高主教 vs 玫瑰崗 vs Victoria, 點揀好?

Kyle-C

高主教: 半龍校, 但冇學卷 玫瑰崗: 有學卷, 課程多完化, 派位好, 但好遠好交通好唔方便
Victoria: 學習語文基礎環境好, 但課程深度不及主流學校

點揀好?

其實收九千有機會賺少過收$660。正常你讀先至會交。

Don't talk about long away story. My friend got offer  this year. Victoria asked the to give $9000 d ...

如果你係on waitlist等緊一間你好心儀既學校時，你就會明白呢個政策係幾好！

作為細仔媽，為某些龍校的備取生，我明白備取生的痛苦，慢長的等待是很折磨人的，但我也明白父母想為子女挑最好學校的心理，只是何謂最好？個人覺得適合孩子，配合到家庭生活為好。

我同意學校收按金，讀完就發還，其實是想父母想清楚真是會讀才留位，除了對有好多offer的父母做成要取捨的不便外，對其他等緊位的孩子其實是德政。利申：我有vic的offer。

Have already found the primary schools which their graduates went to in the last two years.  Very impressive!

Yes $9000 deposit is a bit strange.  But Aii, low application fee and reservation fee does not seem to be good as well.  There are so many parents holding the seat until the very last moment.  Not so fair to those with no offers.  In my my mind, all schools are commercial when doing interview. They earn so much (ie application fee and stamps).  But schools should do something to stop ppl from holding unwanted seats.

My vote goes to Victoria. I don't find the school too commercial.  我有時覺得 "commercial" 的反而是家長，過時過節見他們都會送禮給小孩或者是老師，自問從來都不會做這些事，但我不覺得老師對我們的態度有不同。我常常不明白為何一些有宗教背景／收學券的學校有任何人事關係而有偏癱的情況就不會被冠以 "commercial" 的稱譽，我的朋友中因為人事關係而入到這些學校的人反而更多！I have no experience with Raimondi so I have no input. As for RHS, their application day gave me a bad impression. I was there for PN application. However, I don't see any advantage for them to accept PN, K1 and P1 applications on the same day and caused such congestions. Taking a couple of pictures of the applicants are fine but I don't think there was a need to take so many shots from all angles on ground floor and down from upper floors. After I was seated and waiting for my turn to submit the application, the staff kept telling us the first who lined up was there since midnight.  The application numbers were up to 3000 but they didn't start the serial from 1. 這樣的安排也許值得我去考慮冠以commercial之名。

My boy currently studying in Victoria (Harbour heights campus), personally I don't think it's "too" commercial, with this school fees, basically u don't have too pay for any other misc fee or tea cost, all inclusive. Teachers are good and patient. And I agreed that kids are in general quite confident in speaking up in Chinese and English (we speak Cantonese at home, but he had no problem to speak in English as well). I appreciate the chance that they can speak multiple languages with the dual mistresses system.  I think they are also adjusting the syllabus as well to make it more comparable with other kinder (but of course not too many homework if u compare with st cat or kentville). Anyway, my boy is happy studying there and I don't need to look for supplementary class on English to him. Hope it helps.

Despite that opinion which i believe it's true, I am a bit inclined to Victoria coz:
1)The primary schools V's students went to are the ones I desire, like Kau Yan, SH, HKUSA and Raimondi.  The one with the 'commercial' opinion has her daughter go to SH.
2) My daughter attended V's playgroup and enjoyed it so much.  She is just the one for V.  she's active, confident, curious and cannot sit still.  
3) I regard language competency very important in one's education and even one's whole life.  It's so much about one's presentation ability and confidence.   It's true that their students speak fluent English even their families have Cantonese as primary language.
4) I am a full-time mom so that I have a bit more time to take care of her discipline and supplementary classes when needed.

But still I hope someone can share with me some more thoughts and point me a direction, hopefully before I pay the $9000 deposit next Monday.  Thanks!

I am also in a dilemma between an am offer from True Light and a pm offer from Victoria Belcher's campus (I opted for trilingual that's why it's pm).  Friends with kids currently studying there hold varying opinions in respect of Victoria's curriculum, students' discipline and the track record re the primary schools that the student went to.  One of my friends shares a feeling with a parent here that the V is too commercial, like a company serving its customers, that it tends to overrate students so as to please their parents.  The problem might be one cannot take a timely action to correct her child until the child goes to primary school and finds it hard to adjust to and meet the "traditional" requirements.

Don't talk about long away story. My friend got offer  this year. Victoria asked the to give $9000 deposit and will return it back when they finish  K3. Haha...At least no school does it at this moment.

高主教係我哋least priority, 因為佢唔係100%龍校, 學費又貴, 學費加車費同Victoria嘅價錢一樣!!其實我係爭紥緊RHS同Victoria, RHS課程係幾好, 今年又有spanish學但係我哋住得遠(中西區) 要個小朋友曰日搭咁耐車都好慘, 報名時見到果條長命斜都嚇親!!! Victoria(belcher's) 就好近, second in時同校長傾知道學校除咗注重英文, 普通話都好注重, 每個禮拜要睇3本圖書, k3又係番全日班, 佢哋已經不斷adjust個課程可以函接到local小學, 所以我同老公都偏向揀佢!!!
