The tuition fee and travelling time is really a concern.  This is a value judgement and different person have different conclusion.

I am not saying Raimondi no good.  But if cost and distance are the same, I think most would choose St. Stephen.

I think all kids would prefer St. Stephen to Raimondi, due to its pleasant campus environment and friendly atsmophere. As parents we should take into account many factors such as tuition, location and other associated costs. The monthly expenses at St. Stephen is estimated to be as much as $10,000, almost double that of Raimondi.

I would opt for Raimondi, having considered all factors. The quality of education is not justfied for such a huge gap in terms of expenses.

My kid said he liked 士堤反 the most.  In fact, I found him the happiest during the interview date in 士堤反.  I will likely choose 士堤反 and register next Mon.

If you follow this link, you can see RC did has 2 9A 1C in last yr HKCEE and contrary to what U say St Stephen College should be less pushy, it is more an in-between of international school and traditional school, this is description used by principal Ms. Wai in info session in this yr and in the past (I checked with a parent of current students)

I'd say if you plan yr kid to study in H.K., RC may be a better choice and at lower cost. On the other hand, if you aim to study at top school abroard (and willing to pay top school fees as well -don't really count on scholarship cause the economy of western world is really bad), then St. stephen will be better choice. Just my 2 HK cents.

Dear Jack0128,
Do you know if there are one or two "main" class teacher in 1 class in P.1 in SSCPS? (雙班主任制 just like the arrangement in CKY?) Seems if 2 teacher in 1 class the care will be much better.
Also is the maths in SSCPS taught in Cantonese? in PTH? or in Eng?
I just heard from a maths teacher that his experience is: children learn Maths in their mother language is much much better than those learning via Eng! b'cos of the analysis, memorization skill e.g. 背乘數表 etc.
How about the teaching mtd of Chinese? 用"高效識字法"嗎？which chinese textbook is used in P.1?
Would you pls kindly share your idea and your experience?
Thank you!

我個女又係兩間都有報讀, 高主教取錄左, 但聖士提反就冇。我自己咁睇, 講名氣, 聖士提反出名D。高主教前幾年都仲係男校, 兩年前先開始收女生, 整體男女生比例一定冇聖士提反 (大約50:50) 咁平均。

兩間都係英文小學 ...

Same as you I enrol my daughter for Raimoni and St Stephen Preparatory, both accepted her.  

Preference is to go for St Stephen Preparatory as I love the all-round training programme, as for Raimondi too many boys and traditional school which is very demanding....

Jack0128

I just know the primary school's English is very high. My son studies for two months and writes an  English composition " How to bake the cake"
and knows to write an recipe.

They use PTH daily, of course, can speak, no problem.

SSC got a 10'A' this year, information from their website.

I would like to know in terms of English and Mandarin and academic studies, which one reputation is higher?

We all know St. Stephen is expensive and much well-known.

But what is the outcome for recent years?  Like, going to Hong Kong University or Chinese University,etc.  

I heard boys from St. Stephen, their English is not as what they said that good.  People only speaks well but result from public exams are not really good.

Any more information about both schools?

Expensive school fee + misc and location for St. Stephen are really the main concern for 12 years.

高主教確實比較適合一些有紀律的小朋友讀, 學校對學生的品行要求幾高.

我個仔都收到呢兩個offer, 我決定唔交 RC 留位費, 因為我個仔非常活躍, 而在面試當日, 他在St. Stephen 的表現出真我個性, 而在RC 面試時是有病在身, 精神不足就自然比平日"斯文", 以他的性格來說, 其實, St. Stephen 比較岩佢

weiweiwei

We have discussed with our little daughter... She like St. Stephen because of the seafront environment...consider the super high rise price of living in HK.... the school fees match with the environment.... anyway thx. for all help !!

舊年囝囝都被這兩間學校取錄，論方便當然灣仔區Raimondi。
我就想囝囝開心啲，及語言環境為優先。
所以選定聖士提反書院。囝囝真係好喜歡返學。
連默書，老師都會同佢温習。好正。
