四大天王: 東男拔, 西女拔, 南聖小, 北保羅

After reading your postings in BK, I had got a lot of insights. I knew you are good-hearted. However, different people have different value-judgement. We just need to share what we have observed and let others have their own decision making.

Even for benchmarking purpose, different people have different pre-set criteria. It is normal. Because we have different experience, perception, expectation, constraints and concerns. Therefore, no need to argue which schools are superior and which ones are inferior.

And, direct comparison is rarely meaningful. I would suggest parents to understand their children' traits and abilities; and then match with a suitable school.

Good medicine for one may be poison for others.

Sometimes we need a very direct comparsion between schools. People coming here should be eager to know more information about different schools so that they can make the right choice as it would affec ...

Very funny as it goes when I read the posts here (though not going through all of them yet).  This reminds me of an incident in my good old days when I was a F.6 student.  We had an interclass debate and I represented our class to be one of the debating team members (gosh, for the first time in my life!).  We, as the affirmative side, narrowly beat our neighbouring class (with members coming from DBS, Maryknoll Convent and St Mary's).  I must say they had very good debating skills, not to mention their English proficiency.  However, I remember the captain of our honourable opponent exaggerated things unnecessarily (e.g. she said, "You are no doctors and we are no fools.  How should we believe in you").  She did have an excellent command of English and her thought went swiftly too, but there was just too much unnecessary exaggeration (btw, hope she's not reading this now).

Yes, we need to be assertive when protecting our interest (as what we bravely did in the July 1 rally in 2003).  However, in a setting like BK, I have always wanted a cosy and accommodating environment for sharing among parents to the benefit of one another.

One more thing has to say.

Secondary school is also located in Stanley nearby.

It's an independent campus, i.e. no need to share with the primary school. The scenary is also beautiful. Campus is l ...

I totally agree with you this time, not other post

For your information, SSC has the largest campus in HK and DBS only number 2, but DBS in prime location. Pls Pls don't debate with me about the definition of prime location, I do you favour and make SSCPS more appealing.

PhdJessiema,

I have to say thank you for this post, I might need it next year.

雖然有時我不同意你的建議，但我必須認同 - 你的英文真的好好，你形容 D 校是鱷魚皮的 Hermes, 我真的笑出來。

不如你開個 Topic, 講下如何學英文？

This is the very first year for SSCPS to have the second interview. I wonder if any BK parents have an idea on what to do in the second interview.

Peter_Pan is so right........ I don't think St. Stephen's is really that "prestigious" by history !! In my secondary school days (1990's), 十大教會名校 as below

五大教會男校 are DBS, La Salle, Wah Yan Kowloon, Wah Yan HK and St. Joseph's

五大教會女校 are DGS, MCS, Heep Yunn, Marymount and St. Paul's Convent

Note:
- Of course 聖保羅男女 and 官校 (皇仁, 英皇), they are all famous schools.
- 當時的聖保羅男校都唔入十大, 更何況 St. Stephen's !!

Don't mean to pour cold water - but I don't think many parents will give up places in the other 3 schools for St Stephen's while most will give up St Stephen's to go to the other 3!
Having said that S ...
