1) St.Paul Boys vs Ying Wa
很需要各位的意見, 請給comment, 謝謝 !!
2) St.Paul Boys 現在的 banding 應巳反映了轉了直資之後, 小學生直昇上中學的表現. 但英華轉了直資之後的小學生直昇上中學的仍未到中五, 是否現在的banding 仍未反映轉了直資之後的成績呢 ? 各位, 這方面, any comment ?

英華自己收個班仔好似中一都未到，佢轉直資好似係4年(08年轉），宜家上個啲仲係派位上嘅，不過我勁buy林校長
，所以一定揀英華。
不過St.Paul boy都係好學校，收左先諗啦。
作者: tko-parent 時間: 11-11-29 18:48
兩間都好好！
Snoopy 校長出名，口才好，自然吸引到一大班 Fans。
其實 St Paul's Boys' 的陳校長也很好，做很多實務性的工作（我有朋友仔仔讀 St Paul's Boys'），教得小朋友好好！
看看你住那區吧！考慮交通等問題，留意，明年 St Paul's Boys' 要搬去近薄扶林那一邊。

同意, 同埋SPB 好似比 YW 傳統,
eg, YW 係 PHT 教中, SPB 好似唔係, 感覺是YW 比較會跟大潮流. 我個人是絕對喜歡YW多些.
YW 校長如果會轉, 我信不會很突然, 交接會有其安排, 我倒不會擔心, 只是睇1月時有冇幾會 second in.. 到底YW是很多男孩的dream school..

Oh! I like Principal Snoopy very much.
However, the school is a team and good teaching needs teamworking.
Good leadership is an essential issue but, there are areas other than the Principal that needs to be considered.

四年前小學先轉直資，即係仲未有轉直後既成果你都咁buy, 你果然係林校長既忠實fans!
如果地點不是考慮因素，我會揀SPB.

SP BOYS都收咗我個囝，由於佢新校舍同屋企超近(行都可以行到)，所以我同老公決定唔好再諗英華啦....唔需要花時間返學、放學，會多D時間使，唔好話用黎做功課、温書啦，玩的時間都多D.....所以我贊成揀屋企附近嗰間。
另外平心而論，其實2位校長好唔同，林校長一向予人SOCIAL的感覺，好會氹細路。至於陳校長俾我的感覺係要好有效率，廢話少講嗰種。不過，其實佢哋都係想D囝有BALANCE LIFE，林校長唔使講啦，搞好多活動俾D囝玩，而陳校長亦都好注重D囝要有"玩"的時間，唔係俾讀書、補習、興趣班塞實晒成個時間表。

SPB 2012年都係開3班啫，聽講話去咗新校舍本來想開4班，新校舍的課室數量亦係以4班黎起的，不過好以教署唔批(理據係仲有學校要縮班，冇理由俾你加。)。

So is 2013-2014 will still keepaccepting 96 students for P1, right?
If EDB not approve to add 1 class from 2013-14, then does it mean that 1 classroom redundant for each grade. So why EDB approve to build 4 classrooms each grade in the very beginning.
And I don't think the current 96 students will be divided into 4 class as more teachers need then.

You're so luck! Your son can be accepted by your dream school, & at the same time it's near your home.
SP Boys & YW are equally good. I didn't apply for SPB cos it's too far for me. One consideration of mine is the location of the school. It's got to be near my home. I imagine that my son & I would lose patience if everyday we'd spend 2 hours on transportation for 12 years!

作者: moubb 時間: 11-11-30 11:35
大家可以睇吓68期親子王，P.9，佢引述陳校長說:
新校舍可容納24班，即每級可從現時的3班增至4班，但由於現時仍有小學收生不足，故該校未獲教育署批准加班;但教育署承諾每年檢討，當適齡學童人口上升，可由現時18班增至24班。

另外，我D熱心街坊同我8倒，話SPB會喺2012年的聖誕先至會搬去新校舍。

moubb,
親子王入面校長話 "故該校未獲教育署批准加班" - 這句是否代表教育署不批准加多一班, 即多收一班32人,即不批准p.1今年收128人. 沒有說不批准照收96人,但分開4班喎 !! 你有無誤會呀?!

