St.Paul Boys vs Ying Wa

但又奇怪，有些選校天書話spb教學模式糸"活動教學＂，此話當真？

Era

我聽過一個笑話,講明先,完全唔係指SPB呀.有人話有間學校,將D檯放到小組咁形式,其他野不變,跟住就去同人地講話自己係活動教學.

sytw

SPB應該係傳統教學的，d天書可能攪錯了

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?

我都覺得好難界定那一間是活動或傳統教學。

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 (?)

如果兩間差不多又鍾意, 就應該揀近屋企, 話晒小學+中學 12年, 宜家d 學生好忙分分鐘星期一至五或六都有留校課外活動. 細個有家長接送, 中學真係會朝7晚7先番到屋企. ...

I do agree with you.  
YW do have a lot of activities.....since I am living in HK island, we did not join those activities.

I still have a younger boy, if he got accepted by both schools few year later, it will be a touch decision.  .......
St Paul is a good school and closer to home........it can save a lot of travelling time......

Even I am the YW parent, I may pick St Paul Boys......

Hi Mamay,

You said that you don't join the school activities. Is it because of school bus service arrangement after those activities or other issues?

And if don't join any of those activities, will there be any impact. By the way, how long you need to travel to school for one way?

ASamSam

I do not know whether St Paul Boys has similar variety of activities after school as Ying Wa has

Can any parent advise?

Thanks a lot.

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.....

The travelling time is 1 hour for me.

Ving

So u need to go to school on Sat for those ECA, isn't it?

But is it useful for 升班，加分 to join ECA

Is there any scholarship from YW if the academic result like 全級十名以內

mamay

So u need to go to school on Sat for those ECA, isn't it?
--> yes, from 11 am to 3:45pm as he has joined 2 x ECA and 1 school team


But is it useful for 升班，加分 to join ECA
--> 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
--> I don't know as my son is not 全級十名以內 (just kidding)........Per the website, students can apply for subsidy.....but I guess they need to have good acadamic result, too......u may check their website for details.

Ving

Your son seems so busy to go school from Mon to Sat. He should be enjoy or else he feel tire

It's good to have ECA in school on Saturday.
However, is it common for Ying Wa boys to attend tutorial classes elsewhere?

Ving

So Mamay, are u spending 12hrs per week for travel to school

初初我都覺得snoopy校長好好，不過在第二次面試後，真係對佢有D改觀..

按道理, 第二次面試家長根本無機會見到林校長架?

My son is studying YW P2.  In fact, I live in HK island but I still think it is worth to travel to k ...

從兩次interview 時觀察所得, 雖然係晨甘早8點幾要返到學校參加活動, 但所見每一個英華仔都係充滿喜樂, 可想而之佢地對英華有幾甘熱愛.......

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.... .
