St Paul Coed Primary - 2008 intake

papadad

My son is going to SPCC in 2008. Does anyone know about the school bus arrangements for the new campus?

gogochurch

Hi papadad,

We are not informed about that because the parents only asked about after school arrangement for students staying behind for ECA.  The details should be announced in the new student orientation in June.

Hi,

I just pass by.  My daughter is in P. 3.  
While you are contracting bus service, you may wish to consider after school extra-curricular activities.  

There are many activities after school daily, like swimming, table tennis, maths, instrument class, school team practice, etc.  So kids do not finish school at the same time.  My girl takes school bus in the morning but not so often after school, though we have been paying for both trips.

The school informs that there will be school bus service to Admiralty and North Point MTR every half hour for students who stay behind after school.

Hi,

I have just talked with my neighbour who has a daughter studying at P2 in SPCC. She is going to ask others parents who are living in Eastern Kowloon whether they would be interested to join the EK bus route.

If you are interested to join the Eastern Kowloon route (TKO and Lam Tin), please PM me ASAP. Once we have the name list, we'll liaise with the school company to establish a bus route for students in Eastern Kowloon. The bottomline is to minimize the number of stops and use the Eastern Kowloon tunnel so as to reduce the travelling time.

我也是住在九龍塘的。
請問有沒有家長知道St.Paul's Co-Edu位於黃竹坑的新校舍地址呢？

I checked with the School Bus company and was told that the current bus runs from Shatin, Kowloon Tong and then Ho Man Tin before going to the Tunnel.  However, if thereare students in Whampoa, they will also take them first before crossing the tunnel.  Moreover, the School Bus for Kowloon Tong also takes students from other schools and are dropping off kids in Happy Valley and Wanchai.  I think if the bus goes from Hunghom tunnel directly to Aberdeen tunnel, that should be OK.  But if it goes down to Happy Valley and Wanchai, then it may catch the traffic jam.  Of course, the School Bus company said that they'd make sure that the kids will not be late for school.  But as parents, what we want is to minimize the travelling time.  Therefore, I am also asking if there are new students 2008 so that we can at least try to work out something to help our kids.  Or else, the last resort is to move to the HK side - but then, I guess in each of the HK districts, the travelling time may not necessarily be less since the bus may have to take as many kids as possible, even in the same district .  My niece who is currently studying at Kennedy Road SPCC Primary Section travels for 45 minutes back to Conduit Road, which is the 2nd - 3rd last stop.

What are your views?  Contact me if possible.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Thank you very much.

winniechanchan,

Are you consider going to school by taxi? group or individual? I've also considered grouping enough students by taxi but it turnned down because of  the issue of safety(if all P.1...too small even with one adult).  Do you have any idea?

I sum up the preference of each parent as follows:(please amend if needed)

	TKO	Lam Tin	Diamond Hill	Kowloon Tong	Hung Hom
1.	ABCD5678	Footballba	CM parent	lemonred	Storydaddy
2.	SIJC	papadad		bebebaba
3.	Julmama	Papadad’s neighbour A		TL128
4.	winniechanchan	Papadad’s neighbour B
5.		Cherie123

Welcome to show your preference

Does anyone know how long does it take to drive from TKO to SPCCPS new location?  Assuming no traffic jam as in early morning.  How much will it cost if go by taxi?

BillieBug

Given no traffic jam, I believe it may take less than 1/2 hour to the school from TKO. For the taxi cost, it must be more than HK$100 for the trip.

It seems many of us living in TKO or Kowloon side.  It increases the chance of arranging some faster and more direct school buses for our children.  Transportation is one of the main point for me of being a Kowlooner to consider the offer.

winniechanchan

dear footballba,

please count me for the TKO route at this moment...although we are considering to move to HK island

thanks

It seems that some show interest in arranging school bus in East Kowloon(by Eastern Tunnel).  I've tried to summarised the list and welcome new SPCC parent to show preference, Thanks.

Hi footballba,

Sure, I understand you didn't have any bad intention:

Regarding the new campuse, I totally agreed it is an excellent place.  However, I really afraid there are a lot of mosquito

SIJC

另外，我覺得校舍四周環境十分清幽，被很多茂密深緣的大樹包圍著，有少許地靈人傑的感覺。

i have visited the construction site twice, and totally agreee this!! the environment is excellent for our children to study there.  There is no any public transportation reaching there at this moment, so school buses, taxi or private cars may be the only ways to go to school before ,hopefully, minibus service is arranged for that area.  I drove from TKO and it was very smooth except there's some jam near World trade centre.  The campus is just near the toll gate of the tunnel.

lemonred

我之前所見的和你所見的差不多, 不過, 我真係好想知道是否今年收得特別多九龍學生, 究竟150個新生, 有幾多個是住在九龍, 若有很多, 學校都必須一定要安排保母車接九龍學生返學....????

storydaddy & footballba,
今天的行程尚算順利，只是駕車兜了少許路，但最終都能找到南風徑。
個人感覺：原來新校舍就在香港仔隧道收費亭旁邊，眼見校舍由數個組合而成，最左應是入口處，有St.Paul's Co-Edu新校舍圖片，最右那座建築物最高。因校舍外牆搭建了很多棚架，故難以估計是否能如期完工。但觀乎眾多地盤工人努力地工作，各位家長大可放心！
另外，我覺得校舍四周環境十分清幽，被很多茂密深緣的大樹包圍著，有少許地靈人傑的感覺。:loveliness: 而距離校舍1分鐘左右路程，則有一所黃竹坑老人服務中心，再走到南風徑路口，又有一所老人院。
已到現場實察的家長，有沒有補充的地方呢？
