I've chosen Vic. due to below reason.

1) No need to change the class between am / pm among three years
2) If both are ENG/Can stream, Vic had native ENG/Can/Man teachers everyday while St. Cat do not have Man teacher everyday and no native ENG class teacher start from K2
3) Vic is better teacher vs student ratio
4) Vic is better student health check before enter school area

Hi Yan Lock,
I share the same opinion as yours. It really a very tough decision to make. I am now struggling between Victoria (HMT, Eng/Mandarin) and St. Catherine (Eng/Can). My child has been studying in Victoria since playgroup and she is now in PN.
Personally, I like Victoria as the reasons you have pointed out (e.g. low student/teacher ratio). Victoria also has a better chance to admit my second child later, whereas St. Catherine may not.
I want my children to have a better environment for language development of both English and Mandarin (as Mandarin v. v. important nowadays.).
However, I always hear that St. Catherine has a better advantage of getting into local famous primary schools. My plan for my child's primary education would be good local primary schools as first choice. If not, then I may put her into a IB school +/- international school.
It is really a big headache.

Any comment from others please ? Thank you.

For the sake of your 2nd child, it is safe to say in Victoria.
Just wonder your elder child will be still in Victoria (if u choose Victoria) when your 2nd child is applying PN?
After my elder child left Victoria HMT , my 2nd child failed in applying PN. (Maybe my 2nd child is too stupid to be qualified; or coz we lost the silbling relation.)
Every school will have good placing examples; but who knows the reason behind? (Old boys/Old girls/Sibling/Contribution from Kindergarten?)
In my time in Victoria HMT, I saw their overall placing result was not so "impressive" (but doesn't mean it is not a good school!)
Remember that in many international schools, children go to P.1 after K2. That means you need to apply them when you are in K2 and make your decision to go before you can promote to K3. (Of course u can apply P.2 after local K3 but the queue will be much longer).

其實St Cat一年有成6-700人，大家提入到well known schools其實係咪o甘高？好似唔覺有人討論St Cat教得好唔好，其實到底點呢？

i agreed.其實我都好想知SC教成點.

仲有,唔好只係睇一堆數字,自己個仔仔女女可能係例外那一位.我識得一位小妹妹,幼稚園讀一間好平既,但中學就入到DGS.其實ST.PAUL都收咗佢,協恩又收,但佢自己揀咗DGS.至於另一位小弟弟,讀KLT某出名幼稚園,但中學入咗一間普普通通的.

我都一樣好想知SC教成點!

但唔好意思, 因為我見你所提出嘅example相隔左成個小學嘅階段喎, 6年咩都可以發生, 唔知你介唔介意講埋佢地入左邊間小學? 係考入? 定計分? thank you!

no wonder la... then i think it works the otherway!

I thing the sibling factor only helps if the elder kid stays through K3.

Yes. I guess no school will "gurantee" silbling's offer if he/she does not meet their entrance requirement.
With elder sibling studying in K, hopefully there will have a greater chance for the smaller sibling.

Thank you so much for so much echo. My 2nd child will apply PN when the elder is K2. Therefore, I think my 2nd child get a very high chance into Victoria if I let my elder staying.

After hearing so much from my friends' experience, I realize that meeting a good teacher is the most important. It really depends on the child's luck.

My girl is studying in St Cat K2 now and my neighbour's son is in Ho Man Tin Vic. K2 now.

No matter English Oral, Phonics, Chinese writing, Mandarin, Maths, St Cat win Vic a lot.

St Cat can be compared with Kentville, but not Vic as Vic is too crap.

呢個正正係我想講既野.只係單單6年,可以好大變化,更何況人生讀書起碼要讀成20幾年.所以我認為揀一間好既幼稚園固然重要,但一堆一堆既數字,未必代表小朋友將來既出路.個小妹妹來自普通家庭,佢媽媽話三間都係考入既.佢平日學既野都只係鋼琴,芭蕾舞同朗誦,但就好喜歡閱讀.呢個例子,都只係想講每人情況唔同,佢係好特殊既情況.就算知道佢條路點行,都未必應用到係你我他個仔女身上.

不過,SC學生人數係多,但咁多年來積落的口碑唔錯,呢樣係不爭事實.
