Hi owenip,

I believe both schools have good preparation for DSS, where 宣幼 will have more emphasis on language training, and 浸幼 may be better to establish the interest of learning to attend those really creative programs.  So, you may need to ask which kind of DSS is your cup of tea and decide accordingly.

2. an interesting learning environment
3. a better Language (ENG & PTH) environment
4. a better foundation for Pirmary education

Which one is suitable for my son?  thanks for your advice.

Hi, Ian,

Sorry, 原來我混淆了......
其實將來想幫囡囡報考德望, DGS, SFA...等等(這些是叫直資嗎? 有錯請糾正, 因真的不太清楚).......我當初幫囡囡報考幼稚園時, 忽略了一條龍的幼稚園, 真的很失策.....
另外, 我地心儀ST. MARY & 新油天, 可能會考慮搬到那區等大抽獎, 若一邊等抽奬, 一邊是否可以等考以上直資學校的結果嗎?
如果是這樣部署的話, 選KV還是YORK會較好呢? 還有, 我們還等待宣幼的結果。
唉, 真沒有想到選校都是一種高深的學問!
真的謝謝你!

Any special expectations for his future 10 years in HK as you mentioned he will be sent to Australia by that time?  Would you need some non-local style study or still prefer traditional program?  

Personally I don't feel necessary to make the transition too early as I believe the kids can adjust.  Also, as parents we should help them through this process.

St. Margret's is a good kindergarten.  Any concerns on primary school path?

Hi Virginia105,

You are not mixed up, but since there are so many DSS schools so I need to make sure which kind of them are you referring to.

For SFA, definitely should choose KV since SFA has strong preferences on KV graduates.

I think KV was fine for GH too but since GH has re-open their own kindergarten now, the chances of getting into GH can be an unknown.  But I think KV is still a better choice.

For DGJS, I guess the normal suggestion would be to try CCKG for K2 (they have no K1) or St. Catherine's.  I feel York is a good alternative to St. Cat. but if you stay with KV and supplement with more English training outside then it would be even better.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply first!

We also want my son to know more chinese history, culture and can write & read. Due to daddy and me got a job in HK and second boy was coming soon. Not any special expectations for his (I think he was a citizenship for study only) future 10 years in HK. Daddy was a old boy of Raimondi. Any good introduce primary school to me for reference? (e.g St J, Wah Yan, St Paul's College etc..) Did I need to choice St J for his study?

Hi Ian,

You know so much about KG.  Can you kindly give me some comment?

I have an active daughter and I am aiming for private primary schools in 3 years time.  She has applied for many KG but only have the following offers :
KV, SC, KM - waiting.

St Nicolas (am), Munsang (pm)and Creative  primary school kindergarten (am).

Waiting for PC result but most likely rejected.

For St Nicolas, it seems that its academic level is quite good and well balanced.
For Munsang - 1/2 through train and less academic training
For CPSK - excellent language environment but less academic training

After this year's KG application, I feel that the competition is very tough to get to a good school and I do not know if my daughter can be competitive enough to get into school like SFA, GH in 3 years time.  I feel that "luck" is the most important factor.   Is MunSang Primary a good school?  Shall I go for SN and try the primary schools in 3 years time?  What do you think?

HeiJanice

Ian, i gave up KV offer and now, a bit worry... sigh...
My son got offers from St Cat/KV/Soka/StPaulChurch and is waiting for Pui Ching's result. I gave up KV already and don't know how to choose, any suggestion? actually, my perference is St Paul Church, however, I can't find nanny bus and likely, i won't find one.... so, I don't know how to choose among Soka/SC/PC... any suggestions? thanks!

Dear Ian, you're right.  thanks!!

iantsang

Do you have a preference on boys school only?  I think the list of primary schools you have listed are all quite good and can be very competitive.  Do you have any knowledge that the primary selection process is very different nowadays?  Basically you don't have the freedom to choose to apply to many schools nowadays so you need to be careful with that.

