thanks. Would you please share with me why you could choose HKUGAPs? I know it focuses on activities and projects but I am afraid my daughter may have difficulties in applying other secondary schools if she couldnt' get in the secondary school. Please help!

I will choose HKUGA.  Most of the primary students can go to their secondary schools.  So you don't have to worry.  I've heard many good comments about the school from existing parents.  One of them even gave up net 41 and move to island east to apply the school.

St.Margarets co-ed Eng 都係百份之一百直升上中學.

問題幾間學校既location都唔同, 我覺得就近入學會合理d.

I have the offers from HKUGA and TSL, would you comment which you will choose ?

avbee

HKUGA ...but the secondary school is far away ....it is located beside st paul co-ed primary.

I heard HKUGA's academic is not strong compared to other traditional schools, so if a kid needs to apply other secondary school in P6, then he/she may have some difficulties.

Hi G-ma,

If I don't mind move to a place which is close the primary school), just by ranking these 4 schools' qualities, which one would you recommend?

I prefer new style of teaching and focus on languages.

I have no idea which is the best school but would only share I have heard from others parents and thoughts.

For 港大同學會, What I heard from the parents is this is a very good school.  One mummy whose one child is in one of the very very famous local school and one child is in 港大同學會.  She personally does not feel the academic is lower.  She told me from the story level, they are of the same level - they share the same books and she thinks in knowledgewise and ability to understandwise they are of the same level.  As for academic, it all depends how the child will react, say for example project like "weather", it could come out as a very simple topic or one can drill into difficult one like talking about the weather change, the environment that has an effect on the weather and etc.  As doing project, others will question his child so this give him an opportunity to answer things in a more all rounded way .

But I am not too keen in a English as a medium of instruction in primary as I want my kids to have an opp to learn more Chines.

我仔仔係HKUGA讀緊小一, 其實我相信HKUGA及SMC各有各好的地方。我很喜歡HKUGA的學習環境, 仔仔短短3個多月, 英文及普通話都有很大的進步, 很願意講又不怕錯, 我喜歡中文小學是因為我覺得小朋友用中文學習數學及常識等比較容易吸收的。學校亦都有不少英文的題材活動增加學生的學習興趣。

另外好多人成日問讀完HKUGA可否讀返傳統中學, 我個人意見係小朋友讀了活動教學的小學點解又要轉返出去讀傳統中學呢? 家長倒不如小學已比小朋友讀傳統小學吧! 不過港同每年都有學生不升中學部去考更出名的傳統中學(津校不用學費), 所以我相信港同的學生係有能力升返傳統中學的, 只是家長怎樣的決定。

SMC我聽過都有好好的意見, 所以希望家長明白沒有完美的小學, 亦希望家長早日放返學位出來比waiting list 緊的學生吧! 早日作出決定, 大家開心。

mgwong,
What is u final choice?
I think SMC will be better because the quality of students become better.

mgwong

Hi bblaw,

To me - 99% will choose SMC.(but it really to far
How about U?

G-Ma

我係SMC既家長, 我都認同HKUGA及SMC都係好學校, 我揀SMC係因為我住係九龍, 如果我住係香港我就一定會揀HKUGA.

我自己都鍾意新思維既教學方法, 希望唔好咁多抄寫, 死記.  SMC除咗中文係用普通話教, 德育課用廣東話教之外, 其他科目包括音樂, 美勞, 體育, 早會, 周會, 運動會都全部係用英語, 學校有20%係外籍學生, 所以英語環境真係好好. 至於中文方面學校都特別加強訓練, 等學生水平可追貼外面既學校.  而且SMC仲可以多學一種外語, 又有自己既中學, 整體而言係一間不錯既學校.

請問係咪主要是印巴籍學生呢?

catcatmom

各國都有, 不只是印巴藉, 同事今年囝囝註冊了SMC, 佢係星加坡藉,本身說普通話&英文.
