Re: 有關 ST. Mary

MichelleMonMon,

今年小一要20分先有得抽,所以15分我相信機會會好微,至於以31區來抽,就真係要睇運了.

不過想入聖瑪利之前,大家最好就係想清楚先,先至好揀,以免後悔,點解我會咁講,因為我上星期六聽完新生家長講座,我覺得個校長真係唔夠班.

個校長一開始就講,依家唔係學校揀學生(意即學校無得揀學生),而只係家長揀學校,佢仲話啲家長唔知個女讀唔讀得,都幫佢揀聖瑪利,又話出面有好多好學校,如果個女唔讀得到聖瑪利嘅課程,就最好同佢轉校,吓!第一次見面,就同人哋講定轉校? :evil: 點解佢唔檢討吓自己呢?點解要怪晒個學生同家長.

又話叫啲家長喺個女放學後要全程教導佢,唔好交畀補習社教,意即暗示媽咪最好唔返工,唉!依家真係唔使搵食咩,如果個個女人都唔返工嘅,就唔使讀聖瑪利啦,求其搵間學校讀,讀完就搵個人嫁左佢就算,使鬼咁辛苦讀書咩,其實我都知佢點解咁反對啲學生去補習社的,因為佢怕聖瑪利啲試題會流出市面,呢個校長試過唔派返啲卷畀學生架喇,但因啲家長嘈得緊要,所以後來又派返,所以我覺得個校長嘅胸襟真係唔夠廣.

仲有,我聽個家長講,個校長為怕外面啲學校抄襲佢哋,就將啲課程大溝亂,即上學期教教吓上學期嘅課程,無端端又走去教下學期嘅課程,到教下學期嘅課程時,教教吓又走返去教上學期嘅課程,總之唔係順住落去教,咁啲小朋友又點會唔辛苦呢?

不過整個講座都有喜訊嘅,就係喺2005年入讀聖瑪利小一嘅學生,會係一條龍咁上中學,但我私下就叫大家唔使開心得咁快,因為到時校長又會喺小學階段踢幾多學生出校呢? 真係上得到中學嘅又有幾多人呢?

講真丫,踢個學生出校有幾難,最難嘅就係教好個學生啫.

MichelleMonMon,

我個女今年九月會讀聖瑪利,佢係攞住20分抽入的.

如果你無20分,只有15分,或者你可考慮抽九龍塘聖家,因為聽講今年15分都有人抽得入,而我個女嘅同學今年越區抽入九龍塘聖家.

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

HIHI Ballbell，
妳好呀！我個女都係今年小一讀St.Mary，上週六我都有去個新生會呀，本來我對sistero既睇法，都係同你一樣，覺得佢都幾寸架。不過我問過一個今年小二家長，佢話個校長係這樣架，佢會俾家長下馬威，同俾壓力個家長，但對d學生好好，仲請佢食雪糕tim。
另外，今年都有好多升到原校中一，如不太差，都應該冇問題。
我個女讀1A呀，你女女讀邊班呀？

聽你的形容我一點也不感意外，亦可以說完全唔關"校長夠唔夠班"事，呢個校長只不過係完全貫徹嘉諾撒修會學校的"高竇"、"勁寸"風格︰'我地學校係咁架啦，你唔鐘意可以唔讀"。唉！鬼叫佢係名校，大把人等住入咩。

讀呢D學校家長"全程教導"是必須的，好似同修會的另一間姊妹學校(港島區)，由於英文科讀深一學期，即P.1一開始已經讀1B的課本，所以老師打晒電話比家長，叫佢地自己買1A的課本自己教左小朋友先。

其實好多名校都鐘意收D亞媽唔駛返工的小朋友，一來小朋友唔會壞得去邊，二來家長可以幫手谷，睇開D啦。

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

其實我唔係睇唔開架,如果我睇唔開,聽完講座後,我就即時轉校,聖瑪利係一所咩學校,我都好清楚,因為我係舊生,我聽完講座後,佢哋畀我嘅感覺就係一百年不變.

我都希望個校長真係講吓笑架咋,因為我都想我個母校有進步架馬.

我都唔太反對學校用深啲嘅課本,因為我都覺得市面上有啲課本真係比較淺.

