好想入st paul男女,可否教路,怎樣步署呀??

baibaimama

we are also applying SPCC for our daughter for academic year 2009.   She is also attending K3 at Victoria CWB.

For kids whose parents have attended SPCC or have siblings attending SPCC, the chance is quite high like 25-33%, but for kids whose family has no connection (like our case), the chance is only 5%.  My girl is really shy and quiet, so chances would be slim    I am just hoping we may be lucky enough to get on the waitlist so we can have chance to keep "knocking on door"....
Lets apply some backup schools so don't get too stressed-out or panic.  The kids may not perform well or they will become stressed out too if they see us panic.  SPCC is a great school, but it is just too popular so even the kids don't get admitted that does not mean the kids are not good enough la!

呵, 我識個差d撻Q
後來梗係死ai爛ai, 日日帶個小朋友去見校長攪返掂啦
(從以上呢句已經知佢唔係一般申請人啦)

樓主如果你真係想報署入聖保羅男女，點解唔幫個小朋友轉寶山幼稚園，差不多入硬聖保羅男女，我識咁多個小朋友讀呢間，只係兩個唔入，唔係聖保羅唔收，只係兩個小朋友(Twin)搬過九龍仲入埋La Salle！ ...

Charlotte_mom, do you know how long it took for your friend to beg until they offer her kid a place at SPCC?  Was the kid on waitlist?

I also know a friend's friend's son who was on waitlist several years ago.  The mom had to beg and beg until 1 week before school started.  She kept writing letters and sent in many awards/artwork etc.  I really think the "never give-up attitude" is very admirable but not sure I can do that myself!!!

試下搭路識校長，這個方法最有效，我有個朋友的小朋友就因此而入到SPCC。

另外一個最有效的方法就是．．．．．係學校搵份工做，好大機會入到。不過，仍有在職員工的小朋友考唔到，但考唔到的百分比相對較低。

kyliema2006, working at SPCC will be out of the question... as both myself and my hubby don't have a degree in education and no experience in teaching... don't think they will hire us as janitor

as for meeting the headmistress, i heard is really depends on how good the parents' relationship with Lee Tue Yee the headmistress... i heard some parents know the headmistress well, have donated good amount of money (1M+) as well as 2 older brothers studying at SPCC, but still could not get the youngest son in.... heard the youngest boy's academic not good plus really didn't perform well in interview.

若成績不好又或是操行不好，學校當然不會考慮。所以，先決條件是孩子成績不俗，然後再從不同途徑幫助孩子入讀此校。

總知你係舊生（中小學）仔女、有兄妹讀緊的話，你就係同番呢班有關係人士爭７０％　ｏｆ　１５０位，即１０５個位的其中之一。

阿仔個契爺話帶我去一啲可以見到校長嘅活動,到時介紹校長比我識,仲要唔只去一次,要呢一年都keep住見.不過我覺得好'魚',仲未應承.

但係契爺話都要睇番小朋友嘅質素,如果係唔得,識校長都無用.但係如果係幾個差不多嘅小朋友之間簡一個,一定係識校長嗰個.

Charlotte_mom

loveheiting,
如果小朋友係ok既, 見多幾次校長, 應該會留下一個好印象掛? (理論上), 總好過interview就係第一次見面, 小朋友又緊張, 未必發揮到最好
人事呢樣野..........係瘀架........以前知道人地有人事, 會好唔份氣, 而家我都睇得好化了, 邊個父母唔想為小朋友打算丫, 有人事既當然要試一試, 無人事......唯有講句大家無緣份啦!

健康媽媽
dgs既女仔太aggressive了, spcc既學生, 除左勁, 最緊要係謙虛, 有大將之風, 呢樣野真係好難得!

Yes I like DGS, but my husband said DGS girls are too aggressive and competitive, and would scare some men away!!!  Plus we live in HK Island so a reasonable commute (within 30 mins one way) is also quite important.  Imagine stuck in traffic everyday for more than 1.5-2 hours (both ways!)

嫁唔出係一件事, 唔識專重人更可怕 , 我見識過一d, 真係串人鬧人(even鬧父母)唔駛本架!

回想當年去spcc聽info session, 所見既每一個staff, 無論係嬸嬸or老師, 都係謙謙有禮的, 我果日遲左到, 無位, 自己攝埋一角企, 即刻有老師好友善咁帶我去搵位(我唔好意思周圍搵阻住人聽嘛), 個位比較側, 佢又幫我整開d大窗簾等我睇清楚
我只係一個普通家長, 唸下一年幾多人想考spcc, 當中90+%家長好快會變成路人甲乙丙, d職員都咁耐心接待, 真係俾人一個非常難忘既印象, 我當時唸, 就係呢d環境至培養出d咁得睇既學生(可惜我無份丫.....)

Charlotte_mom, what do you think about St Stephens Girls' primary?  We are going to choose that for discretionary placement but given we only have 15 points, we are just hoping to knock on door/ get lucky during central allocation.  

I heard many good things about SSGP as they are quite similar to SPCC in terms of religion/ methodology in teaching... small class too (only 33 students in each class) heard the headmistress used to teach at SPCC.  

Any insights on SSGP will be greatly appreciated!

最難得的是，普遍家長家境都很富裕，而學生都可以那麼謙謙有禮，實在難得。

希望真的如你所說咁好，我個女就放棄讀dgs揀了spcc,因我仲有個細仔

健康媽媽: your daughter must be very smart, as she got into both DGS and SPCC... are you an alumnae for either school?  if not can you give us some tips on how to do well in application to SPCC?  

was your daughter born in Jan thru June (older girl)?  Is she assertive or has won some awards... Anything we need to pay attention in application or during interview?   i think you made a good very smart choice in choosing SPCC for your daughter as your son will have much greater chance in admitting when applying SPCC!!!

thanks Charlotte_mom and 健康媽媽 in advance