I suggest you visit this link to learn more about primary schools available:
http://chsc.edb.hkedcity.net/primary/index.php?lang=c

And the application method:
http://www.chsc.hk/primary/tc/app_method_a.htm

For the case of St. Paul's College (Boys), it is now a direct subsidized school so it can be apply directly.  Also, Raimondi is a private primary school and they have also changed to co-educational so not sure if you husband prefers his old school while they have girl students now.

Based on your preferences, I would recommend TT since it fits your descriptions better.

Hi sansan2008,

Do you mean all KV, SC and KM are in waiting list?

If the above are all waiting list and assume no further changes, then I would choose St. Nicholas out of the three you currently have offers.

Hi HeiJanice, if I remember correctly, you are my neighbour right?  I am not sure if we met eventually in the park.  Please accept my apology if I can't recognize you in-person since I do have people suddenly say hello to me from time to time.  Very sorry.

Why you worry about giving up KV?  Are you targeting SFA?  And actually I remember you prefer St. Paul's Church and I think it is a good kindergarten for boys.  Do not worry too much about the transportation now.  Often time need to wait until August to sort out the nanny bus so no ones will confirm with you now.  If you really like this school, then just stay with it and you will find nanny bus later.  I had this experience last year and really not much you can do now except find more nanny bus contacts first and they will reply you months later.

Good luck!

Ian

Hi Ian,

謝謝你的意見!
我都相信GH有自己的幼稚園, 街外生的機會減少了, GH小學每年會收多少人呢? 不知GH是否全數收回自己的幼稚園生呢?
我想請問GH, SFA, DGS每年是幾時開始報名和透過什麼途徑招生呢? 另外, 陳守仁, 蔡繼有, KTS是直資嗎? 以上幾間學校有沒有分那些是活動教學的呢?
除了以上的直資學校外, 有那些是值得報考而我又漏了? 有沒有一個LIST可以參考呢? 因為所知的都是在BK THREAD看回來, 很零碎....) THX!

Both are good schools and I believe usually people would prefer St. Rose of Lima's over Pooi To for their primary and secondary section.

However, Pooi To's primary section is private school and their ...

iantsang

If you like more training on Chinese and particularly PTH, then Pooi To will be more suitable since they have a long history of Chinese teaching.

I think both schools' students are good in manner but personally I prefer Catholic schools.  Also, I think the primary school is slightly more academic oriented at St. Rose compare to Pooi To since Pooi To first two years are activity based learning.

I think you need 20 points at least for St. Rose.

Hi Ian,
  I am new here and really appreciate all the information you have posted about HK education system. Our family will be relocating to HK from the U.S. in Spring. My daughter was admitted to Victoria (CWB) Eng/PTH stream for 2010 K1. I am now doing reserach for primary school for her.

I am looking for the following in a primary school education:
1. interactive teaching
2. fun and kids enjoy learning
3. offer English and PTH as main languages of instruction.
4. somewhat competitive to trigger the competitiveness in my daughter
5. a place for her to develop her confidence so she can easily adapt U.S. education sytle later on in life.

My daughte is kind of shy and needs time to warm up in new environments. She's very good with languages and a fast learner. not very sporty. very well behaved and follows instructions very well.

can you kindly give me some suggestions of primary schools I should look into?
Do you think Victoria is right for my daughter? My other choice was KCS (local stream) but past their deadline so have to go ask in June. (got waitlist for LH (HL campus) and TT, still waiting for result from HKPS).

we are planning to move back to the U.S. in my daughter's middle school years. I want her to build a solid fundation of Chinese(PTH) while in HK (read and write). we speak to her mostly in Cantonese and English at home, but I can speak fluent PTH so I have no problem supporting her schoolwork.

thanks for your help in advance!!

iantsang

Hi doramich,

Based on your expectations, I believe Victoria would probably provide you the suitable environment for your child.  TT would also be an option too, depends on which area in HK your family will be staying.

For primary study, those criteria you stated would probably be found in DSS type school only so you may start look for those information after you come to HK.

All the best!

Ian
