St Paul's College Primary School - 英文小學??

concern_mom

睇咗咁多寶貴意見，都仲未有人可以分享St. Paul究竟邊方面比較強?!
除咗係名校吸引大家外! 但係點解係名校呢?
有無實際D嘅意見分享?

聽補習社講，英文書同華仁一樣，不過都係聽講。

英文科:

General English: "My Pals are Here"
Reader: Wide Range Reader/Starter

本reader其實有好多series, 但係越用越深.  舊年三年級同今年三年級本wide range都唔同左喇.

BTW, 間學校係咪岩你同你個仔, 只有你至知. 如果你自己唔可以convince到你自己認為佢係好學校 (or 值得個個月比3k學費), 咁倒不如唔好考慮spc.  

每個家長對學校都有唔同expectation.  你認為係淺, 我未必同你有同一睇法.  除左academic, 你都要考慮個人/家庭因素.  好似我咁, 我住學校附近, 返學放學唔洗搭車, 去學校參加家長活動又容易, lunch我又有人送lunch box, 而我又覺得佢地有中學connection而比到我"安全感", 程度唔算低, 學生唔係死讀書.... 加加埋埋, 我convince到自己認為呢間係適合比我個仔讀既學校.

間間學校都有好有唔好, 如果你對"心儀"既學校都要樣樣得到黑白分明既答案, 你只會令你增加煩惱, 因為你點諗都唔會有一個好實在而又完美既答案.

......英文書同華仁一樣....有咩問題?! 華仁小學的英文不好嗎? 不是吧!!
我認識ST PAUL BOYS'的畢業生, 他除了成績好,更在音樂同品格方面很好很出眾,如果我個仔入到, 我真會lue飯應!
當然,華仁及St Jo都係一流的!! The only concern/difference is just the school fee!

它不是英文小學, 教育局出的"小學概覽"列明它的教學語言是中文.
無理由唔了解清楚便報讀.

又話係英文小學, 點解聽我個仔講乜嘢都係用廣東話教?

雖然St Joseph & 華仁係傳統小學，但係人半日制，返到屋企仲有大把時間做功課兼去參加其他課外活動好似游水、乒乓波、tennis等等。St Paul 就全日制，但放學都一樣要做功課喎。咁課外活動根本就好難再係平時安排，長期落去真係會變書虫喎！:tongue: :tongue:


真係令人擔心！各位有什高見呢？: : :

concern_mom

轉堂時間都做埋功課，咁細個小朋友連玩時間都無，好慘呀!

如果係轉堂時間將D功課做哂，相信真係叫做「做哂」囉，但質數就 . . .可能做得好求其喎。寫中文字就一定無可能啦~!

after reading all the message, I really don't know what is her "concern"

if you find $3000 is too expensive, you definitely can have many "free" choice in the market. (actually, I don't know how much you paid for his kingergarten for previous 3 yrs)

if you find english stuff is too simple, you can teach your son P.6 english book or even shakespeare novel at home.(have you spent time to prepare homework with your son?)

if you find "half system" is best suit to your son, just go for it. Let your son have more leisure time.

if you don't like the school, you can change to another school you like most (provided that the school offers a seat to your son)

from my point of view, in addition to provide general education, school is also an environment for the kids to develop their character/personality  thur peer-to-peer interaction, which you can't make it at home. for any other tailored requirements, you need to arrange by yourself.

in fact, i do spend some time to prepare homework with my son, who is studying P1 in SPC. frankly speaking,  i find that eng. is really not that easy, composition, comprehension exercise and listening comprehension (by i-learning materials) are really out of a P1 student can handle it.

if "concern" your son can handle it without any difficulties, Congratulation then!

Dear Concern＿mom

進入名校的遊戲規則，就是儘管學校的課程是深是淺，是中文學校又或是英文學校，他們的學生普遍成績都是很優秀的。為何？因為家長一定會「睇」得好緊。學生優秀與否，主要原因是學生及家長的努力，學校祇是個環境。入到好學校，並不等於教到好學生，一定是學生及家庭的影響，才能孕育出優秀人才，這就是名校。

陳奕希的成功都是因為自己的才華，加上家庭的鬆懈，他才可拆爛晒電掣，而令到他的才華得以發展。

名校－就是質素的保証（起碼保証到大多數學生啦）。

你有冇覺得i-learner篇文, 個foreigner讀得好核突? (超慢speed, 高8度既tone, 好造作....).  我聽到毛管楝... 連我個仔都話學校個nat teacher都唔係咁講英文....

我想向i-learner反映, 不過唔知點搵佢地!?

我有朋友在超級名校教PTH, 她們低小也只用Cantonese 教中文, PTH是獨立科, 那些PTH老師還是土生土長的. 另一些在ESF的IS教PTH, 也是100% Hongkie, 而我工作的IS, PTH teachers are also Hongkie.
SPC 的PTH如何普通?
老師的生長地嗎?

我buy用中文教數, 因學數是講concept & logic, 中文一定易明d.
至於英文你說淺, 如果學校教高一級又會否覺吃力而投訴無時間溫習?
「漸進式」有何不好?
根基不好那有學習興趣呢?
正如其他朋友說, 孩子英文程度高低父母也要付出.

SPC 對培育學生的世界觀你又看不看倒呢?
她有類似 world classroom 的outings給中、小學生參與, 這些寶貴的生活體驗, 不是間間學校可提供的.
還有校園小記者.
至於學術&運動成績, 你如真的是SPC家長, 應比我更清楚罷.
(講講下發覺由這個非SPC家長講這些都幾攪野.)

名校最值錢的地方是有good peer-influence environment, 正如BillyBug說的品格培養.

最後, 名校這稱謂不是一朝一夕得來的, 是用時間來沉澱的, 是一班努力不懈的學生打做出來的.
如我孩子入了SPC但自己不努力, 我反覺得負了學校的名聲.

Hui Tung,

你講既Good peer influence真係講得岩, 亦係我比個仔入左spc之後始料未及既"收穫".

上次開家長會, 個個家長都好concern自己個仔o係班上既表現, 都係問老師"我個仔專唔專心?" "如果我唔理佢, 佢成日欠, 你地係咪真係唔介意架?" "老師, 你對佢地嚴d就得架喇, 我個仔成日都乜乜乜架...."

個個都好緊張個仔返學既表現, 亦都明白唔可以樣樣野幫佢做哂.  家長好齊心, 真係冇諗過.

而同學仔, 大家爸媽傾開, 都話自己個仔成日搵d叻同學去follow, "我下次要學xxx一樣!" "我就黎同xxx一樣有咁高分喇."  但係佢地又真係一種良性競爭.  以我個仔o個班, 最叻仔o個個又真係冇架子, 佢父母又係好平易近人.  真係難得!

我唔知第二d小學有冇呢d咁好既peer group influence, 不過o係spc, 又真係有.

HuiTung,
Is your son study at St Paul Boys ?

Tatama123,
