Oh when I said this current year, I meant the current K3 students.  For the coming year K1, I forsee the private section will have one more classroom vacant by that time so they may have the flexibility to open one more class (subject to their management's decision, of course).  If that really happen, then we are talking about 4 classes in private section which can take at max 150-160 students.  Still a bit far from the total 240 of kinder students.  But basing on this year's experience, seems this number can already satisify the need from most of the kindergarten girls who wanna aim for private section.

Concerning the other post I made last year, the selection process was only to ask each students to submit a 3-pages profile.  However, what exactly they are looking for from the profile, we still have no ideas.

For the gov't aided section, SHCK students would have preference during door knocking stage (that's all I can say, legally).

Hi ccicq,

Actually this situation only happens this current year, as there are 240 SHCK K3 students where there are only just around 100-120 seats for the private section.  Normally the problem won't arise as normally we only have 180 students and part of them will aim for the gov't aided (pm) primary school thru discretionary places + central allocation.  Of course, there are also some students which will go elsewhere.  If that's the case, then there are no such issues in the past as really, not everyone aim for private section only.

Just a note, SHCK, SHCSPS and SHCS are all under different administration.  So basically they are different schools.  So unlike True Light, St. Clare's or Pui Ching, which their kindergarten is associated the primary school's administration, same issues occur for kindergartens like SHCK and SPK that the admissions to P1 cannot be guaranteed.

At the moment, since result of central allocation is not yet released (in June), for those who still haven't got the offer will have to wait for the result to come out and re-shuffle the seats everyone have in hands.  Hopefully if more SHCK students can get their seats from SHCS thru central allocation or door knocking, then all the remaining ones can be offered.  Also, some of them may get seats from other good primary schools too and seats can be released.

This is what I can share.

Just realize I was so sick (I was having fever in the afternoon) and didn't really answer some of the questions you asked originally.

(1) SH is not guarantee but they will try to accept all if possible.

(2) both primary and secondary are band 1 (meaning with over 50% band 1 students).  I assume SH's secondary should be consider better than PC on public exams.

(3) You can refer to the bus routes in this post:
http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/viewthread.php?tid=2273482


For your further query, PC and SHCK both don't guarantee the younger siblings to be admitted.  I dunno about PC's case but if the young ones can be at least in the waiting list of SHCK, then they should have some preferences on them.

For those SHCK students who will head elsewhere, normally is because they get lucky thru discretionary places or central allocation and got seats from schools like Marymount, St. Mary's, etc.  A few may head to St. Paul's Co-ed, DGJS, or other DSS schools.  Of course, many of them instead of going to private section, will go to the pm gov't aided section, particularly for those with younger sisters.

No need for interviews and the seats for SHCK students and outsiders are separated.

Ian, please check pm, thanks !

now that we have finished the kinder interview for both girls, I tend to agree that we shouldn't affect the elder one's choice because of the second one.  Since they can be so different.

btw, I strongly disagree to use alumni for comparison during KG comparison.  Just my personal view.  These alumni carries certain traits of these schools, but they cannot represent the schools.

Sorry for the late reply.  I had terrible stomachache last night and cannot sleep a bit......

Anyway, back to the question being asked.  I guess you may not had read some of my previous posts.  The three offers we were choosing between for our elder one were: (1) Kentville, (2) Pui Ching and (3) Sacred Heart.  (yes, same as yours Sheffield!)

The list of kindergartens we applied were built around Kentville back then as our original target, since we prefer stronger academic preparation.

Then we received Pui Ching offer in early January.  Although my elder one is August B, she has a rather mature character and God, she loves to share everything.  So, the AM offer were not too much of surprise and for a few days.....  I was considering attending both KV and PC!  So we got the academic prep and PC for the one-dragon.

Then just a few days later, SHCK announced their result (that year it was much earlier with half the number of applicants and no crashes with the CNY) and our daughter got the offer, which everyone in the family were anticipating.

Having give so detail background since I dunno what your situation is really.  So, hopefully by sharing these you would understand why we chose SHCK at the end.  BTW, we live in N.T side and we have a younger one to follow.

The issue here is, if there is a younger son, then I may vote for PC slightly more.  However, their easy curriculum is really not what we are expecting.  For the case of SHCK, I originally expect they may just be similar to PC, or may be a bit better.  At least there may just be a few days more of English and PTH lessons, which for me, is already enough.  I don't find building strong language skills is that necessary in kindergarten, but they need to be exposed to them.  (Hope this doesn't contradict each other).  In simple word, I am looking for a balanced curriculum.

Just compare SHCK and PC's kindergarten, I will definitely vote for SHCK, without a single doubt.  For the concern of one-dragon security, it is true that PC is by far the most secure one, but it doesn't mean SHCSPS and SHCS will not accept all the students from SHCK, at the end.  I am in fact quite confident for them to eventually mange it before the start of coming academic year.  This is a piece of risk which I realized while most SHCK parents assumed it is automatic.  And I am willing to take this risk.
