Urgent! Please advise Raimondi vs. 聖保祿天主教

cmchang0927

I don't know which one to choose for my daughter!  We have a little brother at home.  If we choose St. Paul Catholics, he will have no marks for next yr's first round.  But St Paul Catholics is free and I heard that it's a good school.   So if you were me, which one will you choose?  Please kindly advise................

I will choose st paul catholic.   It is not guarantee that you younger one can get a place for Raimondi.  

ST paul catholic is a really good school.

两間都係傳統，多功課默測考。你揀得呢两間，應該係相信傳統呢套。

我係St Paul's家長，如果自行就入到來，我會恭喜你，因爲越來越難入，唔好輕易放棄一間咁好既學校。

横掂細佬到時都唔係100%肯定入返Raimondi，唔好要家姐作無謂既遷就。

Interview skills of boys are not as good as girls. So if your boy is very smart, there's no need for you to bother the little brother at this stage and choose the school according to your will. But if you are not sure, I recommend you to reconsider. My smaller boy gets accepted this year by Raimondi, I believe elder brother plays a part.

兩間都係傳統, 咁好彩入到st paul又係好學校, 慳返好多年學費wor, 我會揀st paul
除非細佬考學校似乎勝算不大, 否則都係隨緣啦

Exactly!

雖然我得一個小朋友，唔會切身感受到有家姐細佬家長既種種考慮；但係，每個小朋友都係個體，我始終覺得要分開來做决定，對家姐會公平0的。

Thanks for all yr comments!  But my husband asked me, since St Paul catholics is a chinese primary school, will it be a problem to the level of Eng in the future?

兩間都係好學校, 但St Paul 係十二年免費一條龍直上, 就算姊姊入咗Raimondi, 弟弟未必保証一定入到Raimondi 的. 或者出年弟弟可以靠自已考到呢.

兩間唯一分別係女校 or 男女校.

假如不介意讀女校的話, 我會揀 St Paul, 好多人恨到口水都流呀!

唔好意思,想問一問你先生是否現在先知st.paul catholics係中文教學?

15 marks in, congratulations! U  Really need to seriously think about this.  A couple of my friends' kids are there, the parents all said it is a good school, although it's traditional.  The teachers there said to my friend that they are more concerned on a girl's moral and behaviour than their academics.  So my friend felt that their teachers have hearts.

Yes chinese is the medium, that's the little drawback. But would you accept this little drawback for such a good school?

I give you some info for your consideration. I am a current P.1 parent of Raimondi. I have 2 close friends whose daughters are studying in St. Paul Catholics P.1 and P.2 respectively this year.

We always share the worksheets and discuss the academic levels of both schools. My 2 friends also admitted that Raimondi's academic level (esp English and PTH) is higher than St. Paul for sure. We also agree that both schools are good school according to the qualities of the teachers (with hearts) and students.

However, be fair, if school fee is a concern (and if you don't mind 1/2 day school), then 6 years' free education is really attractive. Good luck !!

of course to choose 聖保祿天主教, it is a great school and it is a girl school , it will be good for your girl. Although it is a chinese primary school, its English is above standard

梗係 st.paul , 15 分入到, 真係好幸運, 要好好把握, 恭喜

憑15分入到...是十分難能可貴...不要浪費這個機會...雖然它是中文學校...但我不覺得學生們的英文會很差...仲有...這是一條可以升上其band 1中學的門口...

In my opinion, I don't think studying Chinese Primary School=problem in Eng level. Too many good schools in Hong Kong la each must have its adv/disadv but your daughter can only study one, why not to choose one which is free!
