我哋好好彩, 兩間學校都收咗亞女,
其實兩間學校我哋都鍾意,
所以好難取捨.
請問大家對兩間學校有咩睇法呢?

It very much depends on where you live, if travelling time it long, which will exploit children's learning and playing time.

我哋住西區,
去St. Clare要搭一程車, 不過唔耐, 仲近過而家返幼稚園,
去St. Stephen就遠, 而且校車唔到我嗰到, 老公諗住朝朝drive her to school.
其實兩間學校都係英文小學, 程度應該差唔多,
不過校舍當然差好遠, 但返學路程都差好遠.

I got the same decision problem like you, my son was accepted by two good school, which St Stephen is one of it. It is a long term commitment. Though your husband is willing to drive the kid to St Stephen daily, but how you husband has some other duty commitment, say oversea trip. 6 years long, think about it.

個人認為兩間一樣喜歡，應捨遠取近。
每天省下起碼1小時交通好用得多。
別小看那一小時，對小學生的精神、功課很有幫助。

Candy925 & tyqq12X9,
我同你地一樣考到兩間, St Stephen 是其中一間, 車程around 45 mins, 但日日要來回加上彎路多, 我驚仔仔會頭暈, 返到嚟會好倦做唔到功課, 加上Stanley近海灘, 冬天會好冷, 六年級又一定要寄宿, ...

Dear Tatama,

For my personal opinion, u better not to choose St. Stephen if you think there are a lot of disadvantage of this school.

Echoed.

It is the parent's choice to drop it out now if all these worries seemed to be so reasonable to your kid's situation. I think hundreds of parents will thanks you by making this decision early.

However, if your kid is still in the waiting list so making such an influence here may not be so nice. Hope I am wrong here.

Maybe it's better for me to give more details about what are my concerns –

1. Distance
We live in the Western district. Of course go to St. Clare is more convenience. But go to St Stephen is not that far as compare to many other families who live on the Kowloon side. However, unfortunately, there's no school bus to and from our district. Actually both my husband and I can drive her to Stanley if we finally choose St. Stephen. But you can forecast, we will have to wake up very early and have a long journey.

2. Standard
To our knowledge, both schools are English based and supplemented by Mandarin. So this factor seems does not matter. And that's why we have to give it a thought. If they have much difference, we can easily choose between them.

3. Environment
Needless to say, St. Stephen is much better. That's why their school campus is far away from the town.

4. Fees
St. Stephen costs nearly double St. Clare. But this would not be the main factor as we won't apply for it if we can't afford. Also, we know that about half of the teachers are foreigners and with such campus and facilities, you will know what the parents are paying for.

Besides the above, personally St. Clare is my dream school when I was a student. And I found that the English standard and the personality of my ex-classmates from St. Clare and colleagues graduated from St. Clare are really good. But they all say that the school is rather traditional.

As for St. Stephen, heard that their reputation is quite good. My friend's son studying there is very happy. However, she commented that the English standard is very high. (My friend herself and her husband both have a good background). Her son supposed to be in P.3 this year. But because of his English standard, they talked with the school and preferred to let him repeat a year in order to build up a stronger base.

Having so many thoughts on mind, that's why I would like to know other parents' comment to this two schools.

The last point I would like to make is my girl is an outgoing and talkative girl. She likes to response to questions and raise to answer questions. So I'm wondering would St. Clare be too traditional for her.

Dear Candy925,

My son also got admitted. I have checked with the school about school bus service. They say (apart from the listed routes on the school website) there is a school bus serving Kennedy Town/西環--> 學士台--> Belcher's ------> go directly to SSCPS (via Repulse Bay). The travelling time may be long, though. You may call Mr Ho (Route E) directly to have a better idea (his mobile no. can be found in the small booklet).

If your girl is outgoing and talkative, I think St Stephen is a better choice. I also prefer a more all-rounded school for my boy.

Hope you will make the most suitable choice for your girl.

Thank you for your info esp. on school bus which is very useful to me.
However, I'm still considering one point which is the teaching of Chinese. We've called and asked the school today that they teach Chinese in 100% Mandarin and won't supplemented with Cantonese. They will also teach Mandarin phonics.

But my concern is will the kid pick up a Chinese book but can only read in Manadrin? That means she don't know how to pronounce the words in Cantonese unless we teach her at home. It seems to me that she will have a hard time to learn one word in two pronunciation. As she is learning Chinese words now in K.3, I found they have to take some time to remember the word and how to pronounce. If she has to remember one more prounounciation (Cantonese) but with little practise at school. Seems strange. What do you think?

Candy925,

I read your similar Q in another thread. For my son, he is studying in a all PTH/Eng kindergarten since K1. We speak Cantonese+Eng at home. I do not notice any problem with him reading chinese books. Just sometimes/very occasionally he makes a PTH pronounciation when he speaks cantonese - really funny situations). He can read his school books in both PTH and Cantonese. We also do lots of other readings (leisure) at home in Cantonese. (My PTH is not proficient and i don't want him to follow my "accent"!)

Learning a language depends much on the environment. It is v common that kids in European countries learn several language at the same time. I believe kids can learn amazingly faster than we can imagine if we can provide the right environment. Much better than just giving 2-hr PTH private lessons a week. Right?

Maybe other parents can share their experience too.

The way we learnt Chinese in Cantonese dialect already posted a very bad influence in Hong Kong for generations. See what we commonly write in Chinese, either very bad Chinese we found in Newspapers (some even cannot write as clear as newspaper), or very ancient one such as 應用文 used in 50's or 60's like those in Government notices.

Start doing Mandarin education from this generation not only because we have to "work" or "use" in China, but we have to let our next generation use better Chinese than we do, if resources allowed.

Cantonese is a dialect and I am sure the kids can speak it, like Shanghaiese speaks Shanghaiese, Fukins speaks Fukins. But it is problem if they grown up write Cantonese or Think Chinese in a Cantonese way.
