It means SMC accepted yr kid? Welcome..Welcome...Congratulations
So far, it showed me that the requirment for students' Eng standard is rather high. All questions in quiz are Eng and students need to read it all by themselves and write the answers. Teachers would read through all questions AFTER quiz, as I known.
The Eng syllabus which is tailor-made by the NETs of SMC is so different to the syllabus of other schools. It is arranged by TOPICS. Stuents are encouraged to WRITE freely by using words / vocabularies that they learnt & known.
Like my son, he can write essay in Eng for a whole page about Halloween Party, My Best Friend...etc. Of course, there're still some wrong spelling and some grammatical errors, but it's OK. At least, he's so willing to WRITE in Eng, SPEAK in Eng especialy at school and READ Eng story books.
As per my findings, SMC quite focus on developing students' languages, like Eng, Putonghua and French or other modern languages.
All in all, my son is so enjoying the school life of SMC and willing to learn, to ask. But he's 好大意同唔小心睇題目。 有時都俾佢激死!
Wish your kid will enjoy the school life of SMC la~

Hi WD40,
My son will study at SMC 2009/10 P.1,
Would u mind to let me know the standard of the school? is it too hard /easy? thanks.
wd40 & monkeydad,
我個女在math quiz就正正錯左你地講既兩條題目,所以佢有d唔順氣,不過quiz總會有少少主觀,所以等佢自己諗下,下次點樣做得好d啦!
坦白講,小學有小學既遊戲規則,就等佢自己摸索啦!
我個女本G.S. 作業真係笑死我.....
e.g. you should have a good _____ for sleeping.
個 standard答案係 posture, but我個女答"bed"
you should ____ your body.
standard答案係 protect,我個女答take care....
You girl is totally correct. We need a good bed and we should take care of our body - logcially correct. We should not discourage her thinking beyond the box (model answer) as long as she has the logic and reasoning. They are not machines.
I share the same view. We don't mind making the donation but frequency is a concern. We prefer to put a lump sum in one lot rather than doing that like monthly.
我亦好憎這類籌款活動, 不要誤會,我不是不樂意付款(其實好些學校都有) 開學至今只有3個月,印像中已有4次(Sport day, charity ticket, 老人院 及christmas casual wear day)平均每個月一次, 每次都填表,開支票&寫交費袋. 每次起碼花我20分鐘時間. 如學校能一年分3次 List all details, so I pay it by one cheque, so the clerk of SM do not have so many desk work for collection of money.

我都好鍾意呢間學校,佢地學到野而功課唔多,有空間俾佢地閱讀&溫習,而且英語環境一流,學生有自信&自學能力高!
I have the same feeling as you, to me I don't mind to donate to those who really need our real support like in those 3rd countries which I regular do it. However, it's a bit annoying to give such pressure to kids and parents to show up they have donated among the others.
By the way, it increases a lot workload to teachers and parents.
Do you think the school has too much charity / donation programs. I have signed a number of cheques recently and majority of those are for "Little Sisters of the Poor". Why don't the school just give us a table to fill in the donation amount for each items and pay the lump sum in one lot, rather than having us to pay so many cheques.
I decided to give up supporting "The Power of Lover Christmas Charity Show".
