後上新貴 vs 老牌學校, 男女校 vs 男校

Both schools are good.   

I prefer SPC because it is a boys' school.   Usually, boys develop their learning potential later than girls.  After the same tier ruling for primary students, and in general, nowadays more girls can win the S1 intakes for band 1 schools,  same in DSS schools.  In some extreme cases, even male WC was converted into female ones to carter for the increasing numbers of girls.   Good boys' schools can provide, in theory, custom built education for young men.

The link below is the web-site of the International Boys' Schools Coalition.  DBS, La Salle, Tak Sun, SPC and two Wah Yans are her members.  You can find more interesting discussions there.

Happy reading.

其實要好視乎你小朋友level, St Paul 固然好d，不過如果你小朋友入到St Paul跟唔到都賺搞 ...

If both schools are of same caliber, I would choose co-edu school rather than boys school.  I think co-edu system is better than boys school for a child’s social development.  Unfortunately, most top notch traditional schools are not co-edu schools in HK.

When comparing SPC with other traditional schools, I don’t think SPC’s teaching curriculum is difficult to follow. Unlike other traditonal schools, there is no need for SPC boys to attend extra private tuition.

(i) SPC’s exams papers are written according to the EDB curriculum what the teachers have daily taught. Before the exam, there are many mini-tests.

(ii) Students and parents can access to the intranet whereas there are homework, test schedule and past exams papers with solutions of some subjects like Maths, Computer, IS etc.  Students can practise nearly ten years’ Maths past exam papers beforehand.

I think SPC has excellent funding. Students joining ECAs like fencing, hockey, Chinese writing etc can be reimbursed nearly 80% of the fees upon satisfactory attendance rate.

If you target your child to study abroad, SPC paves the way to equip their students.  SPC has GCSE Spanish and French courses which are taught for 3.5 hours every Saturday and is a member of International Boys Schools Coalition.

I understand many headmasters of elite UK boarding schools would have no hesitation to admit SPC boys.

In days a hundred or two years ago, most schools were ran by the church who had a strong inclination for single sexed schools.  Those remain become top notch traditional schools nowadays.  There is nothing any younger DSS can compare, in terms if fame and heritage. However , when time is given,there should be no hinder for these younger ones to establish their successful paths in the future,when promising track records are set.

If you browse wiki website, the coverage of many pages of SPC in Wikipedia even surpasses other traditional famous secondary schools in HK.

Given your son's strong academic results and good English and Maths, I would strongly suggest you try St. Paul's Co-ed and DBS.  These are for top of tops.

Hazen爸爸

我只是想問一吓如有家長能了解多一些聖保羅和滙基這兩學校, 可否給我多一些資料幫我作決抽擇, 現已二月才suggest我去St. Paul's Co-ed and DBS可怕已為時已晚了, 謝謝各位

從某些阿Q式的觀點角度看，滙基&SPC不比 Co-Ed & DBS 差太遠。

有時候，最重要是否幫助到小朋友，好好利用到不同學校的特別優勢。

In terms of academic performance last year, here are some figures of destination of DSE students of the above schools:

SPCC: 81% local university offers
DBS: 50% local university offers, ~13% assoicate degree offers
SPC: 49% local university offers, 12% associate degree offers

I think SPCC is still the top of tops school with 80% JUPAS offers of HKU, CU, HKUST and 19 offers of medicine programmes.

In terms of music and sports awards, DBS may be the best of best which is never settled for the less for over 140 years.

I have a friend's daughter with SPCC. She is among the top students there. The mother once said," there are dozens of doctors and lawyers produced in every school year, it is a matter whether you will be the next Aung San Suu Kyi for the era!" That's the expectation of the school/parents and now I know it is true! A 81% figure with 19 medicine offers are indeed impressive!

CPU1995

Aung San Suu Kyi is graduated from Oxford followed by M.Phil in Burmese literature in University of London.

This is not a diffiuclt academic path for a brilliant SPCC girl.

Sorry to side track Hazen爸爸，just one last note.  The excellence of SPCC might be due to the effort of the school, but it could as well be the results of selecting the finest budding seeds beforehand.

CPU1995

I remembered that there were 21 SPC boys out of a single class admitted to medicine programme in 1987.  These were good old days of SPC.
