Urgent! Please advise Raimondi vs. 聖保祿天主教

cmchang0927

I don't know which one to choose for my daughter!  We have a little brother at home.  If we choose St. Paul Catholics, he will have no marks for next yr's first round.  But St Paul Catholics is free and I heard that it's a good school.   So if you were me, which one will you choose?  Please kindly advise................

If I don't get you wrong, you have got 2 kids right?, the small one is a boy who studying in Ling Nam?
And your big one is a girl? and have the offer of St. Stephen and RC? And you are waiting for DGJS 2nd interview result?  Wha is the Kindergarten your big kid studying?

I ask because I have the similar case as yours.

Thanks

Yes ah.  I don't give up.  In the meantime, I would take the opportunity to explore more about both schools.

我都係最近收到取錄信,才有心機出來看看咋!
之前囝囝未有着落,真係一啲心機都無,直情什麼也不想做.
真係好彩,最後都有一間肯收我囝囝,真係一額汗.
連我囝囝,當知道有學校終於肯收他時,他也大聲"Yeah"了出來.
學你話齋,現在我哋好好享受k3的生活了,下年就係我的死期了!

Thanks for your comfort.  I think moral development is more important than academic achievement.  Now she is lucky to get into St. Paul which always emphasizes ethnical issues.  I hope she can grow up as a happy and good person. Apart from DGJS, are u still expecting results from St. Stephen's?

Don't look down on our kids.  Kids are developing on their own pace and on a different scale.  The kids that I knew who got admitted to one of those elite schools are not the bright ones I know, they did not so good in the kinder.  Not making sense to measure a kids' ability at this early stage.  We're all just playing a game.

Let's focus on building our kids' confidence and curiosity in learning are essential to their study all the way into uni.

True.

In fact, the school is making an effort to pilot a small class teaching scheme with p.3 Chinese Language subject this year. The class is divided into half and they each have one Chinese Language teacher teaching them respectively. I really appreciate the school's initiative on this project as it means a lot of work on resources and planning.

Given the popularity, it is more difficult for traditional schools in the area to go small-class.

Welcome to SP. Visit our SP threads often and don't be scared by our grumbles. They are all happy grumbles anyway.

我讀小學時都見過有同學仔一起拍拖...那時只有一兩pair...宜家可能好多.....

Pls note that early maturity of kids is a growing and irreversible trend, as U said if yr kid want to meet friends of opp sex, he/she can do so with relative ease but if my son dates a girl at P5, I'd rather he dates someone fom the same school and at least U have better knowledge of her backgraound rather than someone from the Cyber world
