我都係深水步校網,我個小朋友是女, 但對深水步校網未多識,
所以請問有邊的好(津貼)小學及中學呢?

本人很贊成 JUDY 的說法, 學校的質素是最重的.
但方間很多私校及直資, 資源充足, 升中的透明度也高, 學校的質素不會相差太遠.  故接下來學校的 NET 便較重要了. 雖然說明年 30% 是學校自選的學生. 但不竟是全港所有同 BANDING 的小朋友來競爭, 我相信小朋友的INTERVIEW表現及其它獎狀等便要很突出才有機會給學校面見. 但其余 70% 是大抽獎的，同是BANDING ONE 生 一起抽BANDING ONE 中學，當然那區較多英中選擇，或該區收男生（或女生）較多便較為有利了。

以上只是本人的意見。

ccchan,

小學我會覺得:
荔天, 聖紀文, 善導, 嘉靈都唔錯.

中學:
上智, 聖母玫瑰, 德雅.

Chaire,

按你說，讀深水埗的小學后，再按地址轉回其它 NET 是可行的。但實際上是有些地方要注要的，在自己區成績是BANDING ONE 生，在別區又很可能有不同的定位。將來到選中學的時候在校老師也不一定知道它區那一間英中是最有把握的。當然如果肯定小朋友是最最的BAND ONE頭便沒有問題了。好像說得太遠了。

以上只是本人的小小意見。

Hi mission,

can I also ask about Western & Central net vs net 40 vs net 31 for boy? which school and which net is choose?

Thanks a lot.

Hi ggiy,

Though there are quite a number of good primary schools for boy in net 11 and net 31, they have no affiliated secondary colleges. Therefore it's crucial for the students of these primary school (and their parents as well) to work hard in order to achieve and maintain academic results at band 1 status. Otherwise they cannot enter good band 1 secondary colleges.

Net 31 have many good band 1 secondary colleges (especially for boy) but have very limited band 2 colleges (in comparing to, say Kowloon City region). I'm not so familiar with net 11, but some renown primary schools such as St. Paul's college for boys have already changed to DS. In my opinion net 12 in HK Island is better than net 11 for boy.

It's several years from now for me to make my decision to choose a primary school for my son. There maybe changes in EMB policy, merging of school nets and changing of subsidized schools to private/direct subsidize etc. in coming years.

However, if press to choose now, I would choose net 40 (Ying Wa) for my son (because of through train to secondary college) and back up by DBSPD, , KTS(PS) and APS at Kowloon city region.  The latter two have 7x%-8x% band 1 graduates respectively in recent years, which is a much higher ratio than most subsidized and direct subsidized/private primary schools (for example, the two YMT Catholic primary schools only have around 5x% band 1 students, whereas Tak Sun School and PLK Camoes Tan Siu Lin Primary School only have around 3x% band 1 students).

Above is my personal opinion, but the most important thing is that the chosen school suits the kid.

Charie,

如果在2nd round 大抽獎抽到英華的故然最好. 因為是一條龍, 但如果不成功便最好選油尖旺或九龍城的小學. 因為此兩區的net 確較深水埗的 net 好很多呢! 當然只是說男孩子.
故本人很贊成 bowiema 的做法.

女孩子呢? 當然深水埗 net 最好了.


以上只是本人的意見.

For girl, 31 net is not bad if she can enter St. Mary's Canossian school which is through train to St Mary's Canossian college. My daughter is studying at SMCS P.1 now.

hi mission,

   Can I have your suggestion?  My son has 20 marks, first born and catholic.   I live in district 40.  Should I choose Yau Tin (old or new) in the first round as we have 20 marks? and choose Ying Wa for the second round?  What is the different between the 2 Yau Tin?  Is it Old Yau TIn is acaedmically stronger and more traditional?  Which one is better?
Thanks a lot!

Hi sixcats,

Whether you choose YMT catholic primary school in 1st round depends on whether you prefer YMT catholic primary school to other schools (such as Ying Wa). 20 marks is a "minimum charge" for most favourite schools and with this mark it depends on luck (need to draw) as well.

I have asked the same question (which Yau Tin is better?) before in this forum too.  Academically speaking, I don't think the two YMT catholic primary schools differs much.  Their band1/band2/band3 ratios of graduates are more or less the same ~5x%/3x%/1x%. However the new Yau Tin have better school complex and facilities for sure.

hi home88 and mission,

do you have any good primary school in net 31 and 40 (other than ying wa and Yau Tin) for our reference ?

