Before interview, we have made a research.  We knew there are some students in St. Paul's living in Kln side.  I also visited the website of 保母車”黎太 as well and asked for the traffic fee (so high, >$1,000/mth).  So we believed the address is not a concern at the beginning.  

BabyHilary

Thanks for ur info!

The schoolbus fare is obviously higher than school fee! However, total expenses is $2XXX/mth, still a lot cheaper than studying in Kln Tong district which school fee is $2500, $3000 or more and schoolbus fare $800-1000.

As I lived in Kln side, therefore, I asked for her in Sep 2008 about the fee.  It is quite high!  You can visit the forum of St. Paul's k ...

That's also my concern, becoz my son got offer from a English kinder at Kln Tong which have NET teach eng and maths everyday and mandarin 3 lessons per week. Whereas SPK have no NET teacher, we have to join eng course outside, it may cost more money and waste time.

Anyway, I only have to make decision if my son luckily got an offer from SPK, needn't bother about that at this moment.

But someone said that if your baby studies at one of the famous Kowloon Tong kindergarten, there will be no need to take extra Eng. course.  However, SPK is a normal kindergarten and extra Eng course  ...

SPK parents organize eng class for their kids...have heard that before, just wondering how come SP don't think good english foundation is needed for their kindergarten students which they can well prepared for their english primary school?

I will say if your children is in spk, external English course is a MUST.  The spk parents have a tradition to gather together and organize English classes together.  You have to do this since St. Pau ...

BabyHilary

Agree, boys really no benefit!

SPK no need to push their students too hard as 90% of them can go staight to SPCS, but why SP not provide better english training to their kinder students, thus they could have better english foundation to adapt their english primary school?

There is no real benefit for boys to study at SPK.
The beauty of SPK for girls is that since most can go straight to St Paul Convent Primary School, there is no need to push them too hard - they can b ...

If so...English standard of spk students should be quite good and at least better than other traditional kindergarten, extra english class is not a MUST, parents arrange extra eng class for their kids only want them to be the best of the best, right?

SPK's teaching in phonics is very good.  Their phonics is very special and is designed by their own.   Their SPK students have no adjustment problem in English after they are promoted to St Paul Coven ...

st paul中小學情度毫無疑問係高啦,
只係見好多人話幼稚園情度一般,
原因係學生9成升上同一小學......
所以我奇怪既然中小學係高程度英文學校,
點解幼稚園唔須要高程度去為學生打好基礎啫?
我相信其實spk程度唔係低,
家長額外報eng course只係想小朋友更優秀。

我家姐個女讀P1，佢話升小學中文難追啲，英文無問題...
不過佢個女都有Keep住上英文course...
我諗香港人只要負擔得起，總會比仔女上一啲同英文related 的courses...
我friend話係U遇到的St Paul 生，英文絕對好ok...
Anywa ...

BabyHilary

幼稚園程度一般什至係低,
但升上去嘅中小學程度就比一般高,
幼稚園學生家長為左小朋友追到小學程度,
唯有出外面惡補英文......
呢間學校安排都好奇怪wor﹗

咁點解唔由幼稚園開始就為學生打好英語基礎,
配合自己小學嘅英語教學環境呢?

我朋友既小朋友讀緊SPK, 據知10個SPK學生著緊8/9個係出面學/補英文, 目的係為小學英語教學做準備, 因SPK的英文程度真是不高

BabyHilary

我仲未有資格去擔心, 希望將會有啦﹗
不過其實我對spk好有信心,
st paul辦學幾十年來校譽都咁好,
幼稚園同中小學連接應該唔會係咁奇怪啩﹗

My daughter graduated in SPK 8 years ago.  She did not attend any English tutorial class.  However, I thought she had no difficulties in her P1 English.  SPK does not teach many vocabulary, they teach ...

Agree your view of point and thanks for sharing.

Just want to share my own experience with SPK:

BabyHilary

我唸唔係, 我住kln in 1/F, 老師冇問我住邊。
我反而覺得老師好注重小朋友係咪獨立,
因為老師問我小朋友有冇返學,
我話未正式返學, 上緊playgroup,
佢問我自己上課定家長陪, 我話家長陪,
跟住我話囝囝將會上一個音樂課程,
佢又問我係自己上定家長陪, 我都係答家長陪...
其實一般playgroup都係親子班,
我都想搵d唔洗家長陪, 可以比小朋友試下獨立上課。
