當然宣小, 好多去DBS.....唔好勉强SJPS. 位置差, 校舍好舊

位置咁差, 校舍咁舊,要幫你講聲比校長聽你唔去2ND IN嗎?

That's true. Every year there are some unlucky Band 2 SJPS students cannot be promoted to SJC. But it happens to all subsidized feeder schools, not just SJPS.
If you view it from another angle, many SJPS Band 2 boys can be promoted to SJC. This is not too bad.

For students of those top primary schools with no feeder schools like APS and SFA, you need to be at top 30% in order to get an offer from a Band 1A secondary school. I will say this is much more difficult and stressful than to keep Band 1 ranking in SJPS.

One man's meat is another man's poison. We all know that there is no "the best school" and we should try to find "the most appropriate school" for our kids instead.
Perhaps your friend has some bad experience with SJPS. Personally, I am very happy with the school and also my son's development here.

你似乎將APS有既優點....去否定那些優點並不存在於St Joe

have u ever gone to a catholic boy school for schooling?

I didn't mean a catholic boy school is a bad thing, just that they are different.

even a catholic school and a christian school (evangelical church) are different.

聖JO仔係全港凝聚力最強的舊生會之一，我有幸參加了去年的SJC 140週年晚會，冠蓋如雲不少人都相貌堂堂，我自己不是聖JO仔都感嘆呢個身份原來令咁多人一生自豪，也為兒子有幸身為一員感到恩惠

you are right. you may have told the fact but we are talking about two diff perspective.  parents didnt want to risk bidding a sjc place by luck. they were told to fight for band one. no one knew the line divided banding groups, to allow a safety margin and taking acct of sj kids capabilities, 50-60th was the line the teachers told the parents.

my source even told me about his shivering hands when he received from the teachers a paper ball that wrapped the estimated banding of his boy. they were highly stressful to keep their boy in possibly band one albeit his boy was one of the top students.

there was a lot of talk from the forums about how unfortunate an academically better one of two band two boys was allocated to tkp while other one got into sjc.

揾一间收番甘多的band 1 龍校，去同宣小比，根本唔係完全可比。

yes, in terms of admission rate to those renown schools sj trumps.

but there are other elements that would form one s life.

yes, have to agree that boy school has such stronger bonding among boys, and the place where lifetime long mates met.

Agree.  
My son enjoys his school life whereas I am happy with the school.  My son declined to apply for other secondary schools as he insisted in promoting to SJC with his classmates. The boys have strong sense of belongings.
