No free swimming lesson is offered to GH primary girls. A girl can never swim at GH swimming pool unless she attends the paid swimming class organised by outside swim org (e.g. Stanford). It is no difference to outsiders!

GH is not offering all round development!

• Every girl is allowed to join one or none after-school ECA activity.
• Most of GH girls have never joined any sport teams or music orchestras in GH.
• Participation to speech competitions and music competitions are not encouraged. Most of the applications to speech fest are rejected and school refuses to sign on the app. form.
• Education tour? Sorry, none.
• Math competition? sorry, not encouraged. You have to apply to the organizers by yourself.
• Drama? Ballet? IT? Swimming? forget them.
• Anyway, English is excellent. General academic is good.

睇完你既POST, 你囡囡是在GH入面讀的嗎? GH 好似好封閉自己甘, 是真的嗎?

I chose SFA instead of GH few yrs ago and my friend chose GH instead of SFA. GH has secondary while SFA not but the school fee is very expensive in SS. I chose SFA becoz the std is high and the school fee is reasonable, also I don't want my girl study in girl school for both primary and secondary. Both school are high edu std. The comment from my friend is she would choose SFA if she could have chance to choose again.

其實只要登入GH website, 就看到音樂節的下載表格, 而且還有其他聯校活動, 真的如此封閉嗎? 還是吃不到的葡萄是酸的, 或惡意中傷? 家長要小心判斷. 只是路過, 不喜勿插!

你叫人[不喜勿插], 但你卻先插人! 不過我唔會介意.

一間學校是否鼓勵學生參加音樂節, 不單看有冇下載表格吧? 是否著緊, 鼓勵和各樣配套更重要.
至於speech fest, 每年很多GH girls 都被rejected參加, 你可以自己去查證.

My daughter is now studying in GHS(KG) and selected to attend the 63rd Speech Festival.  Even the training is organized in Sat and needed to pay for engaging external teacher, I think the school is willing to let students attend this kind of competition to build up self confidence and gain experience/exposure.   In past Feb, school choir of GHS(KG) is also participating in School Music Festival.  The secondary music teacher from GHS(Secondary) helped to teach the kindergarten students with free of charge.

For GHS(PS), I knew that my friend's daughter is also selected to attend the 63rd Speech Festival.

SFA 的 ECA 應有盡有, 大多沒有限制限量, 只要唔撞時間便可以. 資優生更有gifted classes.
當然, 家長唔敢玩太多.

but there is no secondary support for the sfa. some of the student go to ghs.

You are correct.

The key word is "selected". Most of the girls are not selected.  
But in many schools, e.g. SFA, all students no matter good or not, are allowed to participate in speech fest competitions without limit.

我呀女同好多同學都有參加朗誦節喎，同埋點解可以rejected?

It is true. 但sfa 升中學位都唔差, 有家長甚至認為更好.

事實上, 兩間都是熱門好學校.

You are right, 不過, 冇被selected的人數, 比有參加人數更多, 你問下你個女便知.
測試水準較差便被rejected, 好似話係怕影響個人信心, 你問下老師便知.

Is it normal practice for most of schools, right?  My friend's son is studying in Pui Ching Primary School and the teachers only select a small portion of students to attend this kind of competitions.

Yes, some schools allow all students to attend speech fest if they wish while some do not. I don't have the statistics.

But as this is almost no cost to a school to put its chop on the form, it is puzzled why schools reject applications. Maybe the main reason that the school rejects applications is for the fame of school.

Anyway, don't take my words too serious.

Although GH is not minded to offer all round development (maybe the school want the girls concentrating on the academic), it's no harm. Almost all parents arrange various ECAs for the girls outside.

It doesn't dampen the popularity and academic performance of GH Primary.

Relax.
