想請教你意見,假如HKUGA收你小朋友, 你會否接受?因我見你對有相同教學理念既救恩有極高評價只因為救恩無一條龍中學而令你卻步,但HKUGA沒此煩惱,可否在此分享一吓, 各下對港同既睇法,謝謝!

You have received offers from them already?

These two schools are the opposite of the spectrum - RC is very traditional and HKUGA is activity-based.  If your child is active, HKUGA may be more suitab ...

It makes me curious what they talk about...issues related to the recent audit report?

我以前都以為我女間學校, 係等埋一LOT, 7,8月至CALL, 方便學校行政, 難為D家長等到發霉
而家讀左幾年, 又有同學校D職員8, 至知原來真係無位! (雖然有D都估佢最後唔黎, 但佢一日唔放, 學校都唔可以收生)
希望D家長CONSIDERATE一D啦!

Oh?  Why don't they call candidates on waiting list knowing how many have given up their places after registration? Why do they wait so long to call?

Maybe they want to wait until the lucky draw resu ...

First, thank you for your attention given to my posts.

"HKUGA收你小朋友, 你會否接受"
It depends on whether I have offers on hand and which schools are involved.  Assuming I have choices, my son is of a rather quiet and disciplined type, so HKUGA may not be very suitable for him (he might be lost choosing the right activities for himself when he is given too much freedom).  Also, even though Kau Yan and HKUGA are both activity-based, Kau Yan pays more attention to academic subjects and their students seem to be more caring and enthusiastic than HKUGA.

I also have sources of info from parents who have elder children studying in both schools.  The conduct of HKUGA's students seems to be not as good as Kau Yan's.

I should declare that I received the rejection letter of HKUGA a long time ago, well before its 2nd interview started. :)

Anyway, this is a little off-topic as the title of this thread is "RC vs HKUGA" and KY should be out of the picture. :)

點解佢地 唔 consider 一下 waiting list 既人 都好心急在等 call ?
其他學校 都係 用 waiting list 去補位 而唔係 用 正取生 補位?!

artroboy

我諗佢地有哂統計既..... and 私校好似無太大限制班房人數問題...掛..

I don't think RC should take the risk of over-acceptance, if they are prepared to call wait-list candidates in June.  I do think they have a long waiting list though.  It's hard to estimate the drop-out rate anyway.

With more children this year, its places can be filled more easily than last year.

thomasha

It reminds me of something - RC does not allow candidates to take part in the lucky draw or their offers will be cancelled.  I don't see why it needs to wait until the lucky draw results are announced in June, because offers made to these candidates would have been cancelled already when they take part in the lucky draw, and they would not be "called back" to accept an offer from RC.

milkonline2, did the school tell you they would only start contacting wait-list candidates in June?  It may be true, but it does not make much sense to me.

暫時我知有幾間學校都有超收正取生,其中一間我女是WAITING LIST,我打電話問學校,聽電話既員工承認有超收正取生,所以現階段唔會CALL 後備生,叫我明年六月後再打電話去問.

thomasha

Maybe the principal is confident about the drop-out rate so he doesn't mind over-offering.  Besides, it doesn't reduce (or even increase unnecessarily) the workload of the school's admin staff in preparing offer letters, and they have to be careful in considering the excess offers they make.

RC does not mind bigger classes though, so even if all the offers are accepted, they can simply enlarge the number of students per class. :)
