I probably won't register tomorrow as I already registered SFA yesterday.

May I wish the students of St Jo all the best in the future

I've also got the offer of SJ.  However, my first choice is DBS/ YW, however, my son was not selected to the 2nd interview.  

However, anybody know that if there is any successful case that a boy can enter the DBS p.2 after studying p.1 in SJ?

hi all, 能否多分享對St Joe 的看法, include 校風, 程度以及中學派位情況....sorry arr..因實在找不到太多資料....thx so so much

dimmy

Thank you for TSL's info.
If you were given YW, would you still prefer it to SJ regardless of the non-EMI factor?  Why were you so confident of that, based on the experience of your friends's kids in YW?  I have not  comprised this issue with my another half yet. She trustS YW's English be okay, especially run under Ms Lam, the principal of YW.

dimmy,
my son is studying at the most 'pushy' kinder in Kln Tong... so that I think he could cope with the busy schedule in SFA.  No doubt, my hubby always has different opinion.

dimmy

2ling,
SFA is better than SJ. SFA is more 'push-style' school. Your kid may be more busy.
Being a holder of 15 marks, I don't think I can get the lucky draw on 24/11.
Though LS primary school is not a EMI one but its English standard should be higher than YW.

Good luck!

In comparing SFA and St Jo, I personally like SFA becoz of its higher English standard, however, my hubby is an old boy of St Jo, he definitely much more prefers the latter.

Belle,

Thanks a lot for your advice.  

I also like YW but I do worry about the English standard because it is not an EMI school as what SJ does. It is a bit confusing. SJ primary school is an EMI school but its secondary school is not, whereas YW primary school is not EMI but its secondary school is.
As said, your first choice  for your son was YW. Will you  worry  about YW's English standard and the recent performance of YW secondary school? Some parents on this forum also said that YW Secondary School's performance dropped a lot in comparison with that in the past.
Perhaps, I am not too nervous... YW hasn't released the result yet but I started to worry. I really have to face such decision if I get the offer from YW on 24/11, the same date for registration at SJ. Though I can pay the registration fee, I don't want to hold the seat because of my hesitation.  Someone should be on the waiting list of SJ.

I can't find the latest allocation result of TSL on her website. I can't find the school name including 'XXPO LING'. What is the full name? Thanks.

請問如何得知St. Jo升中比率，因為學校網址無提？St. Jo Secondary 是Band 1 尾band 2 頭的嗎？但為何上網search有d人話是Band 3的？因為本人最近才搬入觀塘區，對這區學校唔多熟悉呀

I got the acceptance letter from SJ too.
It is hard to make up my mind  before YW and TSL release the result on Monday after next.
Which one will you take if you are given the offer from YW, TSL and SJ?

Hi dimmy,

It's good for you and your son try RC in next year if you really target to RC.  But I trust you may not after you got a good primary school this year.  You may don't want to changed.

Before I also planning will call to YW every year for my son examin again.  But when I got a offer from RC and SFA then no this plan again.

St. Jo should be release the notification letter today (I saw from 小一選校).  May we will got the result on next Monday.  

My son also had 15 marks for "lucky draw" so same as you - close to zero.  My choice is 加士居道-循道.

Hope all can got a seat form your target school.  Cheers!

Hello FungMm,

Thanks for your message.

I got  a bit upset because I got a false expectation based on teacher's comments after the interview.  Also, I shouldn't have given my son a false prediction. ...
