St.Paul Catholic VS Hon Wah

C.C.Lam

Hi coffee,

我個女都係唔肯走ah, 我都唔知點。如果真係大d會好d, 我都想唔走住。因St. Paul Cat 的校風真係好好.

How are you?
Why you want to change another school, I also feel St. Paul Cat 的校風真係好好,

chanhao

sidetrack a bit. The percentage will no longer 85%. Instead, it will become 75% (111/148) beginning from next year.

Hi C.C.Lam,
你好! 當初報St. Paul Cat 都是認為校風純樸, 無mug 功課. 但是原來係目標為本. 每個星期都要test, 對我來說似乎很吃力, 星期六又要參加各類興趣班, 好像沒有時間溫書。因聽說漢華是雙語教學, 本想轉入去, 但女兒不喜歡轉校, 她現在又很喜歡返學, 所以都是要留底, 無得揀。但都登她辛苦。無奈她又鐘意, 都係繼續留底lor.我個女今年D班ah.係呢! 你個女有無補習ah?

想問如幼稚園是活動教學, 上st. paul catholic 會否很吃力?

Hi chanhao,
話需%少了些,平均成績於每班叻叻地(考到二十幾名),都大機會上到St. Paul Sec(英中), 反觀其他學校(如冇直屬中學),我估計要精英班or大概考到全級二十幾名才sure 入Band 1。more pressure than this kind of school.

Hi coffee,
我個女冇補習ah,都是自己教。都真是幾辛苦(it's me, not my daughter)。我足足病了個幾月,咳到宜家才好多些,希望快些清尾!我女是唔多專心果隻,對住佢要長氣加勞氣,她時常話:「媽咪得啦,我識0架啦,當在家裏幫她Dict的時候,又這個唔記得,那個唔記得,
真是     
維有捉佢讀到熟為止。到真是Dict時(at school), 常錯在聽漏一兩個字,
example:嚇了一大跳,她寫漏個(了)字,這樣被扣5分,
真是      
不過,我對我個女的成績尚算滿意,但我老公對個女要求高,my pressure give by my husband.
我個女P1冇參加其他興趣班,令年參加School swimming class ,要Mon and Fri 放學後南華會上course.都覺她幾tired.Sat and Sun for relax and 溫習 or 去街。
係呢,昨日your daughter's Math test OK 嗎?
My daughter常錯些大意的、不小心的。

my opion:this kind of school 真係要讀、讀、讀 for 初小,
add 課外for高小。想起初初小一時,first dict is 1 or 2 page(s) at PLE book, but some other school is A to Z and a to z. 到小二,some school also within ten words. You think!
另外,我覺得好看家長的心態,
心態1:家長冇時間教or 認為教書是學校的責任or家長自己不想付出心血----don't choice;
心態2:自己會用心教or many support(example 補習 or 吹谷)-----best choice!

c.c.lam,

其實我係old girl, 我嗰個年代冇mud功課, 讀得幾輕鬆. 依家的校長就係我當時5,6年班的班主任. 照睇依家好似辛苦好多. :cry:
唔知俾唔俾個女讀好?

C.C.Lam

Hi beetle,
我覺得依家的陳校長都好好人,會留意學生的各方面發展(not only 成績),包括行為上發展,她好清楚or留意每個學生的性格,更進一步,她可能會ask the student's kindergarden 校長去了解student behaved at kindergarden.
有時我見她在操場,好多students會圍住她,表演給她欣賞。
我覺得她是個親力親為的人。
於功課方面,我覺得不算太多,至少在常識科無須抄生字,學校不主張太多抄寫。(比著叫我女做抄寫,鬼叫了)
主力學生在家自行記熟及讀識就OK啦!

我女讀Kindergarden時,都是活動教學,no dict,have 抄生字(不多),所以最初小一(Sept, Oct)都教佢教得幾辛苦,but慢慢會OK。
可以的話,在幼兒時我主張每事物自己教女兒快正常皆段少少前學習,比了一個概念佢先,當應該學識那事物的時候就容易入腦。
例如:學自己的名字---考K1前,教佢識叫自己的名(當老師考佢時,都識呀!); 讀K1後,教佢識認自己的名(不會錯拿別人書本); K2學寫筆畫時,教佢識寫自己的名。K3要寫生字時,至少寫得正確,無須改正。
有某些家長時常投訴學校
例如:於K2時為何老師們未教董個女識認自己的名,
K3時,寫自己的名都常常寫錯。教完本書後,呢個字唔識讀,又果個唔識看。K3了,又為何沒有Dict,另外些學校己經有Eng Dict, and Chinese Dict.,寫的生字非常深。一味話學校教得唔好,方法唔正確,人地有,你地冇。不返省

C.C. Lam , thank you so much!

ckwliu,

Really? Which year you're in? Would u mind to tell me whether you've any daughters studying in St.Paul?

JodiYang

ckwliu,
Again is me, Jodi. I pretty much agree what u've shared with us.....
Since my son is quite active but can't be concentrated enough, also he doesn't much like doing hw  :-| Moreover, I think he is a little bit below standard (since he is a "small boy" ) so what kind of school will be more suitable for him?

beetle

ckwliu,

I'm still struggling whether to put my daughters in St.paul or try some other DSS.  There're both pros and cons in these 2 types of schools.  I want them to have a happy school life, thats why I put my elder daughter to an kindergarten with active teaching approach.  But school fees is another issue.  If both my daughters study in DSS. The school fees will be expensive.  My husband prefers to save the money for their future studies.  
So I have to start to collect information about these schools.
What about you? I guess you have sons , right?

lamsuetwai

as my friend's girl studying at Pui Kiu and she said actually they are concern more on the Chinse (Manadrin) than English althought they claims it is int'l approach, what do you think?

How about Hon Wah?

JodiYang

ckwliu,
thx for your sharing again. Actually not only my kids, me myself also learning what u said ..... hehe
Before I forget, is that u have kids studying in Hohwah? If so, hows their school life? Do they like going to school and have the interest to learn? Does the school fulfill what u expect so far?