I think if they move during next year christmas, then it will be very messy as christmas holiday is not that long for relocating a school.
I think the best time to move would be during next summer holidays as there will be plenty of time.
But of course, if there is a serious project delay for building the school, then that is another school.
So have you heard that the completion of the new school be delayed or other reason?

都唔係特別有乜嘢唔鍾意，相反，我自己聽過佢嘅演講（響面試期間），尤其係讀小朋嘅來信，見到D小朋友由衷嘅內心世界及分享她對於男孩嘅教育理念時，甚為感動及欣賞。只不過當在第二次面試期間，當呆著等阿仔嘅時候，回想起見到D老師、主任及副校長，自己覺得其他人未必＂跟得切＂及擔心能否將校長嘅理念付諸落實到小孩子嘅身上..
如有YW嘅各位家長，請分享一下、感激萬分！

咁我又覺得好難去比較的, 因為HY始終咁耐, 好多野上晒軌道, 就算校長離開, 相信不太受影響...但YW唔同, 佢轉直資只係4年, 難免會有家長担心一旦校長離任, 對學校會有咩影響...

我覺得林校長似精神領袖，就好似任志剛在金管局，他的離開對整個運冇大影響，但就覺得遜色左，尤其同陳德林相比。

My son is studying YW P2. In fact, I live in HK island but I still think it is worth to travel to kowloon side.
The YW life is really very very happy. The kids do not feel any pressure at all. I will say, even the teacher will not give pressure to the parents. However, we all notice that most of the YW parents do have expectation to the kids. Also the acadamic level of some kids are really really high
Mrs Lam when she is free, she will go to the classroom to talk to the kid during recess.....and will greet the kids in the morning when they go to school
There are a lot of activities and school teams for the kid to participate....from Mon to Fri after school and even from 8 to 5 on Sat.
As Mrs Lam always said the boys are different than girl and they need to move all the time, starting from this acadamic year, the PE lessons have been increased from 2 to 3 per weeks. The boys are so so happy.
Overall, the boys at YW are active. Few years ago, I did attend interview at St Paul where I notice most of the boys are relatively "quiet". Not sure if my observation is still valid or not.
Let me know if there are any other things you want to know.

So, does your son travel to school by nanny bus and by how long?
Is it 100% for P6 student to YW secondary?
Is it YW primary a chinese or english school?
Do you know if the vice-principal take up Snoopy principal job if she retire. And do you think any impact if she retire from YW?
Thanks
作者: mamay 時間: 11-12-2 10:29
So, does your son travel to school by nanny bus and by how long?
- we, the YW parents living in HK island arrange the nanny bus by ourself......now we got more and more boys living in HK island....that demand > supply : )
- depends on your location.......20 mins to 1 hour
Is it 100% for P6 student to YW secondary?
- if you got pass in Chi, Eng and Math....yes, 100% go to secondary.....that's why it called "one-dragon school)
Is it YW primary a chinese or english school?
- Chinese.......but the english level is high.......around 10% eng math at P1 and will gradually increase.......test and exam has "eng math" as well.....P2 start teaching Eng poem.......I can see that some P3 boys can write Eng poem very well
Do you know if the vice-principal take up ...
- Honestly we as YW parents, do worry that Mrs Lam will retire...however, she is still so passionate....I don't think she will retire soon.....at least not the coming few years.........

自已可能主觀咗D,尤其是看到很多YW嘅家長意見後。兩位校長各有不同的風格，一個和藹可親、一個友善But"嚴＂及講efficiency,各有各好。
本人與樓主情況差唔多，之前並無小朋友在呢兩間小學就讀，與及Paul Boys收咗和YW正等消息。不過，唔知點解自已綜合各方意見後，就好鍾意Paul Boys,至於YW,唔會諗Lu..

