Just wanna share a fact.  Nowadays, at least 20% of top students of any primary schools would head elsewhere.  This is thanks to the generous S1 allocation method invented by the EDB.  So, it just happens anywhere.

主要是St Clare Top 20都去了女英華、St Paul等。小學而言聽說是很好的，特別是英文train up得十分好，而且中文課也是普通話授課。

Hahaha...dont you know that you have so many fans!!!
Ian, I have one more concern, there's many parents concerning about the english and PTH statement @ SH as compare with KG, it seems to me that we have to do extra work if we want to improve child's english / PTH standard. Can you please kindly share your experience with us?
P.S. about the standard, i.e. as compare with Kentville or those private one

好同意你嘅說話，家下競爭太大，一條龍穩陣好多！真係唔想幾年就煩一次！又唔想push阿女太辛苦！

SH has private and gov't aided section.  There are certainly some differences but to make an apple to apple comparison, I guess we just focus on private section for now.

St. Clare's is EMI and I think many parents are thrilled with this.  Totally respect this as different people would have different priority of preferences.

SHCSPS is CMI, with Science being taught in English from P3 to P6 (if I remember correctly).  Personally I prefer CMI, since Chinese is more difficult to learn and you have plenty of opportunities to learn English.... I guess I better stop giving personal comments!

Anyway, what I wanna say is nowadays there are really not that many subjects in primary school, so whether a school is a CMI or EMI......there are not much differences.  For how I see it, I am Chinese who speaks Cantonese daily in our daily life.  So unless there are some special needs for some families which plan for a different lifestyle, then I still prefer CMI primary schools.  (Sorry personal preference again!)  More to add, SHCSPS teaches one level advance of English (starts P2 in P1) and half year advance of math (finish mid term P2 in P1).

Key difference: SHCSPS has a low band 3 students rate compare to St. Clare's.  For my understanding of the history of private primary schools in HK, this is how I would make the differentiation.

Let me take this opportiunity to supplement more information for parents to know.  Seems not fair to other parents in BK but no ones ever ask me in my one-dragon thread!  I guess this is their lost!

I guess I am more knowledgeable in this area as compare to myself when I put up the one-dragon thread, since I volunteered much of my time for education related matters in the past 2 years.

This is why the one-dragon promise cannot be made for SH.  There are less seats in private section compare to the kindergarten population in ANY YEARS.  In the past few years with the low birth rate, children have a greater chances to earn a seat thru EDB allocation (both discretioinary and central allocation) from other good gov't or gov't aided primary schools.  The result is, less parents will pay for private schools so spaces in private schools are enough to cover the remaining students.

However, as birth rate increases, everything you heard from the past few years will change.  The chance to gain a seat thru EDB allocation will become more and more competitive.  Any parents are smart and they will opt for safer routes to private schools.  The reality is the maximum number of seats are quite fixed, then with the sudden increase of applicants, no schools can promise they can take in all students.  The only popular school I know which can do that, is Pui Ching which match the exact number of students in kindergarten with primary.  (So I should regret now of giving them up!)

Anyway, other girls' schools True Light which always guarantee admission to P1 and St. Clare's which started to make such promises recently, is only because they haven't reached the threshold that the number of kindergarten students will exceed their primary vancancy only.  By the time things started to change and more and more students would rather choose to return, then even thry promise you now, the reality is they cannot take in all students.  For what I know, Sacred Heart and True Light should be at max capacity already while St. Clare's may have some spare classrooms which they have not fully utilized yet.  So, if the 100% secure is so important, then I would suggest parents to select St. Clare's, until they also consumed those spare classrooms.  Of course, Pui Ching is the number one choice if 100% guarantee is the main concern.

Hope this piece of information help the parents to understand more for their decision.

haha, you are just as anxious as I was two years ago.

We are lucky that the class assignment were given to us along with the acceptance letter 2 years ago.  However, they have changed to make the assignment much later since last year.  I guess it would be given to you around late June when the uniforms need to be ordered.
