Both of them are good. But I think 宣道 is better.

I would like to ask what sorts of experiences you gain in this primary school places allocation system. I feel aweful.
If you dare to try it again in secondary school, that is OK and go ahead.
If not, I am sure that Good Hope School is better than Alliance Primary School whatever in academic requirement, sports and extra-curriculum activities.
The most important that your kid and you does not need to experience this unnecessary pressure again, please make a right choice
thanks

I picked GH. Music is something you don't have to necessarily get from school. I believe the NEW campus of GH, and their strong English teaching skills are much better than Alliance.
Just my personal opinion. My daughter is doing piano, and yamaha, and ballet, all of which I think is supplementary and complementary to her academic studies.

I wouldn't choose a school purely on musical interests, not unless you plan for professional career, and have reason to believe your child will walk that path. Then, I would go for studying at APA instead.

Alliance's fees for music lesson are VERY expensive. Just what I heard.

If money is not a concern for secondary school, GH is better. Picking GH, you are ensured to at least have a secured seat in Secondary Section - one of the top Secondary School in Hong Kong.

Even if you want to try to enter MCS during primary school period, the success rate from GHS to MCS is higher.

如果你唔反感必修音樂，我估宣道可能會開心d！我份人都夠谷架啦，GH的style仲谷過我，而且好死板，我覺得好似過左火位！

事關我識兩個小朋友係入面讀，都讀到好似呆呆頓頓咁，攪到我對呢間學校印象好差，或者係我睇法偏激左少少啦，我講出來都只是希望家長多些參考！

If you don't mind that GH is a "girl" school,then i think GH is much better than the Alliance primary school.
GH - there are also some musical extra-curriculum for the students.as i know that their teacher also teaching in some professional academy.Moreover,GH also teaching advanced syllubus in their english subject,just like Alliance primary school.Then,they have a new campus and has a secondary school.The environment surrounding the school is much more silence and fresh compare with Alliance primary school.

On the other hand,Aps's student has to choose at least one kind of musical intrument training that chose by teacher rather than according to the student's preference,it is compulsary,so poor!!
And their summer holiday just have not more than 1 month every year,it is because the student need to go to school 1 month earlier than the new term,as their teacher said the they need to teach much more advance than the other school,so their student need to have well-prepared!!I think it is too horrible for parents and chiildren!!

這片資料係完全錯誤的。

宣小很重視孩子的假期。事實上，宣小的暑期班似興趣班，似係「返去玩」，多過上課。

因此越高年班，越少家長安排孩子上學校的暑期班。最近兩年，學校為此加入實用一些的暑期課程供家長選擇，如GAPSK(這是普通話的公開試課程)。

前年亦向家長做過調查，看看家長對甚麼暑期班有興趣，學校列出多些新的暑期班選擇，這包括一些實用課程，如中英文作文班。不過，最後這些班都開不成，我聽過一些家長說，這是因為價錢貴或因為無法組合出三小時的課程，而令安排校車和接送有困難。

"""On the other hand,Aps's student has to choose at least one kind of musical intrument training that chose by teacher rather than according to the student's preference,it is compulsary,so poor!!"""

It is not compulsary to learn 2 instruments!!!!  Some students don't even have any instrument!

"""And their summer holiday just have not more than 1 month every year,it is because the student need to go to school 1 month earlier than the new term,as their teacher said the they need to teach much more advance than the other school,so their student need to have well-prepared!!I think it is too horrible for parents and chiildren!!"""

We usualllly finish school before mid-july.  Indeed, after end of final exams, there are only different kinds of activities before summer vacation commence!  School term starts on 1st of Sept unless it falls on holidays!!  There are optional summer classes for students with arranged school bus services so some parents may choose to take summer courses.  And starting from this couple years, there are GAPSK putonghua courses in preparation for upper classes students to take public exams!  Summer vacation has no homework at all.  They recommend students to broaden their experience in different aspect instead of regular academic work!  Usaually, school band will have a trip overseas.  Just the past year, the school band was invited by the government of Singapore to be the guest of honor to their ANNUAL YOUTH FESTIVAL performers.  We had a very nice exchange and experience. Now there are quite a lot summer school exchanges. But this kind of exchange is really different.

We need to understand that there is no free lunch in this world.  There are nine school bands in APS, and the efforts of conductors, instructors, teachers, students as well as parents do devote themselves on the school (different areas ) to gain the great result.

How can a school with no connection on secondary allocation can get so good allocation result. There are some kind of pressure nut deserve or not, suitable to you or not, it is absolutely your choice.

I believe the APS Parents over BK are very willing to share their own experience with the school.  Also we have the responsibility to clarify something it is not clear or not true.  Please if you have something not sure, get it out and see any response or feedback and not let the rumors grow.

It is truth that music learning music is a long term commitment as it cost time and money. Not only you need to pay for the instructor's tuition but you also need to consider lots of spending on participation on Royal Exam and Music Festival. Unlike piano, all other instruments require an accompanist 伴奏! It is expensive to add up the extra-curricular fee. The path for APS takes quite long term investment. GH may not cost as much as APS except they have higher school fee!
