caring and I found is better than Maryknoll in this angle. Furthermore, I do agree that teaching in Chinese for like Mathematics is better than English. And learning Chinese is much more difficult than English too.
even though the birth rate on 2004 is not high, I really aware many old girls have 25 marks this year. Bear in mind that those with sisters in Primary section contributed 30% (about 36 seats), and those with sis in Sec section (35 marks / 30 marks) and old girls and catholic (25 marks) shared the 24 seats (20%) only.
We old girls has shared that the chance of direct admission for 25 is low nowadays
