St. Paul Convent or Marymount

sorry 打錯字。。。

其實大部分Marymount都係有家庭背景，Marymount比SPC仲要貴族，除左小部分派位個d

I have exactly the same case as the editor.  My daughter has both seats (SPC ans Marymount) since November.  I have struggled for 8 months.  
I wonder why MPS girls are more materialistic?  Do they come from different background because it is aided school?  I just guess SPC girls are rather more 'princess-like'.  I don't know.  But behaviour, values and attitude would be one of my concern.  Please share!
$$ is also one of my concern.  Although my family is not in the 'low' status, 'free' is better that 'paid', do you agree?
Personally, I prefer MPS.  But my husband and my daughter prefer SPC.

Who is the person going to study - you or your daughter?
If you put the matter to a vote in your family, who will win - you or your daughter plus your husband?
If you insist on your choice, who will suffer - you or your daughter plus your husband?
Hope these questions help you to resolve the matter without delay and you can release a place to those in needs.

睇番我之前的意見！ 其實兩間的女孩係好唔同，除左學費之外，重有要適合阿女呀！
同埋其實即使係唔洗學費，都要補習，課外活動等雜費。因為Marymount要求全面的女仔，所以好多家長都花好多錢係課外活動，St. Paul's Convent都會，但係都係係讀書多，所以其實兩間的花費都唔會差好遠。

我覺得兩間女仔都係princess-like架。

今期親子王有訪問Marymount，睇下了解多d!

Just happened find this topic.  May be I can share some of my experience.

My elder daughter once studied and my younger daughter is studying in MSS.  They both studied in MPS.  My commment is that MPS is really a very good primary school: Not just focus on academic, but alos encourage students to have all-rounded knowledge.  The English is really outstanding but at the expense of Chinese (not bad, but just average as compared to all HK primary schools).  Some comments that the top primary students left the school.  Yes, they go to the even higher ranked secondary schools.  

I heard that there are about 70% of MPS girls go back to MSS, which is not too bad, considering that some (those top students) have given up their seats.  Of course, I don't know about the last 2 years.  

My comment on MSS is also a good school.  Academic-wise, my feeling is that it is improving (based on my perception with my two daughters).  But one thing needs to note that the school seems to be stronger in Arts subjects but relatively less in Science.  I am not sure whether it is because it is quite common among girls that they prefer Arts.  I suggest to check their previous public exam results to confirm.

As some have mentioned before, the schools (both MPS and MSS) are open.  Teachers are generally kind and show respects to the students.  They are good at training the confidence of the girls.  Their school life is happy and free.  Homework and exam pressure is not so much as compared to other schools in general but my feeling is getting stronger.

Hope it helps.

MPS的英文是強的但相對地她們的中文及數學卻並不太出色,由於她們的top學生在升中時很多會轉去DGS或St. Paul Co-ed.為確保中學質素,Marymount中學甚少在第一輪自選階段收取自己小學學生,所以一定要保持好成績(A多B少)才有機會在feeder school 名額內獲考慮 (約65%),正因為這個原因,家長私底下的競爭是很厲害的, 而壓力並非來自學校,所以學生比較開心.

兩間學校的學生, 早視對方為競爭對手, 但 Paul Con 轉了直資後, 能更容易自主收學生, 有本錢挑戰 DGS

但要我選, 我都係選 MSS , 因我喜歡她堅持有教無類的精神, 親民好多 ...

同意真係無需去比較,兩間都係好學校.  想提一點St Paul's girls 系有三間中學,Causeway Bay的為直資, 跑馬地及藍田的為津校,所以我感覺貴族化非她們辦校方針.

竟然跨區中Marymount,好似整定咁,點揀好?

St. Paul Convent & Marymount
兩間都咁好,邊間會輕鬆的?升中又點睇?

有冇SPK  家長有呢個情形,請問你地點揀同點解(我得一個女,唔駛幫阿妺)? ...

若論近年本地中學公開試成績，SPCS 應僅次於 SPCC 和 DGS

What about 鄧顯?  And I think QC and La Salle would have more 拔尖 than SPCS (may not be as good to compare overall as this is common issues with boys' schools).

And don't forget BPS.  I just compared their 2010 HKCEE by subjects, BPS is better than SPCS in all major subjects, with the exception of English.

Marymount is better than St. Paul's Convent in the whole.

For English subject, what are their differences ? eg Eng Lit,fiction,extra material....

This type of topic will end up SPCS parents talk about SPCS whereas MPS parents talk about MPS.  Why bother to compare?

Another "fair" comment.

近幾年瑪小升上瑪中的比例是5至6成。瑪中收外來生較多，第一輪48个全是對外生，偶然老師囡囡或特別名人之後會特別安排。很多小六尖子都走哂去女拔、聖保羅男女、聖士提反女子、聖保祿.....第二輪收生大部分是band 2類。有一点同意，她們英文能力較強，HECEE100%全合格，可惜有些囡囡習慣公主式生活，要看自已女兒定力，千萬別埋堆那些名人之後，除非父母同意門對門，並無限量支持，否則囡囡會走向公主路，父母吃力。

我較喜歡聖保祿的囡囡！
