St. Paul happy valley.
Compared with HKCEE result and AL result at their webpage SFC and SPSS, they are very very closed. SPSS a little bit higher in terms of overall passing rate. No result could be obtained at St. Clare Webpage.

Re: St Francis vs St Paul happy valley vs St. Clare's

It's a close match, academic-wise.  As far as I can recall, St Paul's Catholic is more active in ECA.

St Francis is famous of her heavy academic workload and strict Canossian discipline.  The doubtful comments at education.atnext.com keep boasting it public results.  In my opinion, they are good but not that good.

St Paul's Catholic's spiritual atmosphere is the richest among the three.  Its Chinese content may seem disadvantageous.

Litte red cap's impressive moral education may seem not trendy.  And its formal curriculum is very English-inclined.  Under Mrs. Wong's leadership, it's more prominent.  Once in a school event, the headmistress of St Clare Secondary School praised her student's English while urging the parents of primary school pupils to do something to their Chinese.

A diligent displinarian survives well in St Francis;
a devote Catholic Christian enjoys the basking in spirituality;
a girl of filial piesty finds harmony in St Clare.

Dear leschelems,

What about St. Stephen Girls, how this school compared with SFC, SPCS and St. Clare. Would you give some comments?

Tks

Re: St Francis vs St Paul happy valley vs St. Clare's

Poppan123,

睇睇leschelems之前的比較,唔錯架

I believe you do not need any academic highlights.

To see SSGC, I would take the perspective of whole person education.  You must have heard the buzz phrases like holistic development, whole person, all round training.  Nowadays no school would claim an unilateral approach.  The differeces lie in the individual school's interpretation and implementation of this idea.

So what is all-roundedness?  Other than dictionary definition, some schools reduce it to the five (or six) aspects of education, i.e. moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic (and spiritual).  Quite a number of schools practise all-round training by a formal curriculum complemented by student's PARTICIPATION of ECA.  That looks like the minimal all-roundedness.

In my previous writing,  I highlighted some outstanding areas of school mentioned in the captioned theme.  SSGC is different from the rest of them them it is really all-rounded, not only from a school's overall results but also from the student's abilities.  In general, you rarely find major defectives in them.

Of course there are some critics come with her own brand of all-round training.  But I don't want to do anything to incur the wrath of SSGC people.

Re: St Francis vs St Paul happy valley vs St. Clare's

Hi 明心道 ,

Nice to see you everywhere at BBK.

I don't remember I wrote such comments at BBK.  You must be active in that board too.  And I prefer to quote it all by myself.  I even refrained myself from quoting it in the previous discussion "Marymount vs St Stephen's Girls".

Actually, I do have some amendments.

(1) I've lost track of SSGC's public exam results.

(2) To put my previous writing in this context, it may mislead others that the captioned schools are not all-rounded at all.  All-roundedness is a matter of degree, not something all or nothing.  It's not a one-size-fits-all solution.  Different schools' ways lie in different ends of a broad spectrum of holistic developement (I actually prefer this phrase over all-rounded training).  This variety should be encouraged for our children have different characters.

(3) Some kids do prove their exceptional talent in one specific area.  They need special attention to make their good great, or the their great greater.

a really nice analysis
precisely points out the characteristics of 3 schools

As a Franciscan, i agree with your opinions.The school exam result is good, but not as top and good as the atnext states.The school really emphasizes on strict discipline.That's why all the sfcc girls are very obedient. For school workload, it's alright for me in my time. I don't know if it gets more stressful.

Re: St Francis vs St Paul happy valley vs St. Clare's

Check it out. Here's another doubtful comment of atnext.com. According to my source of St Clare's Secondary, a majority of F1 intake are band 2. I don't have any disagreements with the rest though. Any update from St Clare's parents?

問：請問位於西環摩星嶺聖嘉勒女書院的banding、校風、教學模式及讀書壓力？
