Hi Charie,

For boy in second round, my suggestion is:  

1st - Any one of the YMT Catholic primary schools
2nd - Methodist (am/pm) or Tak Sun School
3rd - Methodist (am/pm)

Putting Tak Sun School or Methodist (am/pm) at 1st choice might have higher chance , especially the former as it is a boys' school and offer much more seats than Methodist. Tak Sun School offer 74 seats (boys) whereas Methodist offer about 30 seats (boys and girls) each for am and pm school.  However, by doing so (putting Methodist/Tak Sun school as 1st choice) you have given up both YMT Catholic primary schools because they are the favourites in net 31.

Hi Charie,

係呀佐敦道官立小學都有一定學生可以派去依利沙伯中學, 我表妹以前都係係佐敦道官立讀跟住派咗去依利沙伯中學, 宜家做咗建築師.  不過佐敦道官立環境比較差, 如果你心儀嘅中學係依利沙伯中學, 廣東道官立會好d.

當然家長係net31都係心儀top果幾間小學, 油天, st.mary, 循道.  但這幾間學校只有放第一位才有機會抽中, 放到第二位個機會就好微, 所以可以考慮放廣東道官立係第三位, 有個保障係後面.

Last year I heard there are applicants that can enter 循道 by putting her as 2nd choice.

我朋友仔仔舊年放循道係第二位就抽唔到, 我諗主要都係睇個隨機號碼夠唔夠前, 同埋睇夠唔夠運. :cry:

唔好意思！我朋友問我，知５知馬頭涌官立小學（土瓜灣）
既ＢＡＮＤＩＮＧ係幾多？可唔可幫我搵搵，仲有派位。
唔該！

naomiisaac

死啦，睇完你們的討論，覺得自己的選擇簡直是高危，因為我幫個女揀了St. Mary's，舊油天和油天做１，２，３志願．第四放了基道小學．

唔知有沒人知道基道小學的banding？

Hi catcatmom,

Sorry cannot find the the information you want. I've find out that most primary schools in net 34 do not disclose the banding and secondary school allocation of graduates.

Hi naomiisaac,

I wish your daughter good luck in getting into St. Mary's as my daughter did last year. My selections in application are more or less the same, which I think is an inappropriate strategy when I look back. Of course, if one can acquire the 1st choice school by luck or there are good backup choices, how inappropriate the subsequent choices are selected in the central allocation application does not really matters at all.

基道小學 don't disclose her banding allocation of graduates, only the below information is available:

(2005年7月畢業)
畢業生人數 102

最多學生升讀的中學
1) 校名:中華基督教會銘基書院 / 人數:9
2) 校名:聖芳濟書院 / 人數:5
3) 校名:真光女書院 / 人數:4

hi mission/G-ma,

really thanks for your help  
should i put the below schools at both 甲部 and 乙部 ?
1st - Any one of the YMT Catholic primary schools
2nd - Methodist (am/pm)
3rd - Tak Sun School/廣東道官立

is it a get more chance ?

leliawong

Dear naomiisaac,

Don't worry! I also sequenced them the same as you did. I think we rely pretty heavily on luck for the "lucky draw". Anyway, hope both our daughters are the fortunate ones!

Cheers, Lelia

Hi charie,

For 甲部排位, I suggest:
1. Your favourite school
2. -
3. -

(In my opinion, there's no point in filling other schools in 2nd and 3rd places in 甲部 because each school offer less than 10 places for 甲部 "lucky draw")

For 乙部排位

I doubt it's feasible to put Tak Sun School as third choice. On other hand, last year some kids can enter 廣東道官立 as 3rd and four choices.

I have some reservations on the government primary schools of this net, since their band 1 graduates are quite low ~ 1x%, they must be very outstanding to enter band 1 secondary colleges.

By the way, there's little problem for band 1 primary school graduates of 31 net to enter a good secondary college in the region. However, compared to 九龍城區, the band 2 secondary colleges of 油尖旺區  are very limited and not outstanding. Therefore those students studying in primary schools (without affiliated secondary colleges) in 31 net have to work really hard to enter/maintain band 1 status in their final years of primary school life.

hi mission,

as your opinion, i only could choose whether 循道 or Tak Sun in 2nd choice, right ?
If so, i would prefer 循道 as my son told me he don't want to study only boy's school.
By the way, understand it's really hard to enter band 1 secondary school but it's a social life which i can't control, right ?
thanks for your help : )

Many thanks for yr help anyway.
It is difficult for me to find any info about 馬頭涌官立小學（土瓜灣）as well. As they never disclose any info about their banding and secondary allocation (as no clear breakdown for each ) I give me my opinion to my friend that govt. school is so so as there are many immigrants from China.What do you think?

Hi charie,

Well, just take your pick base on your own preference and let fate decides . What I suggest is my personal selection strategy base on available figures and experience. I believe the chance for acquiring a first choice for favourite schools through lucky draw (乙部) is less than 10% (for 甲部 less than 5%), but you'll never know if you're the lucky one unless you've tried. Even if there is a big chance (say 50%) of getting a school seat you can still be a loser. That's life.

For the issue of band 1 secondary colleges, what I meant earlier is 油尖旺區 is no short of English teaching and Band 1 secondary colleges (even better than some other regions), but for primary school graduates with band 2 results, they may face difficulties in finding a good secondary college in the region.  Anyway, I believe parents' effort is important in helping kids in adapting to their primary school life and improving their academic and non-academic experience day after day. That's what we as parents can control.

Hi catcatmom,

I don't think it's a good idea to label government schools as just so so or inferior to subsidized schools. There are a few good government primary schools, such as  Ma Tau Chung Government Primary School (Hung Hom Bay), Bonham Road Government Primary School and Hennessy Road Government Primary School, etc. The latter have quite a number of graduates that enter Queen's college each year.