都幾得意,講講下似乎就只係比較校長,其實仲有好多,例如教學方針,活動...好多野可以比較既喎.
我自己來講,就覺得SPB係傳統既,YW就冇咁傳統,會有好多活動既.所以靜既小朋友,可能會鐘意SPB多D,活既就會鐘意YW啦.
我係YW家長,校長個人係點,我就唔多理既.但聽佢既演講,的確學到好多野.而囝囝又的確讀得好開心.
不過如果真係住得太遠既,除非搬啫,咪真係揀間近既好D啦.好多活動有機會要留校既,返到屋企真係有可能好夜.

But I think it is not such clear cut for tratitional teaching Vs active -based teaching.
For instance, if a student in SPB is requested to do a project that searching information from the Internet and then present that I think it is quite common, then is SPB become active based.
Whereas a student in HKUGA requested to have dictation and recital for some text script, then is HKUGA becoming traditional based teaching?

其實而家就算傳統名校都一定用多左互動強些的活動教法, 少左我們小時單向授課式重背默操的模式, 但比起新派的直資如 CKY, HKUGA, GT等, 傳統學校用在互動教學的時間可能是 1:4 (?)

YW offers a lot of classes (non-acadamic) after school for us to choose e.g. bedmintin, musical instructment...etc. I will try to avoid / minimize choosing those fall between Mon to Fri. Of course, if you son has entered the school team, you need to attend the class and arrange self pick up (unless you withdraw from the team). I grouped all the activities on Sat.....

--> I don't think so.......but the kids are keen to be selected as the member of school team.......
Is there any scholarship from YW if the academic result like 全級十名以內

althought we haven't receive the result yet from YW...but after going for the first inteview for both of these schools. We felt that YW were stressing and examining the academic abilities of its applicants way much more than SPB. YW, they really test and ask rather difficult questions in all chinese, english and math... so it';s more well-rounded, whereas, hello...for SPB, the kids were asked to tell the same stupid story one by one, 18of them, 18 times repeating the same stupid story, after the teacher said it once....wow, how enlightening...really eye-opening...!!! and repeating that same stupid story was the main interview..!!?? errr. there is another part, which is lego, wow ....what else could you ask for, huh??? ...but honestly, 18 kids in a round and it lasted for like 15mins....I am sure they can see soooo much, I am sure they can tell who is the best within that 15 mins time frame with 18 kids , each repeating the same stupid story. !!! LMAO .... consider yourself lucky if u got in to SPB...but honestly, even if we didn't get an offer from YW, I still think that they choose its P1 students in a more sensible and selective manners with all the respect. So which is better, we are not blind...it's quite obvious....This is merely my honest opinion from my own observation after the 1st round of interview.... .

請問spb你第一次面試參加左邊個session有十八人？好似每一㳄 都得六個學生在課室面試，請不要誤導。
作者: wallpaper... 時間: 11-12-19 17:16
no, i wanna ask you, which session were you in , with only the count of 6 kids in a group...
作者: wallpaper... 時間: 11-12-19 18:25
Would u like me to spell it out for you. Let me clarify that my main point there is: from my very own observation, YW is rather more serious in terms of examining the academic ability of its applicant over SPB's brief interview settings. Period.

Would you mind telling me whether you got the offer from SPB ?I believe only 6 person in a group of each interview session during the first in.
Would you mind sharing which session your son attended with 18 person?

如 topic 所題，Wallpaper 只係講佢嘅觀點啫，佢亦有道理，有冇必要串人？係咪要個個讚 SPB 好才是中肯？

對,佢亦要佢道理. SPB的面試的確好像不太重學術, 但這亦反映他們不會為保學校名聲或學校可以省力而先挑選這類學生(或家庭), 收生較寛鬆但要保持相當水平, 學校便要更用心培育教導, 這反而是我欣賞的.
不同人不同取態, 甲之熊掌乙之砒霜...多點討論多點資料讓大家自由取捨總是好的.

