Hi gl,

Thanks for reading my posts and I hope it is useful to you and other parents too.

Have your daughter attend other interviews so far?  My suggestion is always to let them attend more interviews so that they can feel more comfortable of meeting strangers and familiar with the situation.  Children at this age can absorb a lot of new things and grow really fast.  At the same time, take her out as much as possible so there are more opportunities for her to meet and communicate with people she doesn't know.  Since there is just one month before the interview, I think this is what I can suggest and hopefully can help.

Good luck!

Ian

HI iantsang,

真是好多謝你的分享!你的回應都好詳盡, 我都有看呢!我都好想個女讀聖心, 但她剛滿兩歲(1107), 講野好少, 是否機會很微, 有冇好方法train她呢? ...

I must stress this is just my personal feelings and my own assumption.

Personally I wonder how many of the SHCK parents actually target DGS/ SPCC if they sent their children to SHCK.  Personally, both SPCC and DGJS are NOT in my consideration (at all) so I never feel interested to look for such information.  So I am sorry I won't have this information which you seems to be very interested in.

If you are really interested in DGJS or SPCC, I would suggest you to try applying for kindergartens like CCKG or Braemar Hill (寶山).  I believe majority of SHCK parents are happy with their daughters being a Sacred Heartist so most of them will be studying in SHCSPS/ SHCS.

Concerning the advantage of being Catholic, from observation there should be quite a lot of Catholic families in SHCK.  So I assume there may be some preferences towards it.

Hi Elsat,

Thanks!  My daughter is only in NC class (K1) now so I don't have to choose primary school yet.  At the moment I am still planning for AM primary.

Hi AhBoMama,

Actually, they will consider for mothers who graduated from any Canossian schools so I think it is still a good reference.  For our case, we are not Catholic, my wife is not graduated from Canossian schools so no relationships at all.  But we still get admitted so there are always chances!  Good luck to you!

I think further to this discussion concerning a "good" kindergarten may probably get into too much of personal view of what is "good" so I rather not to get into that and it is probably not the interest of the owner of this thread.

Back to your research concerning SPCC and DGJS, and I must make it brief since this is not relevant to this topic here.  From the data I have, if you really target for SPCC, the alternative to Braemar Hill  should be SKH and the third should be Victoria, according to data being published by each kinder.  These three together should already cover over 60% of the SPCC intake.  I hope this can save your time on your research.

Best of luck to your search of good schools!

請問, 有無人知道, 係咪得1月9日 面試, 如果12月5日交form, 有無機會在1月10日面試?

iantsang

Interesting question and I also wonder if all the interviews can be finished within a day due to higher birth rate in 2007.

However, don't forget this is a Catholic kindergarten so it is very unlikely they will have interviews organized on a Sunday.  One possibility is to have interviews on the following Saturday if the number of applicants are really so high and they can't handle it within January 9.  But this is too soon to tell.

唔該晒你!!  因為已知1月9日, 我先生唔可以一起去inv.  而inv. 實在太激, 我尼個c nine 仔唔太敢參與.  如果,我12月5日交form, 博唔博得過呢?  總之,唔係9號inv 就得.  即使唔係10號, 16號都好.  
現在, 心大心細, 唔知明早交 還是 後日交form, 又怕即使後日交, 都係9號下午inv.  真係, 連交form都要麻一輪

thx for sharing your experience and opinion about SHK!
We live in Sham Tseng, and I really hope that my daughter can get an offer from this school !

iantsang

If you submit as late as possible on Dec. 5, then either one will happen (1) your interview can be very late on Jan. 9 or (2) on a date other than Jan 9 if they find out it is impossible to finish all interviews in one day.

hi ian,

請問你知唔知shk係咪唔會考慮啲住得遠嘅小朋友? 因為我哋住沙田, 之前都有一間kg 問過我哋返學嘅安排, 可能因為我哋唔係住香港區, 宜家要waiting. 你囡囡嗰班有無同學仔唔係住港島區?

iantsang

Hi 21oct07,

The area you live won't be a consideration for SHCK since including us, there are a lot of SHCK students not living in HK island.  So no need to worry about this!  There are a few from Shatin I think and there are more from either Kowloon West (e.g. Kln stn., Olymipics) or Kowloon East (e.g. TKO) and even like us from NT West (Tsing Yi, Tsuen Wan and Sham Cheng)
