女孩子選校

happy07pig

非常苦惱, 本人住中西區, 理應選擇女校, 因多是有小學和中學, 之後可免除煩惱.  但今早奶奶的一席言, 令我又要再反思我的選擇.  幼稚園和小學選男女校, 給女兒正常發展, 至中學才轉到女校吧.  那女兒便不會對異性太過好奇, 到中學真正發育時期可以專心讀書.  最後三間真的不能取拾, 怕會後悔給女兒作了錯的決定, 各位可否給點意見 :
1. 聖心(女校, 上午, 有小學和中學, 天主教(本人是基督教))
2. 禮賢會(男女校, 上午, 基督教)
3. 聖保羅堂(男女校, 下午, 基督教)
是否有女孩子會選擇2和3呢?  我多是看到男孩子會選擇.  小學選校和派位又要擔心多一次了.
萬分感激的幫忙 .

hi siufafa,

Yes it really takes a lot of time.....  

Concerning your waiting list situation in TL, I think in general the "game" with the waiting list is really how sincere you are and be able to let the kindergarten see that.  I am no experts on how to write a really touching letter but I think one key is to be patience.

A lot of time parents have been dragged for too long emtionally and cannot stay with the waiting too long.  There are always a lot of last minute changes which cause a chain of seats to be re-open at the last minute.

Concerning whether it is good to go to TL from TKO, I guess that depends on any plans to move or staying in TKO.  Also, financially if having 3 kids to private school is in your plan or you have other plan.  Because you would lose the 5 extra points for the first which can benefit the younger sibling to follow in the same school.  Private schools doesn't have such privilege.

Hi Ian,
I read most of your articles and as a father, you have spent a lot of time in the Hong Kong education system.  I really appreciate your time and effort and I am looking forward to reading your book and your advice to other parents in BK.
My daughter will go to K1 in the coming Aug 2010.  I am living in TKO and have already secured a seat at Lam Tin Ling Liang Kindergarten (she is studying N1 there and she likes this kindergarten very much).  We are waiting for TL at Tai Hang but the results will only be announced in Aug 2010.  We have already written 4 letters to TL to ask for a seat.
1.  Do you think the chance to go to TL is minimal under waiting list?
2.  Given my current situation, if TL really accepts my daughter, should I go (my major concern is traffic and 2 more babies (1B & 1G) will be coming)?
Thanks for your advice in advance.

It is the same, SHCK main focus is also on moral education, it is also a "healthy" kindergarten so snacks arranged at kinder are all healthy foods.

Ian, thanks for your reply.  I'm still struggling cause I really want to choose the "right" kindergarten for my daugther.  

adv: As my friend told me that SPC puts more effort on 德育培養, so their graduates always get good marks in tests/exams in primary schools as they have self-discipline.  我認為幼稚園最重要不是著重灌輸學術知識, 而是學習態度.  So that's why I choose this school.

Ian, how about SHCK?  As I know, this is also a very good kindergarten and has primary and secondary school ...   

I know I must make a decision soon... Ian, can you help?

iantsang

Oh, haha, actually I forgot this topic was related to SHCK tim!  So sorry as so many other parents raised relevant questions on other girls' kindergartens!  I was wondering why suddenly someone mention about lucky draw for SHCSPS and just confirm it.

So you also went to SHCK to pay for uniforms and books earlier this week too?  Still cannot decide?  Better do it soon 'coz really both are popular choices and many are still waiting.....  but sure you must find out more and decide.

Sure St. Paul's Church has more boys and that is a natural fact.  Higher percentage of their students do  to St. Paul's college (boys) but that is just above 10%!  Quite interesting conversation that you picked up!

Oh!!  It's such a good news to us as I'm still considering which kindergarten should my daughter go to.  

今日去咗聖保羅堂交費, 發覺老師偏愛男仔, 聽見A老師問隔離個B老師: 點解今年多咗咁多女仔架??... 表情有點不悅... 咁B老師就答: 女仔唔好咩??   A老師苦面咁答: 咁又唔係... ... 見到d老師多喜愛與男小朋友交談... 不其然心裏有點不安... 知道有些家長選擇入讀真的是因為多小朋友會入讀st paul boy小學...

Hi maewmaew,

I guess the concern which I have on both are they are newly setup.  I think LH is quite a happy style but GH.....  really can't tell.  With their primary school, I really not sure if they would run a relax type.

Anyway, I heard about LH Lohas Park will start late so just go ahead and study in GH first and decide.  I would say if GH has some elements they like, may as well stay since having primary backup is a luxury to have.  (Only 1,000 students every year can have a guarantee primary seat as they enter kindergarten)

Hi, Ian

The reason she think it could happen due to LH TKO Campus schedule to be open by around Oct-Nov. GHS will be starting by Sep and they are also living at Lohas, Tko. And it makes her chance to try the GHS by the first 2 months and further can see the result and how's the girl react if going to 2 Kindergarten.

However, since she has been already jumping the step to the last and she is scare by she needs to make the decision very soon which one to be choose. What will be your opinion of both school ?
Is her decision too aggressive due to both of this two schools are newly set up ?
LH, I personally think their set up might be a bit organize than GHS due to the hardware is available but new Campus. But again, GHS has the back up and basically, GHS and LH might be a good combination if the kids+parents can suffer.

So, do you think both Kindergarten is running happy kinder concept ? Can that be a combination ?
thanks for your comment.

But would it be too far away to attend both the same day?  Honestly, the first month of K1 is not really that big a deal so skipping some days are fine.  Let the child attend both on the same day or alternative day and see her feeling on either one.  I don't recommend to stay with both for long since it couldn't be quite tough.

since my friend donot have the own Bk a/c and hereby I would like to seek your comment o/b of her.
As said, since she like GH's back up but also the syllabus and the replacement result of LH. t4, she can't make up her mind .. and might consider to go to both kindergarten if she can't make the decision.
what do you think about that ?

For your friend's case, I guess there is no perfect world so your friend must ask which one he/she prefers more.  Obviously the LH's curriculum comparing with GH would be so different that a choice must be made for either one.

Hi, Ian

for sharing, I have been finally register GHS by even they offer me PM class and will give up KV 100%. Base of my observation of the attitude of my daughter, am quite sure that she's not the type by going to the traditional school. So I think to give up KV is correct and ontop I found the traffic is terrible jam in the morning time at Kowloon Tong Area.

Greenville, yes I like them very much but I think I have to face the reality that the competiton is so high this year.

GHS, while I go there to paid the misc charges few days ago.. Ms Chiu (working at GHS Kindergarten) has been explain and answer us the questions.
to be frank, GH Primary school is still not my target school uptp this moment but I will certainly take their offer if I have such a bad luck that I didn't get any offer from my target DSS and ontop get a lousy school during the allocation

Furthermore, I would like to seek your comment for one of my friend who is getting the seat from LH Lohas Park (English/Mandarin class) and GH.. They like GHS's back up but also love the syllabus of LH (by especially after they know the placement result of LH this year that some of the LH's students are getting the seat successfully of their target DSS like 播道, 培僑書院, 陳守仁, 宣道 etc...
Tks for your tips in advanced.

Hi gloriahung,

Cannot say recommend but there are a few schools I have considered near the areas you mentioned: Pui Ching, Pooi To, and Our Lady's.  Aided schools like Heep Yunn and Holy Angels.

However, I think their style with Good Hope is quite different.  Do you prefer schools with strict discipline and stronger emphasis on academic?
