what was happened in the room?
我最近煲聖心舊post, 發現左呢個thread幾值得去睇, 若果您亦鍾情聖心與spk.
我highlight了Ian對spk interview的睇法, 究竟房裡面係咪會有虐兒案法生呢? 我相信當然唔會! 但係會唔會老師嚴肅樣另小朋友情緒有起伏, 從而剔走一d情緒無咁穩定的學生呢? 我覺得呢個可能性大d.
所以我覺得入了特別房而遭黑面對待的不需要太介懷, 可能裡裡外外都是用緊這種手法interview.
不過, 有讀緊的家長說讀落係覺得非常好, 所以唔洗太擔心佢地會無愛心. 不過唔太相信學校的就最好唔好選擇, 因為家長與學校有信任才容易體諒, 配合對方.

Sorry that have been very sick and had high fever (38.8C) so I had slept 12 hours straight. Just wake up and feel better now.
Honestly, the topic is so sensitive that I guess not many people would really want to give you clear and definite comments. At the end, both secondary schools are band 1 and as SH parent, I agree in total that SPCS is definitely better on overall school performance (Academic + ECA, except Sports).
If by hearing this that already satisfy some of the parents to choose SPK over SHCK, then please don't go on and read the rest of this post.
Okay, here's my observations from the past years:
St. Paul's Convent is a school which done very well on increasing the value of the school image in overall.
- They are one of the very few Catholic schools which are willing to join DSS (Direct Subsidy Scheme). That means the school itself has total control on what students they can admit.
- Students are encouraged to join as many competitions (on their own), and welcomed to skip classes in order to take part. This give students more chance to build their confidence and also more awards and exposure for the school. (A close relative of mine is current SPCS student)
- Students are being chosen starting from SPK/ SPN with a very specific character. They need students who are very calm and emotional stable. I will not disclose the exact details so don't PM me to ask. My elder daughter had told me what happened during the interview, I cannot accept their method but I am sure that is a very effective method in order to select their students. In short, they really don't need more than a minute or two for the interview to achieve this.
- As they have established such well organized way of teaching, so parents inputs are not welcomed. To be fair, if the parents chose to let their children enter this school, they also need to trust them as they are the professional, right?
- Haven't talked much about SPK's curriculum since they are rather easy. So, eager parents would arrange ECA to supplement that.
In sum, through my experience, I have absolutely no doubts that SPCS provides an excellent excellent environment if the parents want them to be in the top of the "food chain", at all costs. It is because, they have started real life competition like a commerical setting from a very young age so girls there are well prepared.
For SH, in simple words, everything in opposite of the above. This is why I always say they are very different schools so no points to compare.
- SHCC (Secondary section) chose not to accept more band 1 students outside and reserve that 30% of seats only to their primary school students (i.e. over 90% of SHCC students are own primary students). This is a "foolish" act to many people but this tells you how far they can go to love their children. Also, it tells you the dramatic improvement on these kids since many of them are band 2 during primary.
- Ever wonder why some kids cried and still got accept by SHCK? It is because from their eyes, it is acceptable and normal for a kid to cry in an unfamiliar environment......
- Parents input are welcomed as this is why they start to have English and PTH teachers (they are not NETs, I am sorry for saying it wrong once, too expensive to afford) and how the Kowloon school buses are arranged. These all thanks to parents' efforts and the acceptance by the kindergarten.
- The downside, probably your children may not be the top of the top in the competitive world, but they will be good citizens of the society.

thanks for sharing, despite Ian's comment, I still prefer this school over SHCK.
