St. Clare's and Good Hope

Kyoto123

本來係打算最後扣門, 但我見去年12網抽到Marymount都唔少, 加上朋友話機會好大, 誠意分高D, 不過到最後可能我都唔敢博, 依家唯有希望阿女考到DGJS, 咁就セ都唔駛諗。

我都係咁話,考到DGS就咩都唔駛煩,咁你第一輪係米都係揀Marymount?

係, 所以米大抽獎都要揀Marymount, 阿女同我都鐘意 DGJS, 佢interview個日見到個 swimmng pool 同有學生穿女童軍制服就話好鐘意這間學校, 校長要佢讀英文故事書同用英文問問題(好似同其他小朋友唔同),佢話佢識讀同答, 希望佢得啦。

We like Marymount very much and if we do not put it as the first choice in the central allocation stage, it will be harder for us to "knock the door".  
Hope that your girls can be allocated to Marymount...

大家一起加油啦,如果Marymount收左記得報喜

Kyoto123,

My situation is very similar to yours, but we are not in net 12.  Thus, I plan to knock the door in Jun.  Not sure how many people are having our situation.  As the discretionary from the principal is expected to be less than before given the current economic.  People tend to stay with "FREE" schools.

想請問: gh會否把accept左offer既學生info交上教統局? 之後知道我地仲去抽官準, 會否取消gh個位, or迫我地抽定唔抽?

AliJasEd

I think every DSS will do it, because it is the guideline and policy from the Education Bureau.

以我所知,其實間間學校都會交資料上去,只係你知定唔知,私校係唔影響派位,你去參加派位時,每個小朋友有個number,電腦係隨機抽

Pui Kiu is also a good school in Shatin zone. You are better to pay for the place first.

BBR,

If you were me, would you give up Pui Kiu College and join the central allocation for Marymount?  My girl only got accepted by Pui Kiu at the moment and results from other schools are not yet re ...

Absolutely not, don't worry.
some parents has called the education bureau already.

From my own experience, St Clare is very family like.  I was watching the girls and they appear very comfortable in their small, convent environment.  The school staff are also very polite to the girls who were gathering and playing quietly at the office area and the staff just let them be.....they seemed to be very 'relaxed' in the way the girls go about, in a very sweet, home-like way.....
Staff plus the amah, school bus staff are very polite.  Though I'm afraid they might be too traditional which makes me wonder if the teachers would be too 'traditional' and not progressive enough?? (Can any current St Clare mother help tell us this?.)  
My daughter's experience of the teachers were very positive. She said they were very polite and friendly.  I just hope they are thus in their teaching.
My reservations re: St Clare are that they may not be competitive enough to prepare my girl for HKU. Another is that it is so far.
About Good Hope, I find it very old and the teachers appear very 'Chinese-oriented'.  So I wonder how is the standard of English in Good Hope.  
My impression of Good Hope is that it is a very local school.
This's just my opinion.
I have not decided yet too.  But I'm not likely to choose Good Hope.

BBR

thank you so much.
但你覺得佢地D課程深唔深,係米全英文教學?我知近兩年佢地學校換左校長後好多人都話好左好多,但中學個邊就未必咁好,所以我都驚升上中學要同佢轉返出黎,同埋佢地學校地方又真係細左D ,但GH就設備完善D,校舍大好多,好難諗
