Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

I have sent the application letter to St. Mary on 4/6/2005, but no response.  I called them and they said they will issue a letter at the end of July to inform the status, but I still don't receive it.  Please advise whether your children can admit to St. Mary's P1 successfully??

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

My daughter's classmate in the same kindergarten is successfully accepted by "knock-door".  She was rejected in both first and second round of seat-allocations.
When I attended the parent day (23 July), I met the mother and she told me that her "success" was thanks to her sincerity.  She wrote letter to school every week and in the mid of July, she was informed that her daughter was admitted.

I also heard of the successful case of "knock-door" last year.  The mother is my ex-colleague but I was told by other ex-colleague.

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Which kindergarten is your daughter studying at? I heard that St. Mary likes to choose the children which are studying at St. Rose.

Do you mean that your daugther also admit to St. Mary? by first round or second round??

I also wrote the letter to the headmistress at the end of July.  I think my sincerity is not enough :(

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

My daughter was admitted by St. Mary's in the first round.  She was lucky as some of her classmates were failed even with 20 marks.  My daughter's kindergarten is St. Rose.

My daughter's another classmate was failed to knock door at St. Mary's.  I think the school need parents' sincerity, not because of which kindergarten the girls come from.

Another successful case last year, my ex-colleague's daughter, the kindergarten is "Kai See".

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Dear Brandanmama,

Would you mind telling us that how many marks your girl has?  If your girl was not admitted by St. Mary and St. Rose may not give her an interview since her 1st choice is not St. Rose, then what would you do?  

Is St. Rose really don't give chance to those girls who did not choose St. Rose in 1st and 2nd round?

Are you in net 31?

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

HI Ckwok,

My daughter has 20 marks.  We are not net 31.
I heard from other mommies that St. Rose may only consider those who selected them in both round 1 & 2.  Most of the schools like parents have "sincerity".

If my daughter was not admitted by St. Mary's and in the second round she was not assigned with an ideal school, I would write letters very frequently to St. Rose and try to "beg" the headmistress in person.  If the school still did not accept, I would send my girl to the private school which already accepted her.

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Dear Brandanmama,

Thank you for your sharing.  Can you please give me, in your mind, those areas that St. Mary is better than St. Rose.  My girl is also studying at St. Rose kindergarten and I would like to a make choice between these 2 primary schools.

Thanks for your pointers in advance.

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Dear Ckwok,

Sorry that I can only give you very limited information in this aspect.  My daughter is the 1st child and I don’t know any girls studying in St. Rose Primary School and St. Mary’s Primary School (I have not seen my ex-colleage’s daughter for several years).

Although my daughter was studying in St. Rose Kindergarten but I had seldom got in touch with the girls of St. Rose Primary School.  My impression is that the school is good, girls are good student but I heard that the school has many homework to do.  The advantage is that your daughter will be very happy in primary one because she is familiar with the school and she has already known most of the classmates.

For St. Mary’s, the first time I really get in touch with the girls was in Parents’ Day.  The girls are very good and the school is quick demanding.  If girls are not performing well they will be asked to leave. The advantage is that starting from this year, all primary one students will be admitted by St. Mary’s Canossian College (secondary school).

Hope the above may help.

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Dear Brandanmama,

Thank you for your info.  My hubby likes St. Rose very much and that's why we chose St. Rose Kindergarten as many of his friends/relatives graduated from the secondary school then went abroad for further studies.  Now I think I've to discuss/analyse with my hubby more in depth.

Did your hubby support you in choosing St. Mary?

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Dear Ckwok,

My hubby chosed St. Mary's (but I supported  
In the first round, our targets were Maryknoll and St. Mary's but finally he dropped the form to St. Mary's.

The headmistress of St. Rose kindergarten, Sister Lam, is very nice.  You may consult her for more information of St. Rose Primary School.  I also chatted with Sister Lam before we reach our decision in the first round.

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Hi Brandamama,

Do you mind telling me why dropped Maryknoll finally? We will step in application for 06/07 P application soon. I am also in debate with my husby between St. Mary and Maryknoll. My husby preferred St. Mary as he thought the chance in first round is higher than in Maryknoll which is so competitive. I personally preferred Maryknoll, however, I may go for St. Mary at the end, in order to better use of points..... however, really would like to share yours.
Thanks

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Hi CDMa,

I finally selected St. Mary's (not Maryknoll) for my daughter.

To me, both the two schools have a very high ranking in academic.  To be honest, I prefer Maryknoll because of its gorgeous campus.  In the first round, St. Mary's offered about 70+ of seats and Maryknoll offered about 90+ of seats.  It seemed that the chance of getting a place in Maryknoll was higher than in St. Mary's so we selected Maryknoll initially.

On the first day of accepting application form, my husband went to St. Mary's first.  He found that St. Mary's did not have too many parents to submit application form then he went to Maryknoll.

He described to me on the phone that Maryknoll was full of parents in the hall so he thought that eventhought the places of Maryknoll was more than St. Mary's; the chance of getting a place in Maryknoll is smaller than in St. Mary's.  He called me and finally we decided to select St. Mary's.

Although I prefer Maryknoll, the barrier in my heart is that Maryknoll is a noble school in my perception.  Furthermore, starting from this year, primary one students will be admitted by St. Mary's secondary school.  These are also the points to support our decision in selecting St. Mary's.

Hope your daughter will be admitted by either Maryknoll or St. Mary's.  They are really good schools.

Re: Does anyone have successfully knock-door at St. Mary?

Hi Brendamama,

Thanks for sharing your experience which does help and valuable.  You are really a wise mum ( a wise couple in fact!).

With you comment, I have almost make up the mind to go for St. Mary in the first round. I hope I will be as good luck as you. I only get 20 marks in the first round and still look to luck.  I heard that 25 marks is the least to secure a place.....

Thanks again.

=> Request the school to re-issue to you.  You must show proof in order to get points from this.
