請問有什麼學校會有可能脫龍?
Almost all 直屬／聯繫 schools.

Hi Ian,

It's me again.  After reading through your posts here (which is super useful!), I wish to seek your advice on a strategy-wise issue.

My boy is a 2011 Dec born.  I know it is early to ask but I do believe in early preparation.  My problem is:  since boys' development is slower and that my son is a small b, I intend to let him school with the dargon babies.  Surely this is not desirable in terms of competition, but I guess it's better for him to compete with the rabbit babies?  What do you think?

If you agree with this first question, then my next question is which route he should go.   I believe in balanced chinese and english learning and therefore do not want to send him to international school.  In fact I want him to study local brand 1 school, but not necessarily famous ones like DBS or 皇仁 because it seems overally academic-driven.  It means I could only choose 一條龍, priavte/DDS or govt / aided schools.  How do you prioritise these three routes, taking into account my expectation and the competition in dragon year?  Which specific primary schools would you suggest as my target?  And in turn, which kindergardens should I target for the primary schools you suggest?  

For background, we live in Taiwai (Shatin) and can get access to Kowloon Tong easily.  My hubby is a St Joseph prmary and secondary school alumni, but I have counted that my son will have 20 marks only for 自行分配.  i learn that St Joseph primary is very academically demanding, but the St Joseph secondary seems not.  Any advice whether I should try St Joseph primary out for my son? If yes, then what kind of kindergardens to apply?  

Sorry to overload you with so many questions, but I sincerely hope that you can offer some expert advice to this helpless mother.  Thanks a million!

Hi Ian,

I am new to this thread.  I cannot download the excel file in the first page of this thread ...

The download path still works.  Please try again.

I am working on a new and updated list and is targeting to post it next week.  Please stay tune.

First of all, as your son is just under a year old, I think it is too early to make a judgement on which year he should start his kindergarten life.  You can either observe his progress or help him to develop a bit sooner in order to catch up the time difference.

If your husband is old boy of St. Joseph's, then what you can do is to try your luck with the discretionary places and leave it to God to decide his faith.  After all, when there are more people, then the chances will become lower mathematically.

While you think you are going to target local band 1 schools, then St. Joseph's academic focus in their primary will certainly help to prepare him for secondary study.  It is the practice that some of these schools adopt by preparing the students better in primary with their self motivation on study and then can leave it to the students themselves during secondary school.  So, their secondary section will appear to be less academic with other focus in other areas.

Another thing you need to be aware is many of the primary-secondary school connection like those in St. Joseph's will no longer be effective by the time your son reach secondary.  So, the planning for secondary school will become more complicated by then.

Thanks Ian.  I agree with you that it's still early and there's uncertainty in planning at the moment.  I will try our luck in PN classes then this year and focus our efforts on K1 admission next year at Kowloong Tong kindergardens.  The path beyond has to be re-examined.  

Thanks again for taking time on my enquiries! :)

再提醒２００９出世（特別是細Ｂ）的父母：
「若你們的小孩子有打算將來進入有直屬及聯繫中學的小學，請盡量在今年(2012年)讀幼稚園幼兒班（Ｋ１），因為根據教育局現時的期限，你們這一屆是暫時最後一屆仍能保持直屬及聯繫。若這些學校選擇不接成一條龍，便須『脫龍』。」

上面這個是什麼意思呢？在教育局網站的哪裡可以看到？。。。謝謝

Hi Ian,
Thanks for your info, it's really useful. My elder son is 1001 boy and younger son is 1205 boy. My expectation to them are the balance of both Chinese and English and not be too tense in academic like those in Kings. I can't say I am not a tiger mom but I don't want them losing the interest of learning/ studying. A band1 local school is our target. Will a boys school be easier to get in? We live in island side. We prefer  school from the island unless DBS or its primary has offer. My boy is studying in Victoria pn now. Should I change to a local k1?

Seems a bit long, thanks in advance

注意：「一條龍」只能解說為與有關幼稚園有連繫的私立小學，不代表該幼稚園學生能保證直升原校小學。





更正告示：
（幼稚園）「德望學校暨幼稚園」　及（小學）「德望學校（小學部）」正確名稱應為「德望小學暨幼稚園」。多謝提供矯正。

Hope everyone can find this useful on a very special day of my family.
