Dear Chatter,

Thank you v. much!!! 下星期1st interview, 有d緊張。我很喜歡這校的英語環境，一條龍，能有多些空間讓孩子發展。希望能夠順順利利。

你覺得這校的宗教氣氛濃嗎？老師有愛心嗎？能關顧學生的德育嗎?可否分 ...

Me too.  I just handed in the application today and will have interview next week.

During the 1st interview, what kinds of games / questions will be given to the kids?

Hi Chatter,

Thank you for your clarification.  I have, in fact, gone through quite a number of topics on BK about St Margaret's.  And from what I've read, the parents are happy and impressed by this school.

The principal did mention during the introductory talk that they wanted to accept more students whose English is better.  And it is true, that this will make a better English-speaking environment for all the students.

But at the same time, I would like to know about the Chinese level of the students studying there.  Would the school have put too much emphasis on English that Chinese would be sacrificed?  Or it's just normal and expected that an English school will not have very good Chinese?

It seems that your child is studying at St Margaret's now, could you please let me know your (or any other parent's) view on the Chinese level of the school?

Thank you in advance.

學生係課堂基本上都係用英語交談, 不過小息及自由活動時,大家都係香港人自不然會講返廣東話.  但其實學生普遍英文水平都係幾好, 聽講都無問題.

我帶個女去面試當日，剛剛有兩班中學生在校務處外面排隊，以我所見，所有學生都是用廣東話對話的，沒有一個用英語。

難怪簡介會時，校長都說希望多收英語好或是以英語為母語的學生，這樣才真正可以製造英語環境。 ...

So far the teachers we came across have been very caring and at the same time displines the pupil if they've mis-behaved.
There is a Religous Study lesson (in English) every week, teaching pupil prayers and bible stories. I think this is excellent as it educates children about love, how to be kind to people around us.

Hi ANC,

My son is now in P1.  He enjoys his school life a lot so far.

He has picked up a lot of new English words in the last 1.5 months.  And he has to talk to teachers in English (even in Music, Visual Arts, or PE class).  I think he still talks to his classmates in Chinese but I saw some other pupils (they look like P3-4), they talk to each other in English..

For modern language, in P1 & P2, they get to learn all 3 of them (French, Spanish, Japanese, one language per term) so they can have a taste as to what they like.  In P3, they will have to pick one and focus on that.

你覺得這校的宗教氣氛濃嗎？老師有愛心嗎？能關顧學生的德育嗎?可否分享一吓第三語言的(spanish/french)的安排呢?

謝謝!

ANC,

My son was 08/09 admittance to P1, and back then :

Ist in - child only, but you need to answer a question sheet regarding the school's mission etc...

2nd in - parent / parents only. But understand from a friend who's son attended this year's interview and learnt from this space that the child need to attend the 2nd in as well

Personally, I think the portfolio would help the school to understand your son more

Good luck!

Chatter

rachncurtsmom,

As you have correctly pointed out those are the secondary pupil and not primary pupil. Majority of the lower primary pupil speaks very good English, and around 30% (my guess) of primary entrance pupil are naive english speakers. Plus the english speaking enviranonment of the school improves the pupil's English standard greatly. I am sure SMCE parents agree with this.

There are lots of info about SMCE in this space, including language level of SMCE pupil. If you are serious about sending your kid to SMC, I suggest you should understand more about it.

Good luck and hope your child will get in the school of your choice

第一輪面試不用見家長，家長要填一頁紙的問卷，第二輪面試才要見家長。

我知有!! 原來 st paul's (銅鑼灣果間) 係可以既. 即使佢收左你, 都仲可以去攪珠.

ANC

好想了解多些這間學校，幸好這裏有你們的分享，真是好，謝謝!

想請問1st interview要唔要見家長?使唔使填問卷?如要，會問什麼？以各位家長的經驗，學校是否會看那份portfolio?重唔重要呢?請各位家長分享，謝謝!

要求你放棄統一派位 -----> 呢個我都聽人講過........真係要打去學校問先知.......

心儀邊一間政府學校 ------> St. Mary's

leil_girl

係所有直資學校都係咁,因它們是受政府資助的,以我記憶是沒有一間直資是有例外的,

如果想報學校作後備,只可以報私校,但之前在其它人的討論上見到好似有些私校是取錄了,都會要求你放棄統一派位,
但邊間就唔記得.

咁我想請問, 係咪所有直資學校都係咁架? 有冇邊間係例外呢?

咁如果我想報定一兩間做後備, 又想參加政府自行分配學位, 咁就只可以報私校係咪?

因這是一間直資學校,如學校取錄了,而你又決定入讀此校,就必須放棄政府派位

而至於你所說 : 學校網頁講, 話唔受政府派位限制,
是指任何人事都可申請,沒有校網限制,因此校是以INTERVIEW 來取錄學生,

我睇完家長報料, 我對呢間學校都有興趣. 因為我都想培養個女係英語環境讀書返學.

我睇佢收生網頁講, 話唔受政府派位限制, 咁意思係咪即係話, 就算收左, 都可以繼續去參加自行分配學位呢? 呢個問題都幾重要....... ...
