I just think entering primary is not the destiny , is it good for the child if his / her ability is not really high? And turn out to be super stressful for both the parents and children. That's what I think
I rather my child to be confident with good self esteem in a less famous school rather than being bottom in elite school.

There is an old thread comparing 2 schools though few years ago

I think Victoria is more international school way of teaching so the curriculum is easier and less homework
I have friends with children studying in both schools , I think this is the major difference
For language , St cat shared NET teacher among classes for K2
And my friend said that it is a norm most Parents in St Catherine arrange many ECA and tutorial classes for their children, maybe they need to make their children competitive among those St cat graduates to enter good school
See if u are that type of parents, otherwise we will be stressful

I think it is difficult to compare
Even certain numbers of students enter DBS or DGS for St Cat, some other students may not enter great schools
Given the large number of graduate
To me, I only concern about the teaching of the school rather than the Primary admission result
Many other factors determine the admission result, maybe many st cat parents are old boys or girls of elite school , no one know

八卦一問...如果遠係一個大問題，當初又為何報St. cat?

如果港島區無人收，遠都要過九龍

I heard that around one class of P1 ( around 30) accepted to DBS this year are from St Cat

兩間升小情況如何?

In the first interview, the English teacher was not native, that's ok
In the second interview, the teacher interviewing us act just like an examiner! She just looked at her document and ask the questions one by one no matter what we said with no feedback at all. The other teacher playing with my child spoke Cantonese with strong mandarin accent , I am not sure she is putonghua teacher or Chinese teacher.

Totally agree with you. i also went interview st cat with my elder son 3 yrs ago. i did not like the teachers there as feeling they have no heart.

so for my younger son this year, i did not apply st. cat interview to him.

Hi five! I also chose Victoria.
My experience with St Cat was not good from the time we joined their Xmas playgroup and throughout the whole process of interviews.
The Xmas playgroup actually made me not want to put my child there ( maybe we were unlucky that the teachers were not good in our group). We still went for interview as we wanted to know more about the school but turned out making us more confirm that we didn't like the school. I just felt the teachers are not very caring...

Anyone gave up Victoria for St Cat or vice versa?

Me! I gave up St Cat for Vic simply becoz I live in HK. Travel everyday to Hung Hom & KlnTong is a torture to both my boy n me!

Sound every mama in this forum regards St Cat as "神校" and would take the offer if successful no matter how far away they live ...
