SSCPS is stand for St. Stephen Stanley

Somebody is talking about St. Paul Co-ed?????

Somebody clarified that they did receive rejected letter from St. Stephen Stanley.  Am I right?

As we all know, the deadline is 29th January 2010, right?

yes, the moms that I knew said that they received rejection letters were talking abt st stephen's (but only 2, don't worry)
Including me,  six moms also didn't receive any reply.
Only one mom that I knew had received an acceptance and had registered on 27th nov.
And I think only a few seats will be released after the results of DBS and DGJS have been announced.

sorry, i didn't make myself clear.
i have written letter to SSCPS, but no reply till now.

for SPco-ed, i have received its reject letter long time ago lah! but never mind, after i have collected more info of it, it is not our favorite ones lah! i have heard from my ex-colleague that its (sec school) focus is on academic and music, not really encouraging sports. so i would rather take one which is more all-rounded.

just received a letter from St Stephens which says my kid is on waiting list

dvb

We have also recieved the letter...... on the waiting list.

monkeydog

It may mean no one really gave up St. Stephens after Nov end govt school results annouced?

Then, the wait list may only have chance after next June Govt allocation because even some kids get other better DSS/private schools later this month or so, they may still hold the seats and dont give up the seats at St Stephens until next June.

dvb

That's also what I think.
Only those who have clear target,  DBS or DBJS,  may release the seat before June.  The seat to be released would be minimal before June, or even after June.

monkeydog

People can hold both DBS and DBJS together with St Stephens until June next year.

then i can almost give up lah, bcos really a torture to wait till june!

how abt kids getting dbs or dgs or co-ed offer? will they actively give-up sscps offer by writing to school?
i think not.

so, likely to wait till july or even august or sept!

I think some people will have no seond thought at all if DBS or DBJS offers them a place.  Just hope these kind of people will release their seat from St. Stephen.   Anyway, it is just a hope.

Received waiting list letter from them today.

littlemak

just receive letter, on waiting list.

think positively: then we can have more time to observe and research on this school. ha ha !

I guess there is quite a good chance to get a seat in the DSS/private schools finally next year if kids are on wait list.

My rationale is I am always puzzled that it looks like this year's P1 competition for DSS/private schools is much higher than last year (look at the average application no. of DSS/private schools). I undertsand schools cut down class size (small class policy) this year. But birth rate of 2004 is even a bit lower than 2003. One thing to explain this phenomenon is parents in general apply more DSS/private schools as compared to last year. As a result of this, on average some kids have more offers on hand which they need to give up all finally, except one school in June next year.

If Co-ed really give my son an offer, I would not think about what is "all round education" !

希望你唔係吃不到的葡萄啦.....

But this may not apply to SSCPS.
1.  The registration date is so late that not many will fortfeit if they really registered.
2.  No lucky draw for the registered kids.
3.  Schools not announce results yet are DBS, DBJS, Ying Wa, CKY.

I think mainly the seats from the above 4 schools and  St. Paul Co-ed, St. Paul Boys, St. Paul Convent (no idea about its admission) will directly release places from SSCPS.  Of course, the lucky draw may release some of the seats from the above schools.
