四大天王: 東男拔, 西女拔, 南聖小, 北保羅

PhdJessiema,

Thank you for your sharing.
Agreed with you, SSCPS is a school with loved and heart. Students like the school life very much, and the enviroment is so wonderful. My son is blessed and he is studying in this happy school. 100%, I will let him study SSC.  

Right now, English level changes to very high, starting from Grade 1, there is composition (writing food menu). Grade 2 writing Report. Anyway, children are learning very fast. Teachers will do revision to prepare dictation, test and exam for them.

I agreed with U. Most of the parents just focused on the HKCEE results, i.e. academic focus. They have an inclination of training up a professionals or some-what mult-talents. But how about training u ...

我認同部份留言者所說，SSCPS Fans太hard sell了，真的做多了。今天的SSCPS和過去真的不可同日而語！我同意是好了，但在此時此刻，暫不能稱為四大天王。

不過，我在first interview及電聯過程中都欣賞SSCPS的員工好有耐性及修養。如果SSCPS所有員工都這樣好，相信有一天都會被公認為天王級學校，因為有耐性及修養的員工才會教出好學生。

因我家住新界，上次first interview要早2小時出發，但我都好重視，因SSCPS員工都好尊重每一個小朋友及家長。

I also think that SSCPS cannot be said together with DBS/DGS/Co-edu, because SSCPS is not emphasized on academic result.  

May be that students from SSCPS are not the top students of HK, but I think they may be the healthest students because of fresh air, good environment, own canteen, musical training, teachers' caring....

It depends on parents' choice.  If parents like their kids to have heavy homework, keen competition, study and sleep late, many tutorials outside, talent in all aspect, remember don't don't don't ... don't choose this school.

我覺得入一間學校應該consider兩個exit points：

[1]一個是中學畢業公開試成續；
[2]一個是中學畢業後的工作成就。

對於[1]我不知道不便多談！[試問其他BK家長，SSCPS中學公開考試成續如何？如果有opportunity參加second interview，我會問一問。]

對於[2]，我相信良好的social skills好重要，我有一個朋友是SSCPS old boy，就因為好多人話一個'nice'字，在他的專業行業中非常成功！

Figure won't lie, intrepretation can lie due to different scenario.

You have an assumption of the student profiles are the same and parents no preference among those schools, I doubt it.

If my kid is top Band 1 (for illustration sack), definitely he will apply for DBS, SPC as top choice, but I also know so many bright kids will compete for the places, so I will apply SSC as back-up.

If two interviews are clashed, what's your choice? If two offers in hand like DBS & SSP finally, I will take DBS.

Just use application data to draw the conclusion............. too simple

yes, we cannot simply look at the figure.  E.g. for TSL (陳守仁), 3,800 applicants compete for 150 places i.e. 3.9%, does it mean the best school in town ?

But I believe that if SSCPS is not in Stanley, the competition would be much more keen.

Also, if parents use SSCPS as backup for DBS/DGS/Co-edu, that means they are of similar 'level' in their mind.

PhdJessiema, is your kid(s) studying in SSCPS, or you applied DBS/DGS/Co-edu before but rejected before (just to clarify any conflict of interest).  

If you don't mind, can you share with us which school your kid(s) is studying now?  Why not SSCPS if you said it was so good ?

I really doubt the total of applicant for SSCPS in this year has over 2K pcs. In last year, total applicant is only 700.

The school is good. However, the remote location restricts the # of applications.

I understood in so many parents hearts, SSCPS is not as comparable as to SPCCPS, DB/DG, most because of the academic results. ANyway, people thinking can't be changed easily and they tends to follow t ...

I agree with wootaitai. In general, local schools' students have to work harder....not only those 3 schools mentioned here. I have friends' kids in Sacred Heart, St. Joseph and LS, they all study really hard.
I personally know friends from SPCCPS, DGS and DBS. It's no doubt that there is heavy workload, but the kids there are all happy and love their schools. They are also given opportunities and explore different areas.
I agree also that SSCPS is a great school and it's a good balance between traditional local schools and international school. I really like the campus and the use of Mandarin and English as teaching medium.
Every school has its good points and weak points. It's just depends on your kid's character. I know a kid studying in SSCPS and he loves playing sports. He plays basketball, tennis and track and fields. He said because the workload is not that heavy, he can have more time to practice. So it's a suitable school for him. I don't doubt the fact that when it comes to applying for P1, all those 4 schools mentioned here are top choices.
