嘉諾撒聖心學校家長請進

HappyBee

Dear All,

Its good that the term tests are over.  This is the first time for my girl to understand what's a test is. :idea:

Wish all of your girls can get good results. Nevertheless, also prepare yourself (as well as myself), esp. for the girls of P1 as mine, to receive an unsatisfactory result.   :wink:

Cheers!!    

Ms.ChanChan

Happybee,

係呀，昨日測完最後科science真係鬆晒，昨晚又可以正常咁練琴睇課外書。

應該今日會陸續派卷改正，祝大家好運

Hello, 各位聖心媽媽,

你地D寶貝測驗成績如何? 唉!小女就強差人意, 尤其係英文, 佢果班有成9個人唔合格, 好彩佢都合格, 但係就唔高分囉!(僅僅合格個隻) :cry:

上兩個星期日, 我去church見到佢上年個同班同學既亞爸, 佢話今次英文測驗D英文真係幾深, 佢個女果班有成十幾個人唔合格。(佢個女都唔合格)

我個女既問題就係唔夠時間做, 其他mama有無人可以教下我點幫佢呢   :-|

Ms.ChanChan

東京mewmew，

我覺得通常測驗出的題目會比考試深，我地今次考試聽個女講中文科出得幾深，好多小朋友都唔合格。

如果唔夠時間做卷咁可能平時要TRAIN下佢，比些練習佢要定時完成，睇下咁樣會唔會好些？

各位上午校家長，

有無睇過剛出爐的03-04校務報告？有無咩意見？

另外今年的新校長原來本身熱愛睇書，佢話自己係書虫。 果然除了搞了個作家的講座外，今年的圖書閱讀冊真的令人有驚喜，我自己翻閱再三，愛不釋手。
唔知係咪"上有好者，下必有甚焉"呢？ 我早上在圖書館做義工的時候見圖書館真係好多好多學生川流不息，有時連出入都有困難，我見到呢個現象真係好開心，好想同你地分享。

Hi Ms CC

Yes, I like that book report very much too.  My girl says that she doesn't feel like writing on it because it looks too pretty

Dear Ms. ChanChan,

我個女, 一時時喇, 如果D題目好淺, 佢咪夠時間囉, 題目深就無辦法啦! :cry:

不過, 我都同意你既講法, 以我個女讀下午校既經驗, 佢次次上學期既卷一定係全年最深既, 上學期考試就淺D, 下學期測驗又無上學期咁深喎。都唔知點解   

以我個女既性格, 佢係暑假通常會玩得好盡, 到開學時都要成一、兩個月先收番個心番黎, 但係偏偏上學期個測驗係全年最深既測驗, 所以佢次次成績都唔係咁好 :cry:

唉!不過, 算啦, 佢性格係咁都無辦法, 唯有自己用多D時間幫下佢囉 :exclaim:

Hi Ms.ChanChan

I'm interested to read the 03-04校務報告.  
How can I get a copy of the 03-04校務報告?
Can I download it from the web?  If yes, can you please let me know the web site.

Thanks a lot.

gt143，

你係咪聖心上午校家長呢？你小朋友讀幾年班呀？

Hi Ms ChanChan & 東京mewmew

It seems a lot of students will fail in the test/exam.  Logically, I would have thought this seemed to be quite harsh to those little girls.  Obviously, it hurts their confident & self-estimee if they score less than 50.  

Why don't the school design the test/exam in such a way that majority of the student can pass but yet they can still differentiate the grades.  I'm quite sure the standard of those girls should be above average (in general because of SHC's high standard).  

Or, is it because the school deliberatly increases the level of difficulty to "push" the student?  Is this the style of both am/pm school?

Thanks in advance for your sharing.

Ms ChanChan

thanks for your quick reply.
Not yet.  Hopefully will be & that's why I want to read the report & find out more about the school.

Ms.ChanChan

gt143，

你係咪22號面試？祝你成功!

其實測驗題目所謂"深"只不過係無咁直接，有時題目會出得tricky些，比多些思考的空間小朋友，而非一味死讀書，我個人覺得都幾好。 而且測驗成績唔會直接寫落成績表度，如果小朋友在接著下來的考試努力一點，也可以把成績追上的。

i was a student at SHCC from p1 to f2. i can still remember, my p3 english history text book was exactly the same one that my p4 sis's studying in st clare. we shared one book that year.

that's what i want to raise out... SHCC's standard is really high; but it's easy to kids at all. anyway, i admit that a well-based education good for a lifetime! it's worth.

