你好 lucky.

今年聖心好多 K3 小朋友仲系 waiting list, 我朋友個女都等緊個位， 希望你可以早些下決定。

我親戚個女，幾年前聖心幼稚園升到小學部，但因為她比較硬頸， 同當時即老師唔夾。 之后考了兩年，終於 P3 插班入Mary Mount。

Mary Mount 相比之下 relax d, 家長 & 小朋友都開心左。

p.s. 兩家都是 top 女校，我舉親戚個例子只系想樓主可以根據自己個女即性格選校。

Here's a comparison:

聖心私小:
(1) Chinese as medium;
(2) Historically workload is higher;
(3) Half day school so there are more time available in the afternoon;
(4) Being private so the curriculum can be better controlled by the teachers (but need to pay school fees);
(5) There are still Sisters in the school to support moral education (including principal);
(6) SHCC (secondary section) has 90% seats held for own primary students (need to compete with the gov't aided pm section, but in general private section has higher banding scale), so band 1 students are safe while even many band 2 students will have chances (by luck);
(7) SHCC has 6 classes per year;
(8) With a tougher curriculum, band 3 rate is less than 5%.

Marymount Primary:
(1) English as medium;
(2) Historically workload is more relax compare to SHCSPS;
(3) Whole day school;
(4) Gov't aided schools (no school fees);
(5) It's a Catholic school but even supervisor is not a Sister anymore (correct me if I am wrong);
(6) MSS only held approximately 55-60% of seats (85% of seats after discretionary 30% and few repeater seats), which should be enough for own band 1 students.  Need to note MPS students are rarely accepted thru discretionary (Technically as parents or students you can't tell the students are accepted in which stage, but can tell the overall picture based on allocation percentage);
(7) MSS has 4 classes per year;
(8) With a more relax approach and gov't aided nature, band 3 rate can be slightly higher.

Basically few points to consider:
(1) The environment you desire and suitable for the girls;
(2) The path to secondary school due to different acceptance policy of their secondary section and different school districts for S1 allocation

btw, one more point to note.  MPS is under pressure from MSS where the quality of students entering MSS has become an issue.  So whether in the coming years they can continue to use the more relax approach, that will become something that need to watch and monitor.  The key point is the language policy for Hong Kong Secondary to maintain English as medium of instructions, which will give pressure to students being admitted who need to maintain a higher standard.

Hope this help!

iantsang版主說得很詳細,瑪利曼小學雖然教學較輕鬆,但因為祇有Band1才能升上直屬中學(特異功能的Band2除外),所以同學之間的競爭比聖心較大.
