St.Paul Boy Vs 高主教

sanhk4

兩間都收, 邊間好? St. Paul Boy好, 還是高主教好?

Hi,

Same as my son.  Most probably I will choose St. Paul Boys.  St. Paul Boys 中學 just announced that they won't join 政府中一統一派位 i.e. most of their own primary school boys can directly enter into their secondary school if boys meet their standard. So I don't need to play this game after six years.  

However, Raimondi is also one of the good schools under my consideration.

Just sharing my own view.

I think by the time your kid is promoted to secondary schooling, there's very high chance that Raimondi will turn DSS / private. Both the PTA of primary and secondary section are working closely and primary students are taking part in functions of secondary school as well. Currently 85% of secondary students come from primary and the rep of PTA told us at the interview that they are working to take in as many primary students as possible in future. You may also consider the fact that the sports results at inter-school competition of Raimondi secondary is higher than that of St Paul Boy's and that Raimondi is now a co-edu which gives better environment  in social development than a pure boys school. PS DBS is also thinking of admitting girls in future and I think this is an irreversible trend.

Can somebody tell us more?

In compare with:-

1.   English - which one is better?
2.   Putongha - I know RC starts from P1.
3.   Maths - RCs is in Cantonese and partially in English?
4.   General Studies - Putongha or English or Cantonese?
5.   Location - St. Paul boys will be in Cyber Port.

Any comments?  How do you choose?  Or people still think St. Paul boys is higher or better than RC?

Thanks

My personal idea I will choose St Paul. Compare with the unoffical ranking of secondary school. St Paul is much higher than RC. (You can search the ranking in internet.)

Can somebody tell more about St. Paul boys?  When do they start to using Putongha to teach Chinese?  Do they use English to teach Maths and General Studies?
Which schools English is stronger?
Thanks

St. Paul boys no doubt

childrenfirst

I will choose St Paul Boy too but I found the "unofficial secondary schools ranking list" is completely a joke! It is not evidence based and it's funny that some of the band 3 schools are even ranked higher than some band 1 schools..

My boy is SPC student.

From P1-P3, PTH is a separate subject.  Chinese Lang is taught in Cantonese, but the school will enhance PTH standard during these 3 years to prepare students using PTH in Chinese subject.

From P4 onwards, there will be no PTH subject.  Instead, Chinese Lang will be taught in PTH, students must communicate with Chinese teachers in PTH (no matter in class or outside class).

Maths is taught in Chinese from P1-P6.

For General Studies, in P1, it will be 75% in Chinese and 25% in English.  As students be promoted to higher class, the portion of using English textbook is increased.  My boy is now P5, 75% GS is taught in English.

Re: English standard.  I don't know the standard in Raimondi.  But I can comment on SPC that English is getting more and more difficult in the recent years.  Those taught in daily lessons and those appear in exam are two different matters!

Teresa,

If the English taught in daily lesson is different from the one appeared in examination papers, how can the students pass the examination

Would like to know yr grounds that St Pau boys better. I think at the 小一選校 column, St paul College (secondary) is rated as Band 1-low; RC as Band 1-mid. while we are talking of primary school comparisons, the ranking of secondary school definitely has significant bearing. moreover, the inter-school sports performance of RC in 2008/2009 are way better than St paul Boys

Do you mean this column ?

I tend to believe in this analysis coz I heard over the dropping of SPC's academic in recent years from various sources, such as tutorial centres in Central and someone who has chance to meet students of different secondary schools.

Hi Waiwaibaba

Do we have some official information for RC is Band 1 - mid and SPC is Band 1 - low?

How do we judge this?

Thanks

Hi, may I ask where can I find the information of inter-school sport result? I only knew DB is near the best sport performance school in HK.

aa120520, you can browse their web site.  

Funny is that ppl nowadays still compare school with "bands"  I have said several times that only students are divided into bands not school.

agree that years before SPC became DSS, the quality of students drop due to several reasons. But after DSS, the result improved a lot, at least you can browse its web site to know the recent award to their students.  I don't know Ramondi, so I can't comment on them.

But one thing I need to say, there are so many different awards outside that students can participate into.  don't blind fold to compare with other school.

second, if you are using tutorial class standard to compare, sorry, that is not accurated.

I will say choose the school you are comfortable with.  do not compare.  There is always strength and weakness in different schools.
