蘇浙 vs 柴灣聖米迦勒

stseng

Surely tuition fee $3000 is not cheap as some DSS only charge $2000 or less.  As such, I am struggling on the choices.  Some might think that it is quite stupid not to take the advantage of free education particular when 柴灣聖米迦勒 is already one of the most reputable primary schools in Eastern District.  As such, it is quite hard to decide whether it is worth the money to go to KCS.

我2場都有去,仲係最早坐個班,校長講野係好大體,大體得來有劍,要睇你睇唔睇到,佢講野個時,對眼view 緊d家長學生,話明坐唔定都唔會符合佢要求囉,,

你回復kochiman 的帖子, 人地vote for 柴米喎!  你到底在comment 蘇小還是柴米呀?

仲有, 你的comment有咩理據呀?講黎聽吓, 如果有根有據我地會尊重你的寶貴意見 ...

我係柴米家長, 大仔P4細仔出年都入學LA~
我當初揀佢係因為佢近屋企, 同埋我都有同其他學校D家長交流心得, 仲有去睇附近幾間小學既返/放學情況, 比較起來, 真係覺得柴米D學生好乖,
課程本人覺得5係太深可以接受, 不過真係要家長配合, 功課1定要跟下, 考試要同佢溫書, 5掂真係要搵補習, 5好諗住D課程可以淺到由得佢自動波
功課平均都係做1-2個鐘, 學校主張1人1體藝, 自己學校家教會搞既興趣班都算多元化(i.e.樂器, 球類, 畫班, 英文班, etc.)價錢平, 我年年都會俾阿仔報
P4開始分班, 1精英班, 學校5會話你入5到精英班就放棄你既,
1英文強化班, 1數學強化班, 分小班上英/數堂, 我大仔舊年英文差入左英文班, 今次第1次考試真係有進步
我當初都有諗過幫大仔報直資, 不過有細仔跟尾學費會好甘, 後尾大抽獎入到柴米真係安樂晒, D$留番黎補習報興趣班好過LA~~

I thought the top subsidized schools in Eastern District are 基灣（愛蝶灣), 基灣(西灣河), 柴灣聖米迦勒 and 北角衛理.  Am I correct?
I did not count DSS and Private schools when I made the comment.

按臻媽的評論，16網四所比較好的小學是新基灣，舊基灣，柴米和丘佐榮。
或者大家可以從另一個角度來比較。柴米是一流的免費小學，蘇浙卻不是一流的收費小學，要每個月多花那么多錢，值不值得呢？

By the way,who is 臻媽?

Solely my view:

蘇浙不是一流的收費小學 when one compare it with SPCCPS, SPC......etc
柴米不是一流的免費小學 when one compare it with Wah Yan, St Jo......etc.
However, both are good schools.

每個月多花那么多錢，值不值得呢？It depends how you view it - it saves you quite some money on Mandarin training for sure.  We are talking about speaking Mandarin in the school all day long every day.

Agree with your statement re 一流小學 .  Both KCS and 柴米 are above average schools for sure.
I think KCS outweight 柴米 in 2 key aspects only.  So, it is up to the parents to judge if it is worth of $3,100 per month.
Firstly, Mandarine environment, I trust you cannot train your children's Mandarine equivalently good as those KCS primary students with $3,100 outside.  Give you an example, the K2 kid of my friend (not from KCS) has joined a group Mandarine class for $180 an hour (once per week).  My friend thinks it is not enough, so, give the kid another 1-1 Mandarine class, which is $400 per hour (once per week).  So, only for 2 hours per week, she is spending $2,320 on her kid's Mandarine training, but the kid's mandarine ability is still not as good as those KCS K2 kids that I know.
Secondly, you are paying for the peer group.  I trust the overall quality of the students in KCS primary theorectically and generally speaking should be better than 柴米 as 柴米 is an aided school.  Aided schools cannot control the quality of the students they intake is an undeniable fact....this is why so many good aided schools changed or plan to change to DSS/private.
$3,100 means a lot to many families, so, judge it yourself if you are willing to spend it.  If not, 柴米 is definately a good choice.

Did you check St Michael's website? I can download the pdf a few years ago.

I searched through St. Michael's website but could not find it.  I simply want to compare it with that of KCS.  Could any of you help me (maybe parents of students at Chaiwan St. Michael)?

Yes, you are right, they removed the allocation results from the website.

Another alternative is go to North Point Methodist Primary School and check their allocation results. From my memory, if it doesn't let me down, their portfolio quite simlar to St Michael except the % of EMI of NPMPS (60-65%) > CWSMS (~55%).

不太明白如果 allocation portfolio are simliar, 點解一間係60-65%，而另一間係55%

況且，從北循的學校網頁看，emi 應是55%，而近年都未有見到柴米的官方升中資料

略略一睇，東區既學校，有將升中派位放上網，而又有65%以上，應該有愛碟灣基灣同滬江

From my memory (4-5 years ago), the school portfolio is similar means similar school mixed:

Girls: BPS, YWG, St Stephen Girls.....
Boys: QC, SPB, HKWY.....
Co-Educ: SPCC, CCSC, SKWGSS....

Different % means different numbers to those schools. As no updated info, just an alternative to assess CWSMS.

Other CWSMS parents pls confirm this......

The situation is quite similar to what I faced in last year - Kei Wan Vs SHC Private. Kei Wan is one of the best subsidized schools in Eastern District but I chose SHC at the end for its secondary school, reputation and students' quality. I think KCS is better in terms of academic results and a higher chance to get into top secondary school. To me, St Michael is just a school slightly above the average in Eastern District and not a reputable school in HK in general.
