My girl is in SP p.3 now and they have 37 kids in a class. They then reduced the no. since then to 34, 32(?) and now 30 for 2010/11. It is good for the kids but we are still NOT considered as a school with small class teaching wherein the standard no. of kids are 25.

I m going to do the registration tomorrow. May be our girls will be the classmates in the future. So this year they have less students in one class than they usually do in the past years? It seems ...
I think 30 is very good already leh! When I was a primary student (which is more than 20 yrs ago), my class had 45 pupils leh! But no one had the guts to disturb the lessons at that time even there was only one teacher to so many students...

haha, btw, I don't expect that my girl can get an offer from DGJS leh............... cos' she is on the waiting list of a few school only, she never can get acceptance apart from Raimondi and true lig ...
Actually, we are a bit disappointed with her interview skills leh............. I saw some kids who can have a few offers from the DSS and private schools............. and my girl just doesn't have the ability to achieve that..........sigh...........
Now I think may be the fate have arranged us to study in St. Paul, to save money for her future to study aboard (may be), so just 順其自然leh!
In fact, the school is making an effort to pilot a small class teaching scheme with p.3 Chinese Language subject this year. The class is divided into half and they each have one Chinese Language teacher teaching them respectively. I really appreciate the school's initiative on this project as it means a lot of work on resources and planning.
Given the popularity, it is more difficult for traditional schools in the area to go small-class.
Welcome to SP. Visit our SP threads often and don't be scared by our grumbles. They are all happy grumbles anyway.

Don't look down on our kids. Kids are developing on their own pace and on a different scale. The kids that I knew who got admitted to one of those elite schools are not the bright ones I know, they did not so good in the kinder. Not making sense to measure a kids' ability at this early stage. We're all just playing a game.
Let's focus on building our kids' confidence and curiosity in learning are essential to their study all the way into uni.
i will wait for 2nd round. perhaps our daughters will be classmates.

sorry, don't be upset.....which district do you belong to ? I belong to district 14, I planned to choose Canossa (quarry bay) if I failed in the 1st round. My girl's classmate's sister is studying ...
Thanks for your comfort. I think moral development is more important than academic achievement. Now she is lucky to get into St. Paul which always emphasizes ethnical issues. I hope she can grow up as a happy and good person. Apart from DGJS, are u still expecting results from St. Stephen's?

Yes ah. I don't give up. In the meantime, I would take the opportunity to explore more about both schools.
If I don't get you wrong, you have got 2 kids right?, the small one is a boy who studying in Ling Nam?
And your big one is a girl? and have the offer of St. Stephen and RC? And you are waiting for DGJS 2nd interview result? Wha is the Kindergarten your big kid studying?
I ask because I have the similar case as yours.
Thanks