至於呀媽最好唔好返工,咁就真係多餘啦,有學問嘅母親唔返工,咁就真係浪費資源了,政府放左咁多錢喺一個人嘅身上,而呢個人唔可以學以至用,唔去回饋於社會,其實我覺得呢類名校好矛盾,仲有父母都要返工的小朋友,唔一定會壞的,反而會比同齡嘅小朋友成熟啲.

我個人就最鬼憎人哋向我施下馬威的,因為我係一個鍾意先禮後兵的,人哋都無話要衰先,咁點解要用啲威勢去嚇人啫.

一校之長係學校嘅靈魂,真係要慎言,如果係心地好嘅,只不過係衰在把口,咁就真係好失敗的.

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

HI ALL:

我同您地一樣覺得個校長講野好似係度嚇d家長咁!我都怕如果個女追唔上,係學校一定會好辛苦.開完家長會我都有問自己有無同個女搵錯學校.

但是我今日係tsimshatsui食野撞到st.mary的學生佢話校長好好人同埋佢好鍾意間學校.其實她有d野都講得對,就是學校幫您50%其他就要家長幫學生,我諗邊間學校都一樣,只係呢間要付出比較多的時間.

lcf,
我個女都係1A,以後可以多D聯絡.

my daughter should be in 1A too, but i have given up my daughter's place in st. mary's this september. we are not coming back from canada due to some other personal reasons. i have 25 marks straight in to get the place. this really makes me feel very unhappy as i love st. mary's very much, i even cried for several nights.

i know the head mistress, she is my sister-in-charge when i was in Form 1. She is a very nice person, take care of students very much. If you choose SMCC, you must keep in mind that you need to give more time to your daughter on her schoolwork. SMCC is a traditional school, a lot of work to do.

agree, but the headmistress is a very nice person, cares for students very much and really wants to solve your problem with you, if any. she is my sister in charge in F.1 and taught me for 5 years. she "inched" us on her first day lesson in F.1, but you will find out that she is a "mouth hard heart soft" type later.

smcc's work is already much easier now than before. when i was in P.1, all lessons were taught in english (except chinese and social studies), all other books were in english - maths, hygiene, science, poetry books, bible knowledge, stories books, music books etc. starting from P.3, we had history, geography, english literature - william shakespeare (all in english). i remember i read the story of Troy(movie that is showing now), the founding of Rome etc. at P.3's history. all english grammar books are using one grade higher, i had book 2A for P.1 first term and book 2B for P.1 second term. same applied to all other grades. I really appreciate this, this give me a very good foundation in english. those stories/history/knowledge etc. that i learned in primary, i knew that some people even not know about this when they were in secondary or even older.

on the other hand, i am very proud of being a st. marian. i know if i were not in st. mary's, i don't know what will i be now - i may turn into a "wet girl" when i was in teenage. i believe that no matter how bad or naughty you were being a st. marian, you won't turn into a real bad "wet girl" or "fly girl", this is because of the environment at school. i had a very lonesome childhood and teenage, nobody to talk with/listen to me at home at all, dad just gave $ and grandma provided meals only. mom was away, had not seen her between my age 6-18. i know if i were not studying in st. mary's, i will not be me as now. i really cried for several nights of not having a st. marian in my next generation.

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

I heard that now they are using Chinese as the teaching media, is this true? How about their books? Are they still having only Chinese subjects in Chinese only? I am studying in an English school in my primary too (Delia) and at that time all my books were in english except Chinese language. I had poetry, history, science, religious studies , hygiene, arithmetic and all were in English and I really enjoy the school life even the books seems very difficult to us. I was studying in a Chinese school first and later transfer in Delia in P4, it was quite difficult at first but I used a semester that I caught up with my classmate and I really enjoy the life there. I believe that all students can do that if they love learning and if they are not, even all books are taught in their mother language, they won’t get the good result.

Even today I still remember some of the contents of my primary books and it made me have good English standard when I got into F1.

I have a girl and I really want her to study in an english primary school for I am sure this will be beneficial to their english standard.

