早几日睇返本早几年既小學指南,裏面提到SH遲D會轉全日,到時津校(下午校)會取締私小(上午校)!唔知真唔真!
究竟依家情況係點?

I was hoping someone else would reply so I can keep my mouth shut on this question.

Anyway, here's the situation.  Once every 6 years this situation would arise: SHCK K3 will have total 8 classes of students (240 students) applying for P1 while SHCSPS (i.e. 私小) will only have 3 classes (around 108 seats).  Mathematically the picture is clear where direct promotion(直上) to SHCSPS would be a bit difficult to take place if most of the girls apply now looking for offers immediately.

However, SHCS (gov't aided PM section) has become a popular choice to SHCK parents in recent years so it will certainly attracts many students too.

Moreover, other students will head to some popular DSS/private schools and for those who prefer whole-day primary, many students will be allocated to schools like Marymount, St. Mary's, St. Francis', etc.

So, for other years while there are only 6 classes of K3 applying for 3 classes of P1 in SHCSPS, with approximately 155-160 girls for 108 places, direct promotion is more likely.  But for this once every 6 years situation, the handling would become more difficult.

Note: Actually once every 3 years, SHCK will have 8 classes (the coming 2011 K1 applications).  But for the other chance this happen, SHCSPS would have 4 classes for 144 students.

取締???  How can that be possible?  The campus itself belongs to the Canossian Missions so it is definitely save for the private section.

SHCS (津校) will have to become whole day at some point...... but the requirement is if they can agree with a new campus location so SHCS can move to and operate under whole day.  But it is very difficult as SHCS is one of few primary which have 5 classes a year (total 30 classrooms at least).  So, will need to keep waiting.

Sorry Ian, do u mean the 2011 k1 students will face even more serious competition for P1 coz there are 8 classes? Thanks.

The current K3 is already the one with the least chances (I won't use the word "compete" in our environment).  They have 8 classes (240 students) for 3 classes (108 seats) in P1.

For the coming K1, by the time they apply for P1, they also have 8 classes, which is the same, but there will be 4 classes (144 seats) for them in P1.  So, that's more chances.

qqbabe: 初頭我都以為大個啲去IN會穩定啲，呢樣野可係我一相情願諗咋，吾APPLY 落我個女到！佢而家兩歲８個月，呢個月情緒勁差及波動，　攪到有啲INTERVIEW 都吾敢去！而家有啲KINDER 係出年１或２月IN, 希望我個女到時情緒定番啦！

遲有遲好, 起碼唔會好似而家10/11月見有d家長一日要in3間, 而且小朋友大個d表現相對穩定d, 我隻野到時都3歲喇! 而且大家1月前都有offer喺手, 唔會太過緊張. ...

如果無得直升.. 咁都有d 危險喎... 幼稚園教既野又唔夠深... 出去揾小學未必咁理想...

Well, this is a bit tricky.  It is a matter on how you think a guarantee would mean.

If we assume every single student target ONLY the private section, then the number speaks for itself.

But as SH parent, the key lies on how much faith you have on the value system, which involve a two-way trust.

The changes on the admission process in recent years reflects the choices of some parents, which provide them the freedom to look for other primary schools which they desire (for example, the gov't aided section of Sacred Heart is a popular choice where parents can enjoy 6 years of free education).  And for those who are sincere to stay, the door is always open.

I guess I would leave it like this.

點解呢個月有情緒變化, 係未番學遇到唔開心既事? 我朋友既女女本身自理同表現一直好好, 但番n1開始就成日話唔開心, 日日喊同變得扭計, 我諗要找出問題對症下藥.

我自己覺得一間傳統名校, 可以大機會上私小, 又可以博下晝津校, 仲可以參加大抽獎, 如果佢收我個女已經好感恩. 暫時知道真係100%好似得真光同培正, 不過我記得版主講過如果k3學生係一心一意, 其實大部份都可以直升(上or下午班).

吾保證升私小, 的而且確另人非常擔心, 不過, 還要看看今年K3的學生有多少連P1PM都考吾返....如果數量太多, 真的要為K1女兒想想出路~~~女兒K1開學2個月, 我起初對聖心感覺不是太好, 學校與家長沒有渠道溝通(很多KG家長可以透過手冊跟老師溝通), 學校的通告有點混亂等....但現在才覺得這是一間實而不華的學校~~很多事情不像其他學校般, 固意做給家長看...而且我感覺到老師真的很用心對小朋友...當然很多東西我還在觀察中..不過, 我相信當初沒選擇錯誤...很開心女兒能在這間不商業, 而且用心的學校讀書...

Hi wootaitai,

Finallly someone would ask me this in public!  (Normally I need to keep replying thru PM so you are saving me!)

I totally respect and aware of a typical Paulinian and I believe many parents would love such perfect and ideal characteristics build up on their daughters.  I hope my comments wouldn't create any arguments so please accept my advance apology to the Paulinians' families if it offends you.  I truly believe it is a personal choice so my preferences don't lead to any right or wrong at all.

And this is actually why I prefer Sacred Heart personally.  As I believe my daughters should be who they are, rather than how we want them to be (the ideal model).  For me, education is to provide guidiance for children while being able to allow more diversity and building on their own characterisitcs.  So for a traditional school to allow such freedom, I personally respect this very much.  As it is much more difficult to let the students maintain such wide differences.

As I have been asked many times what type of children this kindergarten likes particularly.  I am sorry but I really don't have a clear answer.  For example there was a discussion before where some parents feel traditional kindergarten would normally prefer big Bs.  However, what I can find is there is really a well balanced of children born in different months, from big to small Bs.  You can easily split them by half if you divide them by the middle of the year.  At the same time, we have from very active kids to very quiet kids.  However, they are all very attentive in class, very willing to listen to the teachers and all find going to school a wonderful thing in their life.  The children learn how to love others and care about others.  Moral education is top priority here with excellent Catholic studies to support it, along with many other things (balanced diets, healthy living, environment protection, etc.).

At the end, as I always say, there are no perfect schools in the world (or at least I am too naive to know there is one).  There will only be ideal school for each child and each family.

Hope it helps!

Ian

iantsang  想請教其實你覺得SHCK優點在那裡 （升小因素除外）

quote from another discussion on the "model" SPK girl:


"斯文有禮，遵守規矩，但又活潑好動，多思考，勇敢面對問題，這亦是3間SPN/K的教導及工勞"

我之前跟ian說過我喜歡聖為是因為它"實而不華"，正正就是你說的4個字！這也是我想我孩子能做到的。
講番你個問題，其實你都可以寫手冊同老師溝通格！如平日冇手冊，咪寫字條比老師囉！佢地日日都睇通信袋。如急事就打電話(個佢地好忙，我都唔好意思打，但都有打過…)，如唔急就寫字仔，等佢地有時間或留意下亞B再覆你…唔使客氣架喎！(我代老師講嘅)
