boy in Net 41

bee

someone said there are 75% for the 1st choice school in 2nd round, it is true ?

in Net 41, besides Lasalle, DBS & Kln Tong Government Primary school, seems no much choice for boy,

in case I put Lasalle into the 1st choice in both Part A & part B and empty the rest, once I am the unlucky 25%, then which school I will allocated ?

Should it be the primary school only in N41 ? or the system will placed me outside the Net 41, please advise, tks !

Don't just put only one choice - never!  I'll advise you go through the school list in Net 41 and in fact, there are other choices.  In my case (3 years before), Net 41 does have some schools which are previously not in this net (from Wong Tai Sin).  This is because there are not enough schools in Net 41 for parents to choose and ED will move some nearby districts schools to Net 41 then.  In my case, my son was allocated to SKH Kei Tak Primary School which is in Wong Tai Sin district but it is quite near to my home.  This school was No. 4 on my list.  

Ask some friends (who are primary school teachers) to check if a particular school is OK and fit with your son.  I think the most important things are the Headteacher leadership, teachers' quality and attitude, schoolmates community, etc.  Don't be upset if you are given a school which is not your first choice - it will affect the child's attitude towards his new school also!

My son did study happily in Kei Tak but he has shifted to DBSPD this year as Kei Tak (a.m.) has to move to Tseung Kwan O to become a whole-day school this year.

As long as your child is keen on learning and interested in school, sooner or later he will find his own way to study and be a happy pupil!

You can check from this one, which schools from other Nets were made available to parents of Net 41 during 2nd Round (Part B) last year.
