Dear GraceChung,

Do you think YW is good enough for you kid? Will the kid find it difficult to handle their HW?
Thx for sharing. Someone said YW is ok, but others said there was a turnover of teacher, is it right?

好高興聽到英華的家長回應！
這裏實在太少英華的家長。
英小歷史短，真的希望聽到更多advise!
本人正在考慮此校，喜歡校長所說的活動式傳统教學。
地點校車亦是一個問題，有冇香港區的英華學生？

無可否定，選st paul比較穩陣。
但英華是否比不上st paul?

真奇怪？！見有些留言嫌英華程度淺，又有些嫌深，唔明點解評語咁極端？

我唔清楚清況，因我只是小一，開學未夠一個學期。我個人頗滿意小一的安排，尤其語文科的教學，見學校選用上課用的英文故事書都相當有水準。

中文科普通話教學，我 ...

Dear storyteller,

Most parents felt that St. Paul Boys is better than YW.
However, as a parent, YW is in Kowloon side, but SP is in HK side. How's come we need to require our kid to travel so far for 6 yrs. As both schools are good too, do not mind the ranking so much, the most importance is to make your kid study in a happy school.

Dear All,

I live in TKO and just check the bus routine from St Paul Boys nanny bus and the time to get into the bus is 6:45.
But for YW it is 6:30!
So be careful...

hi Smartsuper888

I do agree with you that both schools are definitely a good primary school. In my case, I am more concern their secondary school, because I have two boys and they will go into their secondary eventually.

Does anyone knows about their secondary school?

我覺得兩間都係好學校, 兩間都值得讀, 所以如果俾我揀, 我唯一會考慮o既就係地點. St. Paul 係o係港島, 仲要係中西偏西, 遲d就會入南區, 如果要讀就最好係住番港島. 我一直都同我老公講, 如果st paul收我個仔, 我地一定要搬屋, 不過最後我個仔2nd都冇, 所以得個諗字:) 而英華呢, 反而住邊區都唔差得好遠.

小小愚見

My son got an acceptance from St. Paul Boy and he is waiting for Ying Wah Result .  But I decided not to choose St Paul Boy.
The reason were:
(1) I do not like the school environment.
(2) During the second interview, I felt that the principal's impatience.
(3) I felt that the academic rank of Ying Wah is better than St. Paul Boy.
His grandpa and his uncle were also graduated from Ying Wah.  His grandpa is a professional men.  As to his uncle, he got 7A and 2B in 1989 HKCEE.  And then he studied in CHKU. Thus, I prefer to choose Ying Wah.

當然，英華係傳統學校，跟國際學校式的教學環境是兩回事。家長要分清楚。

我最唔滿意校車服務，又搵唔到保姆車，激死！.. /quote]

Hi, gracechung,

請問你為何不滿校車服務? 如放學後要留下課外活動, 又有無校車安排呢? 請指教。Thanks!!

我都覺得英華輸蝕在歷史短淺，未能比人有跡可尋。個人愚見，如果長遠來說，英華如能保持現時小一的教學路線及水平，肯定進步很大，另人刮目相看。

我評英華的目光並不單以家長身份，有一半係以教育從業員的經驗來評的。因為我做全職媽咪之前，已有十幾年的教學生涯，可以說，學校的確做左好多功夫，而且我十分認同現時學校的教學路向。

我認同林校長的眼光、領導能力同才華。佢唔係口材好咁簡單，而係有理念同時又有能力實踐出來。只要佢領導英華多幾年，路線一旦確立，機制一旦訂定，初步傳統既成，學校再細心挑選繼任校長，即使林校長退休，問題應該不大。

林校長係聰明人，我相信佢應該明白訂定長遠目標及完善制度的重要性。

當然，如果佢留任十年，肯定又比五年好。

你知嗎，林校長對學生生活的安排真是既細心又實際！我個人是十分激讚！佢把小朋友的上課時間大膽改為8:00，放學2:30，原本可以令學生唔需要咁早起身，可恨校長公司咁早上車，7:25就到校，你話攪乜？！

