SC 新校學費好貴，媽咪入來談談

薯仔1607

哇，新校每月學費要4800 , 茶點每日自備，全年什費1XXX多，而且是英粵班，都不知如何決定，各媽咪有什麼意見？

Did they write that their price is "Not more than" $48,000 per year?

In that case, I think they won't "really" / "finally" charge $4,800 per month?  They just want you to be prepared that this school is more expensive than the Kowloon Tong one, and when you receive the final number later you would feel better and therefore more willing to join the school? my guess only....

on top, we should also consider charges for school bus or 保母車 unless you live in Hung Hom.  Apart from school bus or 保母車, there seems not much choice for public transport

Is it feasible to have a visit before making decision?  It's fair to parents.  If not, the parents would take the risk for this unclear arrangement.

For the expensive school fee, it seems that SC is testing the parents' feedback.  The more the students, the less the school fee.

佢話要幾貴, 都會比個女讀SC, 因為只得佢有offer比我個女........

SC 快要變成YORK,大把學位,有錢就入到,其實都有好多家長BUY YORK,起碼間學校在KLN TONG,校舍又大又新,課程又深,但唔洗搶都入到,試想想幾年後到小朋友K3畢業,SC已經變得平平無奇,試問俾得起碼$4800一個月同入YORK又有什麼分別?反而KV就愈來愈難入,學位難求,愈是多人報又收得好小人的學校,就愈出眾.  如果今時今日有POST要SC VS KV,KM,YORK ETC, SC已經不是考慮之列,因為過多幾年後,他們的上P1的LIST一定會退步.  不過如果沒有更好的OFFER,SC都還算是"名校",只是物價上漲,大家量力而為,因為比起有學卷的是7,8倍的學費

I think sc is testing the water also but bear in mind its not an non-profit school, if the demand is there, why wouldnt they charge 48k or close to that?

Just rec'd the call from St Cat and they offered my kid a PM class and mentioned that there will be no school bus service for Hung Hom campus.

I just rejected the offer right away as it really has the logistic problem.

Hope ppl who are interested in this school may may receive this offer soon.

twinsstar1

How do the school allocate students to the new and old campus???
Different fees in different campus?

vc000

真係無校車服務？
咁我都唔想俾個女讀喇~我唔想讓個女去坐街車，感覺好唔安全又無保障。

goodluck97

Difficult to take this offer except living in Hung Hom.  SC should at least inform parents that they will have a new campus during application period last year.

Bad and rush on new campus arrangement, hope it's not consistent to her daily internal activity.

真係如你所講，SC今次安排的好rush、好差！新校舍連見都無見過，得英粵班但係學費又貴過九龍塘、更加無校車服務，咁樣既安排叫家長點放心俾小朋友去讀？經過今次事件，對SC真係扣分唔少~

newmommy

Just my comment: The arrangement seems so "un" St Catherine's style, because so far, my feeling in the last 2 years is that their admin is very clear, polite, and effective. This new campus ordeal sounds very secretive and strange to us current parents.

I am quite surprised to hear that they have no school bus at all.

And FYI, (I don't know the exact K1 fee next year), but I heard from the class teacher than on average the Hung Hom campus is $1000 more per month than Kowloon Tong. (Others parents, please verify). But to me, that is very very high, considering SC is also charging higher fees than other famous kindy.

melodyc111

yes, it's quite high for the school fee.  
at least, they hv to adv when apply, not now.
of course, at their view, you can choose not take the seat.  bcs this is the extra seat.
frankly, little bit disappointed although they increase the class

希望小朋友能打好英文基礎, SC 新校的pm英粵班( 學費貴+ 無校車)與 九龍塘樂基中英文班, 如何選擇?
那一間英文程度較好?

比比媽咪

新校舍是否能在9月開到呢? 有點擔心