如果有去DBS interview 就知道，吾同組吾同題目，我小朋友嗰組叫畫，講兩幅畫，跟住答條簡單常識題，全中文，冇英數題，跟住睇完video就叫走，結果冇second in ，如果好似樓上講法，DBS就系stupid stupid stupid school，因為冇考academic 就reject 左佢。但我冇錦想，第一，玩得考小學遊戲，機本上要識得尊重人地學校，吾考咁多academic可能想考你小朋友manner，禮貌，反應，可能你小朋友academic好但品行差，EQ差，也不是學校杯茶。第二，樓上似乎只是base on SPB 第一次面試的經歷就話人地考小學的interview setup好stupid，似乎又吾知人地second interview 問乜就話人地stupid，系咪過於武斷？如果英華第三次interview(假如你有的話）祇問你簡單問題，吾通你又話人stupid。我的重點是，不同學校focus不同重點考不同題目，如果那麼基本都不理解，不曉得尊重，錦索性吾好去考小學，等大抽獎。

SPB first interview 係考小朋友禮貌, 專注, 表達能力等等. 每間學校都有自己一套選小朋友的方法. 雖然SPB first interview好似好簡單, 其實都可以睇到小朋友好多嘢! second interview更加係無得train, 好公平, 好透明, 家長完全知道小朋友的表現!

Actually, SPB has 160 yr history. During these 160 yr, there are some good/bad graduates, and I am for sure some acadmeic good, some academic bad, some manner good, some manner bad. And the school managment has a clear selection process and criteria.
In fact, SPB would still like to select boys with "Good manner, politeness and good EQ" rather than "academic good only " should have his own reason, SPB don't want to select so called "HK type children" that is difficult to teacher (maybe the children is very very smart).
In fact, some people think academic is everything. I would respect on it as that's your view. But if other people/school would think "Manner, Politeness" is more important, then you should also learn to respect instead of saying, insulting others "Stupid". And I firmly believe that what kind of parents have what kind of children.

Talking about DBS interview, I think that they had a target group of candidates. 
They included 1. alumni/connected, 2. super-rich people who might donate tons of money (I know it because my friend suggested me not to apply for DBS unless I could buy its bonds or something. His boss donated tons of money to the school.), 3. privileged class, 4. applicants from famous kindergarten, and 5. candidates who could demonstrate very exceptionally talents like the Olympics game players or talking like a president. For points 4 & 5, DBS would only take a look at very limited number of boys. The rest, like most of us, were just there to 陪跑. A relative of mine has son & daughter go to DBSPD & DGJS resp., but they applied when there were not so many applicants like nowadays. However, in interview like this, DBS would surely miss out some talent like Steve Jobs, who was treated like an orphan when he was small. This kind of talent might contribute back to school tremendously in terms of reputation & donation in the long run. But would the admission officers care about the long run? Of course not; they cared how much you could contribute at the spot.
I have these insights not due to sour grape since this is only my 2nd choice compared to YW, which treats parents & applicants w/more respect. My son is good at both academic & manners because I have nurtured him full-time since he was born. My husband & I are U-grad. Since we have only one breadwinner, we send my son to a gov't sponsored non-famous kinder. Supposed my son would have an Eng. interview at DBS, but they spoke Cantonese to him. Also, they just asked him 1 very short question. Unless they had God's eyes, otherwise, how could they see the boys? So they had a target group of candidates in mind.

雖然小朋友入吾到DBS，但問心無愧，一切隨緣，個天吾俾你入，一定有原因，入到如讀吾上仲慘，所以spcc同dbs祇是平常心看待。

YW will soon publish the list for final interview and hope you have good result.
But in fact, as parents of YW is not easy, as almost the first DSS school for interview but almost the last school for announcing the result. It's not only test the children ability but also parents' patience.
作者: TheWiseMom 時間: 11-12-20 15:16
I sought my relative's advice regarding DBS's interview. She said that Eng. interview would have advantage. I guess the rules have changed due to the huge no. of applicants & the increasing level of applicants' Eng. After going through the last several months, I've come to realize that DBS isn't my cup of tea.
Thanks, Ving. I wish I could get YW's 2nd in. I can't change my financial/social status, but being patient & full academic support for my son will be absolutely no problem for me.
