Hi Mommy-Maggie,

I think it is better to wait for PC and KRS results before you make the decision.  Frankly, although the primary school location will determine which district the secondary selection will be.  But if your child is academically strong enough, they won't be limited to the same district just like the draw for primary school so I don't think it is a must to consider that too soon now.

Hope this help.

Hi Nicole123,

I didn't really study hard on this matter but I recall reading something about changing district for secondary school selection but I have no details to advise you.  But I think there's a possibility for it but you may need to search through the relevant forums for more information.  Good luck!

hi gl,

In general I would prefer St. Clare's over Kau Yan.  For Kau Yan, it is more activity learning model and you will need to look for other secondary schools (and likely many may not choose their primary too).  For St. Clare's, you would have at least a solid backup and look for more 3 years later and they have pretty good environment for English training which appeals to many parents nowadays.

HI, Ian

想問下你, 現救恩及st clare's 都收左我個女, 但這兩間的討論都很少, 請你給些意見啦, 多謝!

iantsang

Hi Mommy-Maggie,

I personally leave that option for secondary school for my children to make their own choice.  Since kids nowadays should be mature enough when they reach that age and realize what path they would be looking for.

thanks much!! Ian.
Agree, it may too early to think about the secondary school.  
We also cannot tell and predict the child's personality & academic performance in these 9 years.

iantsang

I think neither St. Clare's nor Kau Yau will have such issues of too difficult so no need to worry about it.

Merry x'mas!

多謝ian呀, 不過真是很難下決定, 怕學校程度太深或管得太嚴, 到時小孩不愿意上學就煩啦...

iantsang

Precious Blood is a good kindergarten which many people like and there are really not much inputs from Kau Yau parents to know more about their primary school.  I think both primary are still fine but would recommend to consider other secondary schools.

救恩有聯系中學匯基, however, 聯系 only reserves very few places (25% after about 65%, around 10-20 places) for Kau Yau primary.

Hi deniselau,

Sorry for the late reply as I have been focused on some urgent matters during the holiday and unable to attend my old thread.

Is your young one also a girl?  In your message you didn't mention your long term plan as in where will they be studying for primary school.  Have you start to think of that yet?

The reason to clarify this is if you are planning to stay in Tung Chung for primary school (thru lottery) then no need to travel too far for kindergarten.

On the other hand, if you are considering studying in private or direct subsidized schools for primary, then the consideration will be much different.  Do you have any extra points for your elder daughter on her future primary application?  e.g. you are old girl of same primary, or same religion with the primary school?

Happy New Year and keep leave me message or PM me if you have anything don't wanna disclose in  public.  I check my PM from time to time.

Thanks, I think I have posted this information in my thread earlier.

For further update, the EDB has been discussing with those gov't aided secondary schools which have private primary (feeder) schools to determine the best approach on an individual basis.  (Meaning 中、小學必須屬於同一類別的資助模式 may not be necessary)

Until the resolutions are announced, will be unfair to the parents where no definite information on the relationships are available to the public.

Actually if learning English is a major priority, then between KV and York, the choice must be York.  Of course KV's training is good for Direct Subsidized schools, but they are less focused on English if compare to York.  I like them both as they are two of the kindergartens in my favorite list last year.

You said "TARGET傳統小學" but usually traditional schools are not 直資, so which type you preferred more?  Or you mean traditional ones which turn DSS (e.g. St. Paul's Co-ed, DBS, DGS, etc.)?

iantsang

Both are good schools and I believe usually people would prefer St. Rose of Lima's over Pooi To for their primary and secondary section.

However, Pooi To's primary section is private school and their principal of kindergarten and primary is the same person so they can provide a better backup if you are not (1) having over 20-25 points for primary allocation nor (2) living in a district with your target primary school.

So if you need a backup for primary then I would suggest Pooi To.

Hi owenip,

I believe both schools have good preparation for DSS, where 宣幼 will have more emphasis on language training, and 浸幼 may be better to establish the interest of learning to attend those really creative programs.  So, you may need to ask which kind of DSS is your cup of tea and decide accordingly.

Ian

Ian,

Can you share your views on 宣幼 versus 浸幼，my target Primary School is DSS.

many thanks

iantsang

Any special expectations for his future 10 years in HK as you mentioned he will be sent to Australia by that time?  Would you need some non-local style study or still prefer traditional program?  

Personally I don't feel necessary to make the transition too early as I believe the kids can adjust.  Also, as parents we should help them through this process.

St. Margret's is a good kindergarten.  Any concerns on primary school path?

Hi Virginia105,

You are not mixed up, but since there are so many DSS schools so I need to make sure which kind of them are you referring to.

For SFA, definitely should choose KV since SFA has strong preferences on KV graduates.

I think KV was fine for GH too but since GH has re-open their own kindergarten now, the chances of getting into GH can be an unknown.  But I think KV is still a better choice.

For DGJS, I guess the normal suggestion would be to try CCKG for K2 (they have no K1) or St. Catherine's.  I feel York is a good alternative to St. Cat. but if you stay with KV and supplement with more English training outside then it would be even better.

Do you have a preference on boys school only?  I think the list of primary schools you have listed are all quite good and can be very competitive.  Do you have any knowledge that the primary selection process is very different nowadays?  Basically you don't have the freedom to choose to apply to many schools nowadays so you need to be careful with that.

I suggest you visit this link to learn more about primary schools available:
http://chsc.edb.hkedcity.net/primary/index.php?lang=c

And the application method:
http://www.chsc.hk/primary/tc/app_method_a.htm

For the case of St. Paul's College (Boys), it is now a direct subsidized school so it can be apply directly.  Also, Raimondi is a private primary school and they have also changed to co-educational so not sure if you husband prefers his old school while they have girl students now.

Hi HeiJanice, if I remember correctly, you are my neighbour right?  I am not sure if we met eventually in the park.  Please accept my apology if I can't recognize you in-person since I do have people suddenly say hello to me from time to time.  Very sorry.

Why you worry about giving up KV?  Are you targeting SFA?  And actually I remember you prefer St. Paul's Church and I think it is a good kindergarten for boys.  Do not worry too much about the transportation now.  Often time need to wait until August to sort out the nanny bus so no ones will confirm with you now.  If you really like this school, then just stay with it and you will find nanny bus later.  I had this experience last year and really not much you can do now except find more nanny bus contacts first and they will reply you months later.

Good luck!

Ian

If you like more training on Chinese and particularly PTH, then Pooi To will be more suitable since they have a long history of Chinese teaching.

I think both schools' students are good in manner but personally I prefer Catholic schools.  Also, I think the primary school is slightly more academic oriented at St. Rose compare to Pooi To since Pooi To first two years are activity based learning.

I think you need 20 points at least for St. Rose.

Hi doramich,

Based on your expectations, I believe Victoria would probably provide you the suitable environment for your child.  TT would also be an option too, depends on which area in HK your family will be staying.

For primary study, those criteria you stated would probably be found in DSS type school only so you may start look for those information after you come to HK.

All the best!

Ian
