There are many choices in SPCPS' ECA, from go to scout. My boy is now in F1, SPC, during his 6 yrs in the primary school, he usually stayed late 2-3 days at school and also spending many Sat mornings for ECA.
The ECA were very good and they were either free or very good value for money. The most expensive one was sport school team but when averaging out the cost, it was only $20-40 per session. A coach of my boy is still keeping contact with the boys, whom he has coached and even buy them lunch, as he works in HKU.
The uniform ECAs are very good, and they provide leadership/fun/hardship training for the boys. Don't worry about the hardship, the worst was only standing 2 hours under the sun. The uniform ECA also provides early camping/outdoor experience.
I am still grateful that the school has provided so many good quality ECA choices in allowing the boys to explore and develop their interest and, in some cases, talent. The good performers in ECA have many opportunities to represent the school in joint school events. Those are important experiences, such as to learn about defeat, 强中自有强中手 and the sweet of success. Due to the small number of students, most of the boys can represent the school in one way or the other. It is important to take this advantage. The school has right attitude about interschool competition, for example, my boy was in the Maths team, SPC usually sent the whole team, unlike other schools, only sure-winners could have a chance to represent the school.
From my experience, parents usually pick one 文 one 武 for the boy. The ECA is also a venue to be friend with students in other grades.
Some parents may consider 2-3 ECA being too much and too busy for the boys, however, I concur with the secondary school's principal's view that busy boy is good student.
Boys shall enjoy summer ECA as well because SPCPS does not need the boys to do summer homework, I hope they will carry on this good tradition.
The school has developed a tradition since 2008 to put the JC5 boys of willing parents to a trip to poor rural area in China. A tradition does a lot of good to our kids, who know little about hard-ship and poverty.
The workload was OK then and good scheduling will help a lot. In general the boys could enjoy a happy school life and make a few good friends or rivals.
I had no experience of another primary school, but I am more than happy with SPCPS & you can read the Comprehensive Review to find out more about the changes since she has been a DSS school.
