Dear Larchai,

Education is a years-long commitment, and in case of primary school, you are talking about at least 6 years of commitment (and 12 years if you really go to their "through-train" secondary school as well).

There are many criteria in choosing schools, such as method of teaching, medium of instructions, public examination results, students' conducts, courses offered, traveling convenience, etc.

But among all those factors, I would think that "traveling convenience" should not be such a big deal in Hong Kong, especially among families with average income or above. For example, I would seriously doubt that anybody would turn down an offer from DGJS or St. Paul's Co-ed preparatory primary schools simply because they are far away.

In case of medium of instructions, there are a host of DSS or privately-run primary schools thats has more renowned traditions, better public examination results, use English as the medium of instruction, and are not that much expensive than Delia (Man Kiu) English Primary School, such as St. Clare's Primary School, Po Leung Kuk Camões Tan Siu Lin Primary School, and the like. Of course, it would required your kids to compete with others to get into these ones, as all renowned schools probably are.

I think those are probably the reasons why not that much people would talk about Delia (Man Kiu). It does not meant that it might never become a renowned school someday, just that it is not there yet.

Of course, if you would like to put your faith in Delia (Man Kiu), do so and involve passionately as parents to make sure your kids receive the best possible education as provide by this school. As "early adopters", you have the advantage of having a less-than-keen competition when applying for it.

But for the many of of us, we might be taking a more prudent, maybe even "conservative" route in choosing schools. Hence, the relative lack of discussion about this particular Delia school.

simply speaking, is it that DELIA brand name is not good at all in HKG, so even if it is DSS, cheap, English speaking environment and close to the MTR, it is still not interested by most of the HK par ...

Tks Kermitan, I understand what you mean.

But what I doubt is, among these "new" DSS schools, e.g. WKF, Pui Kiu, PLK CKY, PLK LMC, Evangel, SMC, Delia(Man Kiu)...all they have had not yet thru-educating students step on secondary school, how can people judge from the public exam results?

In fact Delia(Man Kiu)did offer me a seat but surely I didn't go for it as I decided another one already. My personal feeling is not very bad wz this school but I really do not dare to study further, you know why? Because I could not find enough information/comments regarding this school and I won't take the risk.

My only explanation is, brand name.

If it is PLK Man Kiu, I believe there will be many people interested in understanding more about this school. You think so?

CKY and Evangel have their own unique strengths

Well, For me I would not consider WKF, Pui Kiu, PLK LMC, Evangel and SMC, too. Because they have not got any track record yet, and because I have been attending parents talks of most of them (except PLK LMC --> the application form design already scared me away), the principals' performance during which were also just so-so. But some people would surely go for it, especially in WKF (because of "boss" being Baptist University), Pui Kiu (Tsang Yuk Shing as their Boss), and of course all those PLK schools.

Evangel was a bit different though, for the way the principal presented it, they really welcome all those kids who are normal in their IQ but behavioural speaking in need of improvements, and he actually spend more than 2 hours (!!!) in the parent talk demonstrating how he would tackle them in a nearly role-playing manner!!!

But PLK CKY is a bit different. First of all, it was established since 2002, and has already had the first cohort of students passing the P.6 grade twice with flying colours (nearly all of them decided to go to their through-train school, again PLK CKY, and a very small minority of them would went to excellent EMI schools). Secondly, the curriculum design is very well planned, with IB firmly grounded in its secondary senior years. So, in my humble opinion this one is really different, and should not treated just as another no-record-brand-name-only school.

So, even only among those schools you have mentioned, people were choosing them owing to varying reasons, and not necessarily only the "brand name" thing.
