Vote for SMC for the following reasons:

I prefer SMC because they consider parents & children feeling. Three interview for WKF is not accepted by me and finally rejected
Just has accepted by WKF and SMC is waitlist. I want to learn more details by both school! Unit to now...I don't how to do?? It's might be go to SMC to 叩門 In principle I like SMC also but ....I don't know what's the chance?
I think both school is good. The admission procedure of WKF really need improvement but to certain extend, their school mission still attracts me. We just can't only based on this to judge whether the school is good or not. SMC is also good with english languague environment but I also noted from other parents their chinese is weaker compared to other DSS school, so, '1 pin do not have 2 sharp points', we have to understand our kid well and see which is the best for them. Besides, I think we do need to take transportation time in consideration. Work hard la, all mommies ! Eventually all will get what they desire as all the kid/family are actually in the same pool and there are more than enough seats ( from DSS/Private/International ) for all the kids.

I think we are the kind. Is it your child has accepted by both school. I got the same case, I choose SMC, even I live in Shatin.
Hi Aniwong,
May I know your reason? I also live in Shatin, WKF is closed & convenience to us, but I feel SMC is better as per parents' comments & feeling during communication for interview. However daddy prefer to take a closer one.
Are you sure the Chinese standard of WKF school is better than SMC’s.

In term of 'quantity", since all subjects (except Chinese ) in SMC are taught in English, so, for sure, students expose to English comparately much more than Chinese...In term of 'quality', I really not sure but quantity sometimes do affect quality... this is not just compare with WKF but also compare to other DSS e.g. PuiKiu which as parents we need to consider, so, that's why we should select the one 'best' for our kids but not the one 'best' for other as we know our own kid the most. Just a friendly reminder, excuse me.
Most (男人)father will select the closer one. ( for convenience purpose is also correct. ). So, you can list out a table for comparison base on your child & parent's criterias.
For my major criterias are:-
1. SMC had better English environment suitable for my girl, but WKF also good English environment.
2. SMC is a happy school with teachers pay more attention on the studients since SMC is only 80~ studients in P.1. ( For my girls, she needs more support by teacher. )
3. Also, the negative (administration) comments from WKF is more then SMC if you notice all the post.
Thanks !!

I opted SMC coz my son is now studying P.1. So far, it proved the school as well as teachers concern so much on STUDENTS, especially their needs & developments (all-rounded, not only focus on acadmic).
The Eng. standard of student is so proficiency. Take an example that my son did one exercise throught "web-site" which was a newspaper clipping from SCMP. My son did it by himself!!!
Moreover, their Putonghua standard is not bad ga~
All in all, I found our decision on picking SMC for our son is GOOD CHOICE.

I have seen Chinese test paper of TSL (very similar to SMC) before, it is not so easy that what I heard from others. I don’t think SMC’s Chinese subject is much lower standard than the other schools especially those new DSS, even thought all subjects are taught by English except Chinese. Needless to say, the students who study in Pui Kiu/ Kiangsu are able to speak Putonghua well for their school background.

Hi Aniwong,
I just went for 2nd interview yesterday, Ms Lee said that the schools bus just reach Shatin. I am living in Ma On Shan & my daughter is taking care by grandma daily, it really put me on the list of criterias & concern at all.
Hi, lenmama
Is it SMC 2nd interview?
Thanks for your information.
I heard my teacher friend said that her son has made great progress in his English studies in P.1 now and very happy!
