Transfer Student for P2

thomas_dad

My son is studying in P1 at a government school but I am planing to put him into La Salle(LS) or Diocesan Preparatory School(DPS) in P2.  The application date of DPS for transfer students will be from April 1 to 30 for P2-6 for the year 2010/2011.  Please refer below link if you are interested in.

Thank you thomas_dad!  
Do you know how many vacancies are available for each grades?

thomas_dad

Yes, indeed!  But it doesn't matter if we fail, it matters if we do not try.

Totally agree.
My child and one classmate were transferred to DPS and LS. So your son has chance. Add oil!!!

great parent!

The only regret is that you didn't give it a try.  

Life only lives once and you only have a(or two or three) children.

Hi wisekid,

Oh, I see, sorry for my misunderstanding!

Actually I am not too sure what the best secondary schools are now and I do not really too care it now as things always change.

What I do think now is to train my kid excel in English and Maths, DPS should be definitely better in English level and some aspects comparing with the school my kid is studying in.

Besides, I guess DPS provides a more challenging environment than the school he is in now.

How about you, do you have any similar situation? Like you are trying to transfer your kid in P.2?  Would you please share with me too?

Hi thomas_dad,

I am not the famous wisekid in this forum and my child is not studing in international school. That's why I am asking....

By the way, can you share with me why you want to put your  ...

hi wisekid,

yes, I did already told him about my intention of transfering him to whether LS or DPS
if possible.  He is confortable with it as I stressed both the schools are excellent.

Though I know the chance might be slim but it is still worth trying and see what my son can do and I will never regret that I didn't try before.

I understand that you do not want to put much pressure on your girl.  However I, on the contrary, put a lot of pressure on him as I deem it as part of my training.  I guess kids in HK lead a too comfortable life that sometimes they don't even know what the world is and thus how to react.

Except he is able to manage good academic results in his school, he doesn't have any strenghts nor rewards till now.

Can you give me an idea what the school your daughter is in and the result of her so that we will see how far or near we can reach our goal?  Or you may pm me if you like.

hi thomas_dad,

Indeed I am not yet made my decision! As I know the competition is very keen on P2 transfer, school will only invite students with top academic result for interview.  I am not sure if  ...

hi overview,

Thanks for advising!

my son is studying in one popular subsidy school in net 40.  Do you know any successful cases that came from ordinary schools?

In my assumption, I thought P2 is easier but the places are also fewer while P3 has more places but the requirments are tougher.

What are the minimum criterias you think to enter DPS or LS so to give all of us an idea how to prepare our kids to transer to such elite schools?

Just wanna know which school your son is studying?  It makes a big difference !

I think P.2 is much easier than P.3 or P.4 as they require not only excellent academic result but also other talents, s ...
