The cost for books is around $189x.xx- and plus $79.5 for the plastic book covers, you have to prepare for $2,000 for books and $140 for e-reading.(e-reading is optional but I think most of the students will join)

4R is correct that in the first round, St Mary's accpeted 64 students and the total number of seats are around 124. I also have friend with 20 marks not being accepted in the first round.
Though the nubmer look less, but you have to remember that Canossian's Angel student will also come to St. Mary's College later, so you can image how big a class in F1 it will be, so taking less P1 students is not a bad arrangement.
With less students, for those admitted are good since there will only be around 30-32 students in each class. Smaller class is better.
They will also push the parents to ensure the girls are good enough. I heard that parents are receiving calls from school today to meet with teachers this week if the girl did not perform well in the test last Saturday (parent's day). They are really serious.

SMCC有六班F1, 每班約40人。一直以來每年的收生差不多：三班來自同校小學，兩班天神，一班其他學校。每年由小學部上中學都有超過110人，與現今一條龍後的學位數目沒有多大分別。不過以前小學部未轉全日制時每級有五班（上下午加埋），全日制後才變四班，而小學部轉全日制都有幾年了。[/quote]
I'm not quite sure whether there is a formal anouncement regarding the total numbers of P1 students of SMCS and HACS this year. But maybe we can do some interesting arithmatic according to the info collected.

The mode of "Through train" re SMCS is "two to one", i.e. SMCS and HACS to SMCC. According to the info at the website of HKecity, as at May 2004, the numbers of P1 students in SMCS and HACS are 136 and 105 respectively. The number of S1 in SMCC was 240, six classes, not mentioned when, perhaps also up to May 2004. It means, then, the total number of P1 students of the two primary schools almost equaled to that of S1 in SMCC. In order to comply with the guide of "Through train", say, the secondary school should reserve not less than 15% of their total number of S1 places for outsiders after deducting 5% of the places for the repeaters, the schools has two alternatives, increasing the places of S1 or reducing the number of P1. Because each class of S1 has already 40 students, it is more easily to choose the latter. That is what we see now. P1 places of SMCS is less than ever before, to around 120, and that of HACS is around 90. I think the exact number of P1 students in SMCS will be learned after school opening. Anyway, around 30 students each class is really quite good.

The Principal mentioned of grouping all Catholic students at primary 3 into 1 or 2 classes. Is it a common practice at Catholic primary schools, anybody knows?

Bebemama

WSIP,

Thank you for your information. The van you referred is actually providing service to students of St.Mary's but they do not have a route for Shatin because the school bus has offered service for Shatin students and thus they do not have business anymore, they just cut the route.
Anyway, thanks for your info.

Did not hear about that in other Catholic school but I think it's not a problem to do that because if there is any lecturing or activities for Catholic students, it will be more convenient for the school and the kids.

What are the negative impacts on this arrangement?

Mission, Bebemama,
I know why. The book for the BK lesson is different.

In Catholic class, the book is the preview of the Old Testament but the book for non-catholic class are general on moral.

Hi yinyin,

I think cotton underwear is still required to absorb the sweat. As the primary school girls are not allowed out of the school complex during school, most of the time they will spend in school which has air con. By the way, do you need to arrange school bus for yr daughter?

I am planning to buy some orange color 頭飾 for my daughter later in Mong Kok or TST. (Her favourite color is Fuchsia/Pink but it's not allowed at school)

我  覺得好似底裙同裙分開好d   

我不搭校車, 自已接送  

學校外牆加晒棚架及網不知是否要油漆.

都放暑假了, 不知為何日日都在街上見到好多女仔穿了校服

mission,

Be careful.  They are very strict.  They allow navy, orange and black only.  Not even some white with orange.  No pattern at all.  The plastic band need to be of the same colour as well.

抄手冊即係寫家課冊。好多升小一既小朋友尚未懂得將老師寫在黑板上的家課或需要溫習/預習課文寫上家課冊中，又或是寫得一塌糊塗，又或是寫得非常慢，將要抄下的項目漏了。
我不肯定學校現在有沒有「網上家課冊」給家長每天查閱，但小朋友還是需要學懂抄寫家課冊的。

I see. My daughter has copied homework and assignment titles at class in K3. I think she can follow suit at primary one too.