彥彥媽咪

比我, 我會選 net 31 (油尖旺) rather than net 40  (深水步) especially for boy ..

先唔評論學校質素, 而以機會率去睇....net 40 d 小學依家出現"實力懸殊"嘅局面......因為成個 net 40 名氣最大就係英華小學.....九成男生家長想用 net 40 都係想搏佢, 貪佢一條龍....但亦因為咁...怕且成個 net 40 d 男生家長 (冇十成都有九成) 都會揀英華做 1st choice, 咁要抽到嘅機會真係      .....反而 net 31 較平均, 有好幾間都不相怕仲...so 反而唔會個個只爭一間....咁 chance 面會大d.....   

charie

hi 彥彥媽咪,

can you advise some good primary school (except Yau Tin) in net 31 for our reference as we don't know other school details ?

Hi clarie,

If you mean subsidized schools for boy, I can think of:

For net 31,
循道學校 (直屬中學：循道中學)  
德信學校 (精英班: better chance than 油天 to enter 九龍華仁 )

For net 40, 旅港開平商會學校 & 荔枝角天主教小學
*Though their banding ratio is not bad, the percentage of graduates entering english secondary colleges is not high, only around 50%.

hi mission,

are 循道學校 and 德信學校 in band one school ?

循道學校 did not disclose the banding of their primary school graduates in the past.

For 德信學校
派位成績組別百分比 (2005年7月畢業)  
畢業生人數 177

Band 1:31%
Band 2:37%
Band 3:32%   

最多學生升讀的中學
1) 校名:德信中學(直資) / 人數:54
2) 校名:華仁書院(九龍) / 人數:28
3) 校名:聖芳濟書院 / 人數:17
(ming pao)

Hope this can help.

Hi charie,

All I can say is 德信學校 is not bad if your kid can enter their 精英班 (not easy to get in). 德信學校 have more graduates entered 九龍華仁 last year than both YMT Catholic primary schools. However, one should also note that the band 1 graduates ratio of 德信學校 is quite low (3x%)whereas their band 3 graduates ratio is quite high (3x%), in comparing to the two YMT Catholic primary schools. According to specialist, subsidized schools with a ratio of over 50% band 1 students is considered as quite good overall speaking.

With the cancellation of secondary college seats in Wan Chai for net 31 primary school graduates by EMB this year, the competition for  九龍華仁 (I believe the "dream" secondary college for most parents with their sons studying in the region now) seats will be much higher than before.   

You can read my message before (to ggiy) on my comment regarding net 31 and 40. If you have no intention to provide backup (private/DSS) for yr kid, I suggest you choose 31 net instead for the reasons some BK moms have already mentioned. Because if 1st choice of Ying Wa primary school is missed, there seems to be no closer second (of similar standing) in net 40 in my opinion.

If you finally decided to choose net 31 instead of net 40, it's not wise to put  循道 at 3rd place because their seats are limited. For boy, most parents in the net will choose either one of YMT Catholic primary schools as 1st choice, therefore higher chance to get a seat of Tak Sun school as 1st choice because of its all-male nature (more seats a/v than coed schools). Furthermore, out of the 3 primary schools that you mentioned, I heard it's comparatively easier to enter 德信學校 in the 3rd round (knock the door stage) in recent years.

Goodnight
  

charie

many thanks for your opinion and it's really help me a lot. I think i will keep the net 31 according to your information. But i'm still wondering i should choose new YMT Catholic primary school as 1st choise and 德信學校 as 2nd choice or exchange it ??? so trouble.... : (

今年第一輪計分派位後,星島登出了全港津小收生情況,新油天必收生(有25分)學生多佔了統一派位成20個位(約60個位供統一派位),可見油天的必收生數量很多,而英華小學只多佔了4個統一派位學額(約76個位供統一派位),相對來說可供派位的學額比油天多!
而40網要是全部男仔都選英華,都只限單一性別(50%),而油天是仔女都可以選(多/少於50%?),雖然說不是全部都選油天,但人數不會少英華很多,所以我認為還是多了解英華和油天,選擇一所適合你仔仔的學校!
如果你選德信第一志願,基本上一定得,但德信是半日學校,一年級返下午,二年級返上午,....,而且聽說是好多功課的.

Charie,
提一提, 油天是接受扣門的, 故即使大抽獎沒有選,還是有機會的.但 Ying Wa 便沒有了. 當然最重要是你認為此校是否適合你的小朋友.
