我個仔依家讀緊優才中學G9(F.3), 我識得有位家長佢個女(即我個仔個同學)，佢小一同二係讀培道小學，後來果位家長覺得培道d課程太淺，於是小三時比佢個女插班入優才，之後一路讀到依家。

hi dabbycheung,
多謝你的回應, 我以為培道會較優才略深, 因為聽聞教科書都幾多本. 我係bk睇到有家長話優才功課少,好快做完, 咁學術能力係咪應該相對地底d呢? 不過主要係憂慮優才中校網唔理想, 將來好似少咗好多選擇(如果唔直升優才中學的話).
正好你係中學家長, 呢3年以來的評價係點呀? 可以pm給我嗎? 謝謝你~

GT's maths and English are one semester faster than other schools.

Chinese may be easier than some famous traditional schools, as they have less exercise and homework to do (for example compose sentence).

For English, they emphasis more on oral and listen in lower grades, they have more time with the NET teachers compared with other local primary schools. Not much composition or writing in lower grades. They provide you story books that you can do online exercise/ book report.

Maths is the subject that I am sure it's more difficult than other schools.

The kids got very high marks in the exam. Less homework doesn't mean they are easy, the school assumes the kids can pick it up without difficulty. It's true that with lesser workload, the kids can spend more time in their extra curricular activities.

This year, there is about 1/4 of P6 students enroll other secondary schools. Some go to traditional schools (free of charge), and a number of them go to famous secondary schools (e.g. SPSS and DBS). Many Band 1 primary schools students nowsadays tend to enroll famous / good secondary schools by entrance exam, it's also recommended by school principals, esp. South HK Island

Just share a story of a F.1 student who graduated from GT last year.  I know a past student of GT who promoted to a famous Brand 1 school (traditional one) as F.1 student.  He found adjustment problem at the secondary school because the teaching style and requirement of GT are totally different from the "outside world".  He found the lessons were boring and felt disgusting to the school rules like raise up your hands before you anwser the teachers' questions in the lesson.  He used to enjoy freedom and totally respect by the teachers in the past years at GT.

His parents shared that most of the top students in GT primary may not choose to promote to GT secondary.  Besides, they wanted their son to explose to another world where he may face with daily when he grow up.  Therefore, they arranged him to attend a famous but traditional school.  

Finally, the boy suffered from mood problems and became less motivated in the early begainning of the school year due to the maladjustment in a new school.   Fortunately, he improved and adjusted the school environment and do his homework assignments. to a large extent.  However, he studied there with indignation and still thought about his past in GT.

GT's English curriculum used to be one semester ahead of other local school but this is changed.

GT's kids learn English so fast that in 2005 GT switched to use English text book from UK instead of local publisher.

That means GT's English curriculum is about 1 to 2 years ahead of local schools now.

好多謝各位家長給我咁有用資料同意見, 我真係好想囝囝可以開心讀書之餘又能達至一定程度的成績. 大量的功課測驗默書,真係會令一d小朋友無哂所有玩的時間, 強烈催迫更會令小朋友失去學習興趣. 我見朋友將兒子迫得名列前茅,最後成功入到band1英中,但聽佢講兒子的日常生活,都好'鄧'佢可憐....(佢從來未去過冒險樂園玩)
而bk上優才的評價一直很好又好似好完美, 之但係以前優中未有之前,學校是在九龍塘區,考入band1英中的機會自然大好多又多選擇,而現在優才小學高年級要轉到中校網較遜的將軍澳,成果不知又如何呢? 因為照我所知,考英中面試,相比同區學生來說,垮區學生會被作較次選擇, 尤其係垮入名校區, 即係成績要非常top先會考慮.
其實我個人比較喜歡優才,不過也是因為中校網關係,所以考慮教學較相近的培道,但好似唔容易找到更多詳細資料.

