Just came back to home after interview at spk.  So crowded there and finished really fast!

And received a letter from SHCK, and the letter is so thin, makes me so worry!

But it is an acceptance letter!  Very happy!

NCB pm class (we chose PM class since we live in Tsing Yi), wish you all good news to come!

iantsang

The result is available now at http://www.shck.edu.hk/!

Good luck to everyone!

How's the interview today at SPK?  I guess it will be very hard to tell from that quick interview.  But 2 months to wait is way too long!  Good luck and let's keep in touch!

btw, are you applying for St. Stephen Girl's?

Congrat Ian, my daughter got waiting list only

iantsang

hi, your daughter is also assigned to NCB pm?  It's good to know someone in the same class.  I think I will let her go to sh also since my daughter has been keep saying she likes SH ever since the day of the interview.

I think the early start time of am makes many of us choose pm......

It's great, I think we can form a thread for NCB pm class parents to share!

For your concern, SH kinder should be ok, I think they will be pushy in primary and secondary only.  This is quite common for Canossian's schools.

And for primary school, if you don't mind paying tuition fees, they should take all kinder students to private section (AM only).  If you prefer gov't aided, then will need to do lottery for the pm section.

hi, my girl has also been admitted to NCB pm class. i am still thinking if I will go for it. Is the school pushy? and how's the chance to get admitted to primary one?

iantsang

Thank you so much Ursula!  Now I have no doubts to let my daughter study there!  It will be the right choice!

Ian

You are right.  Canossian schools are pushy especially in the secondary as I was an old girl since kindergarten.  But I still like it and thank what they had done to me when I looked back.

One more t ...

Hi Ursula, what class is your daughter assigned to?

I am so glad to learn that my comments can help you also!  But in fact, since I am quite familiar with the other Canossian schools (must make it clear I am the father of my daughter here ), and Sacred Heart is the only one (as far as I am aware) which has kindergarten.  My belief from my experience studied in Catholic schools with number of schools under the same organization, is that they are very closely connected and are always willing to take students from one and another.  Great to know that you share my view too!

Actually I also need to thank you as I saw you mentioned in other topic regarding "Sacred Heart Vs St. Paul", you shared that Sacred Heart provides more choices after kindergarten.  I shared your view ...

iantsang

Hi Ursula,

I am totally agree with your viewpoint!  It's the school philosophy that we agreed with that's important!

It's a shame that there aren't any options in the Kowloon side.  But I have prepared to move if needed so I also apply some kinder in Kowloon side and some in HK side.

I am trying to enjoy the moment of joyfulness now.  The next task is to think where to move to.

Hi iantsang, my girl was placed in NCB am class.

You are right, Sacred Heart is the only school provides kindergarten education under Canossian group, that's why, even though we are living in Kowloon ...

iantsang

Congratulations to you!

I believe this thread is becoming the gathering place of NCB am/pm parents!  Just kidding, all parents are welcome!

Very happy!  also accepted, NCB am class

iantsang

How's the performance of your daughter during the interview?

If you are sincere about letting your daughter attend SHCK, I will still encourage you to try write a letter to the principal and show your sincerity to her.  Don't give up too soon!

Other options will be trying again in the coming years for K2 and K3, as I also have friends who have done that.

Of course, it's never too late to join the big family during primary school, do you live in area 11?

my daughter is rejected. i don't know why? any suggestion for me? coz i really want my daughter go to SHKG

iantsang

Have you got the letter from SHCK yet?  If on waiting list, there are still chances but better write the letter to them so they know you are serious about it.

my daughter got rejected as well.  and  i have not received the letter yet.  i wonder if she can get in the "waiting list". i heard there is still chance when you are in the waiting list.

iantsang

No, we are not Catholic and I will say it is only one of the factors to be considered.

Good luck to you next year!

iantsang

Hi, are you asking about SHCS primary?

原帖由 Mrscheung99 於 09-2-4 20:36 發表


恭喜你阿..我想了解多d聖心阿...

上午校同下午校有Mug不同阿?
申請左系唔系統一抽籤派位阿?
甘如果系抽籤,重需要去interview?

iantsang

There are no 統一抽籤派位 for kindergartens.

For example this year, we download the application from the SHCK web site http://www.shck.edu.hk/ in the month of November, and then need to hand in the application IN-PERSON early December.  Interview is scheduled in early January and results announced within 2 weeks.

Hope this help!

系幼稚園阿...申請的程序系點阿...

iantsang

I believe you can certainly try next year for K2, provided that there are vacancies.  They have the application defined in the web site also.

原帖由 cecilia001 於 09-2-6 15:13 發表
呀囡今年reject咗,我出年可唔可以再報考K1 or K2插班呢?

iantsang

There should be chances since my friend's daughter also tried on K3 recently and helped to get to SHCSPS eventually.

Good luck!

原帖由 cecilia001 於 09-2-6 16:30 發表


Thanks! 雖然我都已經寄咗信去學校,不過我想都是無希望喇.希望K2插班OK啦!!

iantsang

Since kindergartens are all independent so each of them can arrange a different application procedure.  For information of all kindergartens, you can visit the website from EdB http://chsc.edb.hkedcity.net/kindergarten/

Usually, you need to start contacting them (by phone or information on their own website, if available) around September, in the year before your children entering kindergarten.  Some start application earlier but some are much later (as late as January/ February the following year).

Usually, applications are not related to where you live.  But some kindergartens may have their own preferences for children living closeby, but no need to worry too much!