Hi Ms.ChanChan

Thanks for the clarification.  
I understand the a.m. school is still a traditional type of school.  Sometimes traditional schools (in general) put too much focus on the academic side & examination.  This will put pressure on the parent & student & the whole learning process will become mechanical training on exams & score/grade orientated routines.  Besides, school regulations sometimes are too strict which may not still applicable to the current situation.  

I'm not sure the real situation of SHC a.m. school & its not fair to put any personal comment.  

Any sharing on this subject?  How about the new Principal (Sister Tsim)?  Any positive changes noted or do you find its difficult for any new person to influence a school with a very long & strong history & tradition (145 anniversary)??

Maybe Ms.ChanChan & & 東京mewmew can share more on both the am & pm session.  Both are good school but they are not alike in many aspects.

I understand Principal Sister Wong (with good leadership) of pm session has implemented a lot of positive changes which proved to be very successful over the last 2 years.  

    

Ms.ChanChan

gt143,

我試下答下你問題 ：-

1. 我自己個人覺得反而傳統學校無新進的地區名校咁pushing同埋無咁過份著重學業成績。
2. 校規係咪過嚴我諗個個人的領受或睇法唔同，不能一概而論。
3. 就聖心am而言，上述兩點我個人覺得是不存在的。 我反而覺得學校近年致力減輕學生的考試功課壓力，以下為其中某些例子 ：-
a. 考試全年2測2考
b. Science科延遲至小三才開始教授
c. 默書減少至一個星期只有一次(e.g. 今個星期默中文，下個星期默英文)
d. 功課以我女兒現讀小三為例，一日平均只有三至四樣功課。
至於校規，都現在為止我覺得最"嚴"的就是要長髮的要鬢辮(要我一早花10分鐘幫個女鬢辮真係幾煩)，唔可以梳馬尾，其他我真係唔覺有咩特別。

詹修女正式成為am的校長只有短短兩個多月，要談論她的"政績"未免過早，但我個人覺得她比較親"民"(我自己及女兒的感覺)，致力推動課外閱讀風氣，增加學校的透明度等等。

Happy Bee,

Can you kindly let me know your experience?  Last year's interview - your daugther was interviewed by Headmaster or Teacher?  1 to 1?  What are questions?   Kindly let me know by return or send me e-mail at [email protected].  Thanks in advance.

HappyKid

HappyBee

Happy Kid,

I'm sorry that I can't give any information about the interview becasuse my daughter was Sacred Heart K/G student, so there was no need for her to attend any interview.  Anyone can answer Happy Kid's questions?

HappyBee

HappyBee

Ms Chan Chan,

I agree with your points very much.

One more example for the 3rd point is that instead of using the English Textbook of P2 (Book 2A) in P1 classes as in the past, they teach Book 1B in the 1st term of P1 and then Book 2A in the 2nd term.  It's more reasonable.

Concerning your point :

至於校規，都現在為止我覺得最"嚴"的就是要長髮的要鬢辮，唔可以梳馬尾，其他我真係唔覺有咩特別。

As far as I can understand the difference is that when a girl wearing a long pony tail shakes her head, her hair may hurt other's eyes, or even her face/eyes in case the movement is sudden or the weather is windy,  which I had experienced with my daughter's pony tail before. So, I guess this regulation is set for the sake of safety.  

HappyBee

Ms.ChanChan

happybee，

我明白
不過我嫌麻煩o者! 呢d係我個人問題其實唔關校規係咪太嚴事囉!

Hi MsChanChan & Happybee

Thanks for the sharing.  I'm speaking the general impression of traditional school & not SHC in specific.  That's why it better to ask parents of the school.
I fully agree on what you said about the aggressiveness of other not so famous schools nowadays.  Its scary!!!

Happybee

I believe your girl is in am school & hope the transition to primary went well for both of you.  
Any problems you or your girl encountered in the first month or weeks?
How much homework per day in terms of subject?
They have pretty big class group of approx. 44 students, teachers (not their fault) seem quite difficult to pay close attention to each student due to the size.  This is one of my concerns, any comment.  

Ms ChanChan (& other SHC parents), please feel free to share as your girl is in P.3

Thanks in advance.

Hi SHC P.M. session parents

Would the SHC pm school parent please share the "small-class-teaching" of pm session.

Any areas (for instance):
- Effectiveness;
- Student participation;
- Student learning motivation & initiation;
- School provides adequate/necessary resources to support;
- Kids performance at home;
- Confidence building;
- Social ability, language (Eng & Chinese) or presentation ability;
- or you name it, etc.

Many thanks.    :  :
