聖瑪加利男女英文中小學vs香港浸會大學附屬學校王錦輝中小學vs培僑書院

mmss

請問大家知否多少人一班,是那種教學方法,我不懂怎樣選校,因小兒出年升小一,請指教排列

G-Ma

聖瑪加利大約是28人一班, 初小有雙班主任制(一位外籍老師+一位本地老師), 英文, 常識, 數學, 宗教, 音樂, 美術, 體育, 均以英文教學.  我囡囡果班英文, 常識, 數學均是由外籍老師教授.  中文用普通話. 另外有life education(類似德育堂)會用廣東話.

初小是活動教學, 默書及抄寫功課都不多. 小一沒有考試只有評估.  學校生活很開心, 英語環境很好.

多謝你回覆


請問你囡囡之前讀咩幼稚園,d小朋友本地多or外籍多呢?是否雙班主任制一位外籍老師+一位本地老師是全日一起上堂,因我怕小兒英文唔舊好,學費+雜費幾$,是否直升到中學,現時中學又幾$.

G-Ma

我在小女k2下學期時轉了她去讀國際幼稚園, 因為我跟你一樣同樣擔心她跟不上, 也怕她程度不夠考不到.  不過在我女兒班中也有由普通幼稚園升上的學生, 學校會因應他們的程度協助他們.  在開學初期, 本地老師會把一些重要事情用中文解釋一次給他們聽, 所以不用太擔心.  小朋友學語言比我們想像中要快, 加上學校是活動教學, 在愉快的環境下小朋友會較易吸收.  學期初期課程會編排得較淺, 讓小朋友先熟習英語環境.  功課量也不多, 小朋友及家長的壓力不會太大.

我今年學費是$2,200, 我知明年新入學的會加至大約$2,500.  而我們舊生的加幅據知大慨是$100左右. 除了校車費及飯費, 學校只是學期初收過hk$250簿及工作紙費用, 沒有其他雜費.

據老師說只要成績及操行不太差一般都可直升上中學.  現時中學好像是$1xxx左右, 但我都不是很清楚.

G-ma,

Why did you choose this primary school?  Have you tried others?

Hi Radiomama,

聖瑪加利係我的首選, 培僑書院其實都不錯, 不過學校距離我家太遠. 所以無揀.  本來都有報陳守仁, 但未去考試已經收到聖瑪加利通知, 所以都無去考啦, 一心一意入聖瑪加利

我選此校原因:

1, 全英環境, 有外籍老師教授.  我初時以為只有英文科是外籍老師教, 但我囡囡入了此校才知道其他主科(數學及常識)也是, 真是令我意外.  校內還有很多華人老師(有d係祝昇)英文水準都好高. 中文用普通話教.

2. 一條龍, 中學唔駛煩多次.

3. 男女校, 我自己覺得對發展小朋友的社交較平衡及全面.

4. 活動教學, 鼓勵小朋友多發言, 功課不太多, 初小沒有考試, 壓力不大.

5. 學校硬件很好, 校舍很新, 設備亦很齊全, 有校園電視台. 每間課室都有電腦, 投影機.  我見班房更設有洗手盤, 方便小朋友吃午飯不用走去洗手間洗手那麼麻煩.

6. 上學時間是8:30am, 不用小朋友太早起床(呢點亦係為自己著想, 冬天要6點幾起床係好痛苦既事)

7. 小三開始可以多學一種外語(現時有法文, 日文可選擇)

8. 小班教學, 老師可更容易觀察到小朋友既進展

9. 校長, 老師都很有熱誠, 比我感覺好好.

開學自今對學校都好滿意, 囡囡上學亦很開心, 英文及普通話亦進步了不少.

G-Ma,

Do you know if the way of teaching, class size etc. from P.3 to P.6 are same as that in P.1 to 2?  I heard that from P.3 onwards they change back to traditional teaching.  Thanks.

G-Ma

小三學校仍然是分三組(每組大約二十多人), 但會慢慢轉回較傳統教學, 因為要認付校外評核試.

小四就我所見有兩班, 大慨三十多人一班, 仍然有按程度分組上課.  

事實上到高年班轉回傳統教學都係為左學生可以跟回主流學校, 方便升中時學生更易接上中學正規課程.

WYmom

G-Ma,

Thanks.  But if it has through train secondary school, why is it still necessary to switch back to traditional teaching in upper primary?  Usually in traditional schools workload in upper primary is very heavy!

Activities approach is good and effective for junior students. One of the objective is to train their self-learning skill. For P4 onward, I believe they are ready to try something more intensive and once they are self-motivated to learn, it is no problem for school shifting to traditional style. Anyway, everybody has to face external exam.. :

Don't think that students studying under activity approach can't face external exam,  it is not logical for students to switch back to traditional approach in order to take exam.   Activity approach can stimulate more the interest of students to learn by themselves, rather than by spoon-feeding.  Through train schools normally use the same approach consistently, e.g. PLK CKY, Baptist, Pui Kiu, EC...

聽落很不錯, 我都係好近期先聽見呢間小學, 其實點解好似無咩人提及此校?
想問除了外語, 多唔多其他課外活動?

有冇人可以答到我

其實呢間學校類似邊一間學校, 會唔會係ST JOSEPH OR聖方濟各果類?

WYmom,

小朋友在初小活動教學下培養了學習興趣，自學的能力，到高小時適當地加一點壓力我覺得是可以接受的．始終學生將來也要面對不同的公開考試，亦可能有些學生會嘗試轉去其他中學，亦可能幾年後政府又轉玩法加一個升中試．所以我反而覺得學校在高小轉傳統是給學生做好準備．

至於其他學校PLK CKY是行ＩＢ的，Baptist, Pui Kiu, EC開校也沒多久，我覺得都未成定案，可能將來亦有需要於高小轉傳統也說不定．始終學校都要保持一定的公開試成績，這點是無可口非．不過我同意好難將各學校這樣去比較，我不會說聖瑪加是最好的，好學校有好多，最緊要找適合自己小朋友的．

心心，

學校到現在只開了三年多，都算是新校．每年只收８０人，相對較其他直資學校少，所以少人提及．

學校有很多課外活動，有收費亦有免費的，基本想都好齊全．

學校同ST JOSEPH OR聖方濟各是不相同類型的學校，前者兩間都是以”谷”出名，都會讀高一級．聖瑪加利是讀本級程度．讓小朋友可以較有自信情況下讀上去．
