Hi CrabPincers :This is what I think too. I never expect my girl to be the top top student. I agreed with you that 校風好 is very important.In addition, 直屬/聯繫中學 is the most important thing I consider.
This is what I am thinking of as well. Of course, it will depend on the registration status on how many "Offer" students decide to go to other school and give up CKY place which I hope I am on of the lucky one to get an offer for my kid. Seriously, there are a lots of X factors involved and what I can do now is to sit and wait. I heard a case from last year that one student gave up hope on CKY, buy all the uniforms, books, school bus...etc for the other school, spend alomost $10K and ready to start at the other school. 4 days before school start, CKY called in and offer a place for her kid......
Hi 哈比: Yes, this is exactly what I think as well after hear all information and advices from different people. Seriously, Childern competing on positions for secondary school are already very tuff these days and imagine what will happen in another 6 years. Just comparing this year vs 2-3 years ago on primary school places are two different stories and will get more and more tuff on the upcoming years. feel sorry for the kid these days.
I see. Thanks for your information. But the question is I only have 2 choices between TSL vs St Clare's for primary school. If I choose St Clare;s and if my kid can achieve good results in the next 6 years, I still have St Clare's secondry school as a backup and still can apply for the good secondary school in the same district "中西區". My husband and I really like TSL and is cheaper too, but no secondary gets us worry!.
Hi: So far what i have heard from st clare's is good. Can you please give me a bit more information on which area or why their secondary school is so so? thx!
Actually, I just quoted some of them for reference. I don't know much about PLK Ngan Po Ling College. All I know it's related to PLK. But if you live near TSL, it's a good school for you w/economical fees. I'm still thinking about it, but it's too far for me.
I quote some of the data on the last page of the green covered prospectus that I got during the 1st interview (9/10/11) :