Please let me know more about today's St Mary. Thx

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

Hi ckkwkl - I totally agree with what you say about St. Mary's because I was St. Marians' too, but I think I graudated even earlier than you. Yes, you will never regret from being in that school, even sometimes when I chat with my old classmates, we really feel proud of being a student there. When I was in P.1, all subjects except Chinese are English, and we even have Science in P.2.  I strongly agree that there was no 'wet girl' or 'fly girl', though I still remember that some classmates were from single-parent family.  The atmospher of the school really help you to become a clear-minded., strong-will and independent person.  I spent over 10 years in St. Mary's and then continue my study in HK Baptist College, you know, the feeling that you only attend 2 schools (except kindergarten) makes you have the feeling of stable and comfort.

So, in my opinion, if parents really want to put their girls in St. Mary's, just put confident in the school and you girls, you can see the difference when they grow up when compared w/ other girls studying in a more free-style school.  May be I am quite traditional!!!  My son will be in Grade 3 next year, but I live in Canada now, I always complain to his teacher that why he has so little homework, only one problem a week, I would like him to have more homework than just playing all the time.

BTW, ckkwkl, you said you are in Canada, me too, the education system in HK is really a mess now, how can you apply for your girl's admittance to St. Mary's, I mean the point system, they accept the application even for overseas students?

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

我再補充一吓,雖然我唔多鍾意校長咁講嘢,但我都同意佢講嘅家校合一,所以校長應該唔使咁驚,我覺得依家啲家長唔同架喇,點會依賴晒學校呢?

其實之前都有人同我講過個校長個人好nice喎(但我真係唔識佢,因為我畢左業好耐架喇,我可以大胆講句,所有教過我嘅老師都應該退晒休),但我真係想唔到佢講嘢咁無技巧啫,因為佢講嘅嘢真係做唔到令人心服口服.

無論點樣,我都希望個校長真係會有兩個面孔,對家長一個,對小朋友又另一個.

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

bau,

如果你想你個女讀英文小學,咁聖瑪利幫唔到你,你搵過第二間啦,但如果你想你個女得到良好嘅中英文水平,咁聖瑪利都係一個好選擇.

聖瑪利依家初小大部份嘅課本都係中文,隨左英文同science之外,但佢哋鼓勵小朋友上網,睇每日一篇英文,來增進英文程度,我覺得非常好.

我睇過啲課本,程度都好適中,都唔會太深,又唔會太淺,小朋友應該會讀得來.

到高小啲課本大部份會轉返英文,所以唔担心小朋友唔適應中學.

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

I am an old girl also and my daughter will be in P2 next year.  The speech from the principal was the same last year when I join the parent talk.  I was worried also because I am a busy working mother and my daughter is not from any famous kindagarten (CCKG, St Cath, Ken).  A year had gone.  P1 is not difficult as I have envisaged.  There is no much homework everyday (1 to at most 2 hrs are sufficient) and dictation, test and exam are reasonable.  They have Sicence and P2 English but they are easy (although they have unseen dict) according to my daughter.  Math is even more simple as that in kindagarten.  Unlike other school, they have no exam in Sci and social studies (that makes live a lot easier).  The only difficulty subject is Chinese instead.  The reason why it is difficult is the exam paper do not provide choice of words/phase.  My daughter have a big problem to relate the sentence with the correct phase which she should have learn from the books.  I did a lot to help her and lucky we get through.  My daughter went 2nd in her final exam.
If you work closely with your kid, live in St. Mary is not that difficulf.
In my opinion, the syllabus set by the Education dept is not reason.  Chinese is too difficult and Eng and Math are too simple.
Work on and good luck to all P1 students.

Re: 有關 ST. Mary

j-ma-ma,

我睇完啲書後,我嘅感覺同你一樣,一般小朋友都應該讀得掂.

照你講中文科比較難,又令我想起,唔怪得有補習老師同我講過,聖瑪利啲學生出來補習,唔係補英文,而係補中文啦.

其實數喺初小階段真係唔使太深,因為初小階段理應仲係啟發小朋友嘅腦部潛能階段,只要畀佢哋有適當嘅思考就得,學術上嘅嘢,來日方長.

你個女咁叻,真係替你高興,我都希望我個女遲啲可以識到呢位姐姐,等佢近朱者赤.
