Derek Mama,

If I remember correctly, the briefing to be held on this Saturday is organized by the Parent-Teacher Association.  I bought the ticket on registration day.
I suggest you call the school to ask if you can attend.
Their telephone no. is 2779 7654 or 2779 7449.

Hello 各位聖方濟各家長，你們好。

唔好意思打攪晒，我想請教大家如果想入讀聖方濟各要讀邊Ｄ幼稚園呢？
我老公話呢間小學比較其它小學既小朋友醒好多，紀律好，成績好，所以我都想囝囝入倒，但係知道呢間小學收生水準要求好高，要有好既底子先讀倒，所以要由幼稚園著手。
今年囝囝要考幼稚園，我淨係知道讀根德園機會大。
麻煩大家有經驗家長比Ｄ意見我，十分謝謝。

Hi, 真真,

我覺得SFA比較喜歡收根德園 & St. Catherine, 可能程度好, 你不妨考慮呢兩間幼稚園. 但sfa都一樣會收其他幼稚園學 生, 因為sfa主要係考筆試來作收生標準, 最緊要係小朋友的能力和學習程度.

唔該晒 littlecat 既回應呀，Thank You!

因為我驚我囝囝兩間都考唔入，所以想報多幾間呀，請問我仲可以報多邊幾間呢？唔該。

你囝囝９月會轉校嗎？

新丁媽媽

我個仔會入讀今P.1, 因為家有要事,不能參加今日的家長會, 想知有冇特別的資料可以update下.謝謝.

Coma

重點係家教會介紹下自己啦,
校長講下發展方向啦,介紹下每科的老師
小節上係, 知道小朋友讀那班,
同班主任傾下小節的問題
9月1日,只需著校服,不用帶書包.
基本上詳細的都會係9月1日再講的,
因為我估大約有一半家長出席.
下星期家教會都舉辦左兩個工作坊等等

是否只得SFA校車？有否其他街車更快由美孚至SFA？
我今日去買數學科本，中華書局説這批書早前已被出版社全部收回！可能SFA喜歡用舊版！我可能要去指定書局才買倒！

Hi Coma or other SFA parents,

My son is going to be P.1 next year; as I miss the Aug 22 session, can you help to see if you know :

1) Is Mandarin teaching a focus of the school?
2) Would there be any ECA for P.1 student?
3) Is the teacher generally patient and kind to kids?

I find out myself to be worried as the date of school commencement approaching...

Dove

Sorry for the typo, my son is going to be the P.1 SFA student this yr.

Coma

Hi Dove,

My son is going to P.1 this year as well, so I cannot tell you much, since I have no experience on that. ha! ha!

But in the meeting on Aug 22, one of the parents also raised your quetiion no. 1, our headmaster said, he will tell us more on Sept 1 (since that day, he always focus their english teaching and no time to tell us more about the mandarin teaching).

yes, I feel so excite for Sept 1.

Hi, Dove and other SFA parents,

I attended the briefing on 22 August and would be happy to share with you some of my observations.

The briefing started at 9:00 a.m. and finished at about 12:30 p.m.  Only two questions from the floor had been raised as the briefing was overrun.  I do think that it would be more desirable if the Q&A session could be extended for another 15 minutes.

My personal view is that the briefing has presented a promising picture to parents.  The school is kind of active and open-minded amid its old tradition.

On language, the headmaster had stressed the importance of English and the high standard of his students (more than 95% of their graduates were admitted to ESS this year).  The second question from the floor was about Mandarin teaching at SFA.  The headmaster responded that Mandarin was equally important at SFA and he would provide more information on 1 September.  My son speaks Mandarin at home with his daddy.  I think no school (except some international schools) can afford to ingore Mandarin nowadays.  I am quite sure that SFA is no exception.  

On extra-curricular activities, SFA requires every student to learn one musical instrument.  They have formed orchestra and swimming team.  Extra-curricular activities are normally conducted after school or on Saturdays.  I asked the PE teacher and she told me that swimming lessons were arranged twice every week at Kowloon Bay (after school).  

On your last question, I am afraid I can't judge it based on my observation of a short briefing.

One more point, in response to a question raised from the floor, the headmaster told parents that SFA would not consider "through-train" mode at the moment.  They would adopt a wait-and-see approach (quite sceptical of the government's policy).  Rather, they wanted to form links with several secondary schools (school names not mentioned).  The headmaster said that he would brief parents later.  I think it would be perfectly OK if SFA can be linked to some good secondary schools but am not sure if this arrangement is allowed under the current education system or not.

Parents were also told at the briefing that students at SFA performed quite closely well academically.  The one who ranked top at the grade might have slightly more than 10 marks (?) when compared with the one who ranked 100.

Hope every SFA P1 students will enjoy their school life.

How about the school bus fare from Shatin?
