RC has never intended to be a school only for the excellent.

In our old days when the Secondary Section was still a private school, almost every student could be promoted from the primary section.

Of course, it is difficult for RC to keep this policy nowadays.  However, they still try hard to retain as many internal students as possible.  Thus, it is not stunnig to find the Secondary Section with lot of Band 2 students.

I chose RC for my boy coz he is capable in English.

In the meantime, he applied HKGUA as it is within walking distance.  The language subjects are taught by native language speakers (both English and PHT).  They charge about two thousand bucks per month.  A big deal!

RC is a reasonable choice and don't be overworrying.  At least, kids are well disciplined there in general.

Personally, I think academic result depends largely on the quality of students.  The chart you see today may not apply tomorrow.

HKUGAP is our first choice because of less pressure.  Our son was not admitted in the end.

HKUGAP is very different  from a traditional school.   They don't have any test from P1 to P4 (may be changed).  I heard two years ago their TSA result was mediocre.  May be not pushing hard enough.  However, I have met some of their students on a bus speaking good English and PTH.  Pronounciation is very accurate.

Of course there are other outstanding schools like St. Paul and DBS, but really I don't want to waste my time in doing comparisons.  I selected RC as our second choice as it is above average and more importantly, I am an old boy.  So higher chance and save me from being exhausted.  At least, my wife would not murmur around me.

You were incorrect that almost every student could be promoted from the primary section to the secondary school in the old days.

I was one of the guy who could not be promoted to RC secondary 25 ye ...


I refer 'old days' to the year before eighty's.  During mid of 1980s, there was a drastic drop in quality since RC could not have too much say when admitting S1 students.  A lot of students were Band 3 to 5 assigned by the Government.  Their behavior was scary!  I was told by my teacher when returning to Hong Kong.

Pleased to meet another old boy here.

Hi johnnyrotten,

How's the status nowaday that you know?
Is there any big change on student quality?
Thanks for your helpful information.


Don't worry about the quality.  Just ask yourself what you would do if RC is not a EMI school.   Very likely, your answer applies to other parents.  Indeed, RC benefits a lot from the limited supply of EMI schools.  It can attract more brilliant students.

By the way, I have two nephews gradutating from RC in 2000s.   They've got 5As, 4As and either Bs or Cs for the rest at HKCE.

Hi Glad to meet the oldie old "boy" here. Yes I could still remember the pressure of sitting for the Secondary School Entrance Exam then ( 70s) and I even took entrance exam of  a private school as  ...


I think I am the oldest boy here.

In our days, we didn't take the Secondary School Entrance Exam as the secondary section was still a private school.  It was difficult to get a 'C' at HKCE.  HKAL was not for human being at all!  Only 3 out of 20s in my class were admitted to the HKU or CU.  However, our two best guys snubbed the local University and went to CIT and Standford.

To a very substantial extent, I agree with GCCC1231.  We were not pushed too hard to get A's in public EXAM.  Even if you did poorly in academic, you were never requested to quit school.  That's why I enjoyed my school life.

I smoke when I was sixteen.  I gambled in horse racing too.  It's not that weird in a boys school.
