I joined their open day.  Their training method is very attractive to me.  

But I heard from other parents that their student level does not high enough.  And the internal administration is very confused.

Is it the truth?  And parent's children who stugy this school, pls give advice.

Thanks!

Hi ChunYat,

小囡正在該校讀小一.  學校的教育模式的確很吸引, 小朋友上學一般都很愉快.  至於程度深淺, 因為我沒有正式跟其他學校比較過, 所以我不敢斷言.  不過肯定學校沒有讀高一級, 可能這樣也是給人感覺程度較淺之原因之一(因為一般出名的小學都讀高半級至一級).  但是學校很注重英文, 所有科目除了中文均以英語教援, 有不少外籍老師, 行雙班主任制(一位中國人老師及一位外籍老師), 小女英文明顯有很大進步.  我個人覺得他們教的英文生字都頗深, 頗多.  我試過把一些他們常識書的英文生字給一個五年級學生看(津小成績不錯的學生), 有很多字他都不認識.

但當然相對地中文科可能聖瑪加利比其他小學會較弱一點, 不過學校中文科是用普通話教, 文法及詞語運用上會比用廣東話教好.

至於學校行政, 基本上我自己覺得沒有大問題, 始終校長及老師們都有很多年辦學經驗, 通告都很清楚, 亦有互聯網可查功課.  一年當中有好幾次家長會, 老師及家長有很多溝通機會, 家長亦可e-mail老師.

Hi ChunYat,

學校每年只收80名學生, 所以競爭也是頗大的.  學校比較喜歡收一些英文較好的學生.

G-Ma,

The school said that there are 40-45 students per class.  How do the teachers handle so many students per class?  Are they teaching the main subjects (Eng, Chi and Maths) by grouping students in different levels?  If yes, how many students are there per group?

Besides, heard that students can take French as well, is it an optional class after school or within school hours?  And are there a lot of extra-cirrcular activities?  After school or within school hours?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi WYmom,

今年小一80人分三班, 每班大慨是20多人, 小班教學+雙班主任制.  中, 英, 數, 常,都會按程度分group, 每學期都會重組一次.  所以學生每科每學期都有不同的同學及老師.

學生可於小三時選修日文/法文/亞拉伯文, 上課時間是星期六早上.  此科是必修科來的.  

學校每星期都有二堂時間用來上課外活動, 有免費的亦有收費的, 看學生的選擇.  到小四後課外活動會改到星期六上, 因要留多點時間上主科堂.

G-Ma,

Thanks a lot.  But when I asked the school, the lady said that there are 2 classes per level of 40-45 per class in primary, and there are 3 classes per level in secondary.

Besides, she said that the campus is used by both primary and secondary students together.  Is there enough space for all of them?

Hi WYmom,

我知道去年他們是只是兩班, 但上堂會分三組上, 所以都算係小班教學.  不過班主任就需要一次過照顧四十位學生.  但今年小一就改左分三班, 有六位班主任(雙班主任制), 所以老師都好清楚每位小朋友既進展.

中小學係供用同一個校舍, 但上課下課, 小息午飯時間都不一樣, 亦唔會同場一齊使用場地, 所以無咩特別影響.  因為小學每級得兩班, 人數唔算好多, 比起好多其他大校嚟講, 聖瑪加利算係有好多地方比小學生用啦.

請問幾多錢一個月學費??會唔會年年加,多唔多另外收費?

cheriekkso

I consider whether to send my daughter to this school as I learn that they are very good at language (English &　Putonghua)

I also want to know how much school fee per month and how many months they charge per year?

How about the student, are they major Hong Kong kids, any other nationalities or Pakistian

Are the teachers good at teaching though they employ many native English teacher?

I'm happy to know that they teach Chinese in Putonghua.

How about the level of Secondary School, is it high percentage of entering University

I want to know more about this school, any existing parents can give me more advise, please reply to me. Thank you.

or sent to my personal email - [email protected]

YuiYui82 & cheriekkso,

學費因每年入學都有增長, 所以每級交的費用不一樣.  今年小一學費是hk$2,200.00/month, 之後每年的加幅大慨$100左右(這是根據去年數據參考).  但明年新入學的小一學費應該是hk$2,500.00/month.  只收10個月學費.  除了飯費, 車費, 其他雜費不多, 是開學時要交hk$250工作紙及簿費外, 都沒有什麼了.  

學校大慨有15-20%是外籍學生, 尼泊爾, 巴基斯坦, 印度, 台灣, 日本, 韓國, 混血兒.......等等.

hi cheriekkso,

聖瑪加利初小是主張愉快學習的, 小四後才轉回傳統, 因為要應付各個公開試.

老師都很有熱誠及愛心, 小朋友在學校是很開心的.  特別是外籍老師們都很生鬼有趣.  當然當中某些外籍老師可能會較"鬆散"一點, 他們不會特別催谷小朋友, 和香港填鴨式教育有點不同, 不過學校是有監管的, 會定時跟進教學進度及查看老師所改的習作.  

中學方面, 其實學校剛進入第四年, 尚未有自己培養出來的中六, 中七生.  現有的中六, 中七生是從前舊女校轉過來的, 他們的入大學率不適合用作參考.

去年曾往其簡介會, 之後 與其他家長 在操場 跟校長談過. 據其說 (大意是) 因為 政府之資助問題 (否則 學費會較現時 (當時) 所收為高), 要按照規條做事/招生, 但上堂會分組, 故實際上堂人數會較少.

聖瑪加利是否一年２次書簿費？一次幾多？飯盒又幾多錢？

G-Ma

日文, 法文係學費已經包括, 唔駛額外比錢.  其餘課外活動有免費亦有收費, 多數都係幾百蚊一個月, 家長可以自由選擇參加.  小一及小二既課外活動時間會係上課時間上堂.

MsTang 寫道:
請問課外活動收費大概幾多錢一堂
例如日文, 法文....   

G-Ma

書費係一次過係開學初比既, 大慨千多元.  簿費, 工作紙及雜費亦係係開學初比一次, $250.  年中就無咩費用要比.

飯盒大慨係hk$14.5/日, 一個月$200-350左右.
