Re: any comments/information of St Mary?

My daughter is studying P.1.  There are some homeworks, around 2-6 pieces in a day (it varies because it depends on the lessons on the following day).  The school encourages students to read both at school and at home (including on-line reading).  My daughter joined 3 on-line reading web-sites, i.e. 2 in Chinese and 1 in English everyday (but it is optional).   There is a reading scheme at school (but there is no requirement on the kinds of books and the numbers of books to read).  My daughter develops her interest in reading.  She always go to the school library to read books during play time and she always read books from public liabrary at home.

Extra-curricular activities are arranged by the school on Wednesdays after school hours.  There are music performances at school and outdoor trips arranged by the school.

The school has a deep religious atmosphere and there are many religous functions at school.

I do not put too much pressure on her school studies.  But parents should not be lazy in supervising their daughters studies because there are dictations and short tests from time to time (probably once in a week) but the test marks do not count.   There are two examinations in a year.

My daugther can manage her studies but not too hard (may be she is just P.1).  She has time to join extra-curricular activities and tutorials, e.g. piano, violin, swimming, Kumon, English playgroup and putongua.  She can enjoy watching her favourite TV programme every evening after finishing her homework.

St. Mary is really a good school.  The school provides a good learning atomsphere to students.

Dear Karismum,

I can say the workload for the girls in St. Mary is not heavy and the school give little pressure on them.  Girls in St. Mary have a happier school life.  

You know nowadays, most of the schools request their students to learn at least one musical instrument, but St. Mary does not.  My daughter practise two musical instruments but she still can have time to practise.

My daughter is in P.3, there are tests but marks will not be shown on the school report, only the 2 exam (for a year) count.

If I have 20 marks, is it easy to get a seat in the first round?

Re: any comments/information of St Mary?

I heard many cases about enrollment of St Mary..... many ppl can't get the seat in the 1st round because St Mary has a long history, thus there are many old girls..... so even u have 20 marks, u may still fail in this round. However, I know many girls got the seats in 2nd round. The main reason is St Mary is in an old district and the "real" applicants are not too much. If ppl "borrow" address, mostly they like to choose net 41 or 34. :wink:

Re: any comments/information of St Mary?

safarimama,

thanks for your information. I feel upset when I heard that someone can't get a seat even with 20
marks. After reading your msg, I feel better now and
what I can do is to try my best and apply some private school for back up.
