Dear wlks

Many thanks to your advice.

My son succeeds in getting the seat of P1 at 軒小(下午）today. Frankly speaking, 高主教 is my 1st priority. However, i know from other parents that it is quite "催谷" student and it may be studying in advance for nearly one academic year. My concern is that the time i spend to my kid is not enough. Maybe just 1-1.5 hrs after dinner every night. I'm afraid it would affect his studying as he may not be self-disciplined in doing the homeworks after school. Actually, he can be doing well under my supervision if time is available.

BTW, can u share the view on your ranking of the schools?

Besides, could any other parents share your valuable experience?

Looking forward to hearing all your views soon as the time for making decision is limited.

Thank u very much!!!

St Louis vs RC - I think there is a thread, pls refer
As for Hennessey - not familiar but as per some parents of current students it appears that since it is a govt school, its curriculum follows that of Education Dept strictly -won't be 1/2 or 1 yr ahead that sort of things -so relatively easier, but still has elite class and resources are heard to be focused on that elite class -and since students are admitted by luck or relationship instead of personal merits- can be great disparity of students' abilities and /or behaviours. Another concern - it is half-day instead of full day. Also my biased observation is seem AM better than PM

So, my ranking is also
RC > SLS > Hen

I think in reality siblings or alumni have really high chance of acceptance in RC, so personally I do not think this is a major concern.

Although RC and St Louis is a through train school, one of the "selling point" of 軒小 is the connections with good secondary school such as QC, BPS...

But I think the strategy will change to be more fair in private school in coming future. Like DBS......

If u do consider the little one, HR might be a better choice, at least u 2 don't need to go through this process again in few years later. BTW, HR has connection with QC, there are some 30+ boys can enter every year.

我會選 HR
1. 學費
2. 有細佬
3. 中學派位

RC 較好的是地理位置, 或如果唔好運派到唔理想學校

兩間都傳統, 無太大分別, 無必要在意英文教咩科, 呢d自己睇書都得.  在 HR 讀得好, 在 QC & BPS 都係 keep 到水準 top 的.

叩門, 會叩邊間 ? HR 都好好架啦 wor .

For this point, I would like to share a case.

Son of my friend was one of the students in the elite class of HR AM section a few years ago but he was not the top layer in the class.  He, of course, got a seat in QC.  My friend was so happy at that time.  A year later, the boy found he could only be in the lower layer no matter how hard-working he was.  He was kind of give up.  My friend was so nervous and commented that those QC students came from “名校” were far ...……….......    I have no idea which which “名校” she was referring to.  

I understand this is only an individual case but it did alert me.

I think my point for this is if your kid not at the higher level. Don't select QC, there are still many other choice.

I think that for your friend case, Cartier. If the kid not in the higher level. Not choose QC to him. There are still many other good choice can select through HR.