放學早有咩好處，或者家陣家長未有體會，細路早d返，變相多左時間做功課、睇書、練琴、運動…爭好遠呀！明明車程四五個字，點知超過一個鐘至返，點解？因為我地頭站上，尾站落！大家話有冇攪錯？！

其實林校長好岩做直資的校長，比做津校更好，因為有空間比佢大刀闊斧咁做事。難得佢教書出身，做校長咁多年，竟然冇忘記一些好重要的基本問題。

大家留意，有些校長冇咩前線經驗，決策未必體貼學生現實需要，又有些校長，上左位之後做事偏重行政方面著眼，忽視學生利益。

以上純粹個人愚見，講錯的話請大家原諒！

Hi Grace

Thanks for sharing your profound and indepth experience towards Ying Wa.

I totally agree with you that headmaster Lam works in very detail and practical. I really appreciate her vision and contribution as an educator for our next generation.
I am not worry too much my son in Ying Wa primary school, but secondary school would be our concern.

Dear parents

Is me, the 口水佬 again.  My son is SPCPS P1 student

Please try not to compare school to school.  I think we are all matured enough to find the best choice to our children.

We migh have many reasons to take the offer or reject the offer.  Every school has their own advantage and disadvantage.  There is no absolute and scientific comparison between schools.

check every details that you concern.  Bus route, location, homework, extra-curriculars, teachers, headmaster etc.

remember don't just ask via BK, ask the actual responsible party.  Like school bus, sometimes far from school it doesn't mean you need to wake up early.  Take an example, we live in HK east, we get on the bus @ 7:00am; his classmate live in Robinson Rd, need to get on bus 7:15am.  Do you find the difference.  i will say "no".

also, we often compare school to school by what our neighbour say.  I don't think is fair at all.  how reliable the feedback will be.

for all parents who have a chance to study SPCPS or Ying Wah, pls attend their briefing session before you make your decision.  Ask question if you don't confirm.  even after the briefing, you still can call the school to ask.  Of coz before deadline lah.

Most important, this is only an entry ticket.  Success of Alumni cannot guarantee the success of our children.
I believe each school will have above average and below average student.
Most important is how we use these 6 years.

think twice before you make decision.

地點在現今交通綱絡己不成問題！
港島區學校不等於往在港島區方便，
st paul在中西偏西，除非往在附近，其它區車都要預半個鍾至九個字。
現在位置還好，2014-15有地鐵到，出口在附近。
遲d入南區，反而冇地鐵到，遠很多，好似將所有名校，貴校 move to 南區。

九龍區學校不等於往在九龍區方便。
好似Ying wa，其實方便好多新界往的人，看乘西鐵or西九線or 由香港站去南昌有幾方便就知。

其實中學部情況，我都唔清楚！最恐怖有時流言滿天飛，唔知邊句真邊句假，自己又生得一粒，真係要睇得好小心，選擇自已認為最適合。

如不嫌棄，不如大家交流下。

入小一前，曾經都掙扎過，因為我地其實有第二樣offer。舊年係第一年收生，更冇參考！唔呃你，曾經諗過一唔掂就要轉校。

可幸現時我十分滿意，現時我體會唔同左，我覺得現在小朋友實際得益相當多，實際得益比名氣得益更大，個人觀點，細路實際上的長進=基礎好實力夠，基礎好才能走更長遠的路。而且，就我所見，我地同級的小朋友相當唔錯，家長都十分重視教育，希望呢d將會成為有利條件。更具體的資料我就講唔出，因為我所知不多。

We will go for the briefing in St. Paul tomorrow night, and let my son to look around see whether he likes it or not.

In fact, we are also waiting for the result from Ying Wa, hopefully we can make our decision sometime next week and let other kid can take a place sooner.

Good luck to everybody. Once again ! They are our kids and nothing can replace our relationship with our them.

Does it just tell none your relative had studied in SPC. Do you know how many Old YW teachers are still teaching in this (YW-originally from Kei Wa)?, although a number of Kei Wa teachers were forced to resign due to the plan of change to DSS.
I think your family case can tell the history only.

What you have said could be a good reference for parents who do not take the school name as a main factor to decide a school and your statement can show you are a person of broad thinking. Thank you.
