Extra-curricular Activities for students of SJC

My girl is going to study p.1 this year.  As I was not able to search much information from the school's website, can any existing SJC parents tell me if extra-curricular activities (e.g, school choir, sports etc.) will be provided to the their students please?  Great Thanks.

hi Jojo
My son was accepted by this school and will go in next Sept, how is the school as far as you feel?

My P6 son told me his Chinese was taught in Cantonese, while my P4 son said his Chinese course was delivered in PTH. The school also has a "Mandarin" course for students of all grades, this course is taught by a Taiwanese teacher.  

Anyway, I think there is not a strong environment for kids to learn Mandarin in this school, as most kids speak Cantonese or English during daily school life as I can see.

Will they use PTH to teach Chinese?

Tks so much for your information.  My girl has been to many p1 admission interviews but when being asked which school she likes most, her answer is SJC.  I've decided to let her study in that school cos I like English primary school most (my daugter is studying in english kindy which I think she can learn better in an english pri school). She also likes singing and dancing, that's why I'd like to know if the school could provide any extracurrilar activties.

Tks again.

My sons are currently taking the table tennis class...there were other courses like cricket course, gymnastic...not much for musical instruments but there will be school choir practising before Christmas time  (the school choir team performs at the school X'mas Party each year).

And not sure about other grades, for P4 and P6, the school recently offers a "Primary English - English Speaking and Listening Programme"  $214 for half an year, not sure if it is good or not but I enroll for both of my sons.

Now and then the school organizes some outdoors events, last year, my younger son visited the horse club; last month my son (P4) and his classmates visited the HK tunnel control room and my son at P6 visited the Elderly two weeks ago...
