好似今年是沒有校車由沙田到旺角校舍.  未知是否很容易找到褓母車到旺角校舍呢?

中兄：

我個囝囝是細仔(年尾出世)，是否他的成績要是數一數二，否則都好難入到優才?因為聽說一般較受家長歡迎的小學，都只會收大仔大女，又或者這裏有沒有是細仔細女的，而考進優才呢?

以我所知, 優才唔會只收大仔大女; 我既细仔係十月尾出生, 都有幸被取錄。

當然, 優才收生比率约 11:1, 大仔/細仔都唔易入既。

多謝回覆.  但係我都是希望有車直到校門.  如果沒有校車, 真是有些難度. 如有人知任何褓母車行此線, 請通知. 謝謝

Hi parents,

My elder son is accepted for 09 P1. Now my headache is my younger son who is now in K2. He's born in October and he's not mature as his brother. I wonder if GT would give priority to those who have siblings studying in the school.

Thanks!

siblings 會有加分, 但唔係保証收。

以我所知, 優小收生評分有三部份: 學生面試、家長面試及特殊分數; 錄取與否, 就係睇呢三部份既总分。

以我推斷, 既然你大仔被取錄, 咁你响家長面試既分數都應該唔錯, 加上當你大仔入讀優才後, 你對學校既認識會加深, 照計你為細仔再做家長面試, 分數會比大仔個時更高; 咁加埋siblings特殊加數, 只要你細仔既學生面試分唔係太差, 入讀既机會都幾高既。

我有兩個仔讀緊優小, 亦認識好多同樣有兩個, 甚至三個兄弟姊妹一齊讀優才既; 當然弟弟/妹妹入唔倒既都有, 但唔係咁多。

Hi fumiko, my daughter will be G1 student in coming year (Sep 2009). We live in Ma On Shan and I'm also looking for any school bus serving between Ma On Shan to Mongkok school. May be we can group together and form our own team.