優才同培道係完全唔同教學程度的。我大姑奶個仔係優才讀六年級,順利升上原校讀中一。事實係有同學升不到中一的, 但基本上中英數合格, 不太差都可以原校升讀, 不要太擔心。當然跟不上學校都不鼓勵原校升上, 可能要讀其他中學。但亦有些最top的,不選擇原校升讀, 反而去考其他區的bank 1 中學都會考到的。

培道
中文唔差全國語上堂
小班教學
一至三年班唔太谷D小朋友(五/六樣功課),四年班發功ga la!因私校派得唔好無人讀ga la!我見前一兩年派英中around 50%。
培道中學聯校,仲興建中,上年校長話起好會收男生。
可以留校做功課到5:45pm,有老師睇住。但沒有校車坐,要自己接。如果無人睇做功課好過去補習社(不另收費)。亦可留到4:30pm跟幼稚園校車走。
我有朋友仔仔係讀P2,老師不錯會幫成續唔好ge同學。
我見學生都幾乖,德育幾好。
升中綱好

唔好就有
校細,硬件無咁好
英文可能差DD,對比其它私小
傳統老校比較保守,有人嚴唔夠創意,課外活動悶。

優才.................我唔熟。

個人覺得如果你既目標係諗住中學入傳統名校, 我諗優才不是你杯茶, 撇開校網, 優才的教學理念與傳統名校極之不同, 不是活動不活動既問題, 簡單而言正如優才校長講, 叻既孩子是非常懂得答問題, 資優孩子非常喜愛問問題,

如果可以從小學直升中學,當然好唔駛煩咁多.但優才中學還新未有畢業生成績數據作參考; 萬一囝囝不能直升的話路怎樣行...其實有人說我言之過早太早憂慮(數年後可能制度巳改了不知多少遍), 但我總也想考慮一下後路問題, 讀得有安全感的.

wensi,
好多謝你的資料!更將正負點都列出埋,謝謝! 我都有聽聞過培道中學或會收男生,如果落實咁培道都可以算係'進可攻,退可守'.而學生德育方面一直有好評,老師都好有愛心.應該都係一間好學校.

所以呢兩間真係各有優點,真係唔知點決定好....
優才 - (正) 校舍大硬件好, 有自己中學, 程度似乎相對略高;
           (負) 直升的話中學太新無畢業生成績數據, 轉出或不能直升
                  的話中校網略遜.
培道 - (正) 優秀德育, 中校網好, 有自己中學(如真的收男生的話)
           (負) 校舍較細和舊, 較保守,創意或不足,程度聽聞是普通一般;

小學升中學，有兩個方法：

1)第一輪，以個人實力去考各區中學。

2)第二輪政府派位，學生除左可以按自己間小學，嚟抽該區中學之外。學生亦可以按自己既屋企地址，嚟抽其他地區既中學。而優才學生以後者居多。

Actually, you may consider what you want from the school?
In GT, certainly there're joy & excellence, the students are happy & their academic ability is high. If you adopt & agree GT's value & teaching style, then why not let the child study in GT from G1-12? If you wonder if he can't meet the critieria in promoting to GT Sec. sector , then it can also happen if he studies in a traditional primary school that he fails to enter a band 1 EMI Sec. school.
For the academic level of GT Sec. sector, the students have achieved good results in different open exams recently. They're green but they have shown their abilities without much drilling & overwhelming homework. (I know since my kids are studying in GT)

rexlouise,
Regarding the interview, for the parents' part, they would ask mostly what activities your child does during the leisure time & how the parent's attitude on these activities, how much time of parent-child activities (both quality & quantity), and see if the parents adopt  & understand GT value & teaching style. GT emphasis on " joy & excellence"  & value on intimate parenting. Personally, I take interview as a choice for both parent & school to understand each other, to seek a right school for both parent & child.

我去過優才(將)open day, 安排很好. 佢地功課放左係門口, 我每科都睇過程度都係高+! 比較我大仔果間小學(私小係九龍塘.), worksheet 出得好有心思,印刷精美. 優才係我睇甘多間DSS之中, 各方面最平均地好的一間直資, 校長,老師,程度,課外活動,都很好. 但因細b中文好差, 所以最後無考慮度佢!

好多謝各位家長的資料及意見!
原來可以用住址申請中學的嗎? 等我再詳細了解下先.
其實有數間私小收了囝囝, 不過相對較谷功課. 優才及培道較為合心意, 優才更是越了解越喜歡, 也似乎好合適小兒.

Hi, Imouto,

唔知你覺得"優才"有乜好, 可以分享一下嗎？？
