其實本來我不想再作回應，但既然有人為了「叻到會飛」一詞而耿耿於懷......

其實中國人寫文章總愛咬文嚼字，又喜歡用誇張一點的言詞去讓人容易理解意思；譬如，我們對著那些一朝得志、招搖過市的人，我們或會說：「得戚得佢呀！係度鬆毛鬆翼。」咁人類又不是离鳥，何來毛翼去鬆呢？又以最近某電視劇的金句：「一言既出、駟馬難追。」說話又如何用馬去追回來的呢？所以S君算是在「叻到會飛」一詞上鑽了牛角尖，捉錯用神，太執著啦。


回應Sindy所說：「以我所知，係見ｄ超能人．．．可能你囡囡只係叻．．．」

我覺得Sindy都不是有惡意去批評SPC的選學生準則。心水清的話，甚至可以知道SPC不是絕對要選些「超能人」或只是「見ｄ超能人」，或者Sindy可能只是想安慰沒有獲安排面試的家長。咁「超能人」是否指超人？即Superman？咁真的是「叻到會飛」啦！

輕鬆些吧，香港人。

I believe there're some 「叻到會飛」(or in my own words "absolulte outstanding" girls and as well as average or pool ones in Convent, this is just like all other good and famous schools.  My friend's younger sister was the absolute outstanding girl in convent some years ago.  How oustanding she was?  eg. She was the ony chosen  in the school to represent HK to join an international event at the great wall of Beijing, together with many other outstanding students from different countries, along with Chinese officials (prime minster).  Her academic results was sufficient enough to get admitted to some of the US top U (e.g. MIT, that's her family history ).  However, she is so humble that she said an oustanding girl from convent would be like those "above average" girl in DGS, I remembered she compared the results in terms of admission rates to the world's top uni. This girl eventually didn't choose to fly to the states for top quality Uni but stay at HKU.  I don't know how and don't know why we need to qualify "「叻到會飛」scientifically.  But I believe there're some and many students who are academically sound but humble about themselves, and they may not study at those world top uni, but they are actually extraordinary outstanding.

St Paul's Convent 在7月7號已進行P1入學註冊（要交9月份學費$2xxx），有之前已收咗嘅學生因有更好的選擇（Maryknoll, Marymount, St.Mary, St. Stephen's Girls', St Paul Co-Edu, 女拔）而放返D學位出嚟。所以SPC現在開始call waiting list及interview外面的學生。

I have been a private tutor for a convent’s girl since she was P5 until F.3 (mainly on Maths)
It was about 13 years ago. I still remembered their English level is not extremely high.
That’s what they learnt is equivalent to the standard of P.5 at that time, not a form higher.
My students’ result is so so, she got 17 marks in HKCEE and is able to continue her study at SPC.
She then left before A level and study in UK.
I have a cousin, who is 1 form older than my student.
She got 25 marks in HKCEE, got some A’s and B’s and C’s in A level, proceeded her study in UK.
Now she got full scholarship for her PHD study in UK.
SPC secondary attracts many top and bright students from other primary schools.
Generally, they would accept all the graduates from their primary unless they are too bad to accept.

Hi yapple,
     Actually, I already sent 3 letters before (last year Sept, Oct and April 2009) , I got rejected letter on Sept and no response on 2nd and 3rd time. Again, I sent portfolio and letter on before the release result of P1 allocation (around the first week of June) , then I got phone call for interview . Yes, I'm Catholic. Anyway, I know that it may have a lot of people to interview and chance is very small, anyway, good try. Good luck to all of you.

My daughter just finished the interview today. I saw that there have a lot of people to interview, because 15mins in one group, each group have around 4~5 kids. So, I think that the chance is very very small.

My interview will be arranged tomorrow.  I am also very worried.  What kind of questions they ask?

chmanpong

Meowross,

        Not sure when will know the result. The teacher just said that they will contact you as soon as possible if you get it.
        Also, I don't know what the criteria to choose the student ?!  Anyway, good luck.
