My boy will promote to P.6 in Sept, the schools are within our net (Other districts), but I know nothing about the schools, would you please help? What are their banding? I'd wish to know as much as I can...thanks a lot!     

grawong

除了維官是band 2中or尾外, 其他都是band 3

Agreed.  Although 維官是band 2中or尾,  but 維官校風is not good.  

I wonder that these schools are in different district, in fact,  they are in faraway (kwaichung, saiwan, aberdeen and wanchai) , do you consider district? Or just for information?

Hellomummy

Thanks all for your information!    

grawong:

We live in Tung Chung, the schools here are too new so we don't prefer to choose them, I think we most likely need to "lock the door" for our favourite school at the end! And, according to this site here the captioned schools are within our net (from other district). Though I don't have info. how many seats they provide to our district. After scanning them one by one, the stated schools match my requirement, cos we want to choose a band 2 to band 1 中中 for my son. My husband and me prefer schools at HK side, I think the 校風 would be better even of the same banding with Kowloon, NT, Lantau Island.

What do you all think?  

Can you recommend any band 2 中中 at HK side? Better Central, Wanchai, Sheung Wan, I think the farest we can go is Causeway Bay...Thanks!   

Hellomummy

Is it real that 陳南昌 is band 3?!  

I only know that they frequently promote themselves as "highly upgraded schools" in the past years as regconizied under some government scheme.

離島區好似被人遺棄咁，要選好學校不易...就算他區有學位提供，數量都係三五七個！(點同人爭？)
不如集中火力選區內新學校，新校創校理念比較清晰，校風會比較嚴格！

Dear Hellomummy ,

Nice to meet you.

Is it real that 陳南昌 is band 3?!

Sure.  Some bottom 10% of band 3 students were allocated to 陳南昌.  

不如集中火力選區內新學校，新校創校理念比較清晰，校風會比較嚴格！

Agree with 007. Even in HK Island, there are many bad school.  Except academic results,  extra-curricular activities are important. If the schools are too faraway,  children school life will be reduced.  Futhermore,  many schools in Hk island are in the hill,  the traffic is not convinient.

Have you considered  YMCA Kei Shun College? (In Tung Chung,  DSS......about $1,500+/ per month, hearsay there are many native teachers here and the principal is Ms Chan lo sin,  ex-principal of St. Mark College )The other DSS you can consider is Christian Tsung Tsin school which in Shamshuipo (Near Nam Cheong Station. )

The following schools in Kwai Chung and Tsuen Wan are Band 1 to 2 中中,  校風good, parents' comment are good:
CCC Chuen  yuen college.....Kwai Chung,  TWGHs Mrs Wu York Yu Memorial College,.....Kwai Chung
PLK Lee Shing Pik College......Tsuen Wan
AD and FD POH Leung ling tak college......Tsuen Wan
St. Francis Xavier's school......Tsuen Wan

Band 2 to band 3:(mainly band 2)
Carmel Alison Lam Foundation Secondary School.,.....Kwai Chung
Lok Sin tong Ku Chiu Man secondary school......Kwai Chung

Hellomummy

Thanks 櫺囹桼 & grawong very much for your information!

Special thanks to grawong for giving me so many recommendations, I will study the listed schools one by one....so much homework to do oh!  

Hellomummy

so disappointed 陳南昌 is band 3, its location is very convenient to me oh!  

Hellomummy

I have considered YMCA before and went to their opening day. I think It's really a good school but we should stop thinking about English school in the meantime. Instead, I prefer a Chinese teaching school with English teaching starting F.4 for my son, in order to build up his confidence first in all subjects and overall performance in the first 3 years.

Exactly feeling with "離島區好似被人遺棄咁"!

So bad our district has only 7 schools, including 2 DSS, and due to religious reasons, we have only 4 choices (including one DSS, ie YMCA, which is actually not our choice!)

Hellomummy ,

Hello.  

If your son is between band 1 to 2,  and you would like to build up your son's confidence,  I would like to recommend Christian Tsung Tsin Secondary School.....DSS,  in shamshuipo,  near nam cheong station.  Maybe you have make decision that you will not consider EMI school.  I 've just give you information for your reference:

Some of my friends told me the teachers in this school are full of love and can help students build up their confidence.  I knew 2 examples:

1..A F.1 girl is weak .......even surprise in Mathematics in Primary school,  after  she promoted to CTT,  her maths result become more and more better. And she love school very much.

2. A F.2 boy was smart(both of academic and extra-curricular activities) in primary school.  He was allocated to a famous school but his result and confidence become more and more worse.  He told his mother however he try his best,  he could not get the good result because  his classmates were too smart.  He transferred to CTT at last.  His confidence build up again and result is become better and better.  

You can consider this school.

Besides, I've forgotten to recommend schools in HK island,  I can just recommend you 2:
1.  北角顯理中學.....mainly band 2 >>>>>>in city garden,  near Fortress hill MTR .
2.  Buddhist wong fung ling secondary school. ......mainly band 2>>>>>>in causeway bay,  far from MTR.  

At last,  you can collect your son's primary allocation results in the past years.  That's very useful for you to find your target school.

Many homework to do.  That's my experience this year.However,  try your best, that's OK.  Don't put more pressure to yourself.  

Congratulations!

Hellomummy

grawong,

thank you very much!

It really sounds good for Christian Tsung Tsin Academy, how is it comparing with the following, which are also DSS in Shamshuipo? Which are more welcomed by parents and more difficult to enter?

HKMA David Lee Kwok Po College
Wai Kiu College
China Holiness College?
