I'm struggling whether to let my son attending St Cat or not.

As far as I'm concern, St Cat's strengths include:
- strong in Eng
- kids are generally smart and creative

Apart then that, what are the strengths of this school?

- how about the discipline?
- will kids do their homework by themselves (without the need to supervise?)
- do they love to read books/
- how many extra courses do they need to enrol?

I'm a working mom (v. busy); is St Cat suitable for my son (in fact, for me)?

Thanks!

- discipline ~ 唔會好嚴, 但都要求小朋友上堂時坐定定, 要先舉手. 我仲見到高班的小朋友去排洗前要先講 "may I go to toilet please?" (大約係咁, 唔記得exact wordings)

- 自己做功課 ~ 我唔肯定學校有冇特別訓練, 但我仔(現在高班)是有一點懶, 要人叫才做功課. 唔叫就會掛住玩. (但係做的時候可以自己一個留在房內做)
如果要訓練小朋友自動自覺做功課, so far聽講根德園在呢方面train得好好.

- 讀書 ~ 小朋友大致上都喜歡閱讀. 高班每星期大約會有2本書派/借回家看. 有閱讀獎勵計劃.
當然, 自己做功課同讀書呢兩點家長都要配合一下.

- "how many extra courses do they need to enrol" ~ need的意思是什麼? 學校好似只有2項可以星期六上的課外活動, 是science workshop同drama, 都要外面的workshop攪的. 這些活動是自願性質的, 有些家長會覺得對比外面的興趣班有點貴, 不會參加.

我自己係working mom, 學校旅行時同其他家長傾, 亦有很多是working mom. 我估, 全校的學生媽咪是working mom的, 應該過半數. 所以在bk見過有些人話要係full-time mom才好讀st. cat, 我不同意.
但我相信, 如果是full-time mom, 可以多放些時間跟小朋友溫習, 學多一些詞彙, 小朋友可以更叻.

anyway, 如果我的小朋友考到st. cat我會俾佢讀, 唔會因為自己係working mom定full-time mom而影響決定.

Agreed. My daughter is now studying K2 at SC and I am also a working mom. I am generally satisifed with her progress. Her inititative is not consistent. In recent month, I need to ask her to do the homework. While she is sometimes lazy, I will not push her but remind her that she cannot submit homework to her class teacher, then she will sit down and finish it properly. I think, to certain extent, she understands that doing homework is her responsibility. Besides, she loves reading very much. She always asks me to read story books with her and do the revisions with her after finishing the homework. For discipline, in my view, the school is not very stringent. The kids are quite active and outgoing. My daughter is sometimes 'naughty' especially in front of me. She has her own ideas and creative thinking. If you are looking for good results, parents' involvement cannot be missed. They have quite a lot of revisions and assessments starting from K2. From time to time, they also request parents to prepare something for the kids to bring back school, e.g, show and tell, news sharing and story-telling. So demanding or not depends on what you expect. That's only my personal opinion.
