英華 Vs 高主教 Vs 聖方濟各

那一間的雙語教育做得好啲？
如果不考慮 $ 與 距家遠近，你會選那一間？
如果與在"谷"與"求學興趣"之間取一平衡點，點䏲？
要諗埋個細妹嗎？有啲人話分開諗；但08年出生率接近04年的2倍呀！今次考小一已覺得好難和大壓力了。

哥哥自幼在英普幼稚園讀，屬於"創意、活潑"型，但睇嘢學嘢好正面冇投訴，亦肯守規矩和肯受老師教(不過係唔多受阿媽教啫！又呃又氹又鬧才坐低做功課。)都肯講道理嘅。

還有一個08年妹妹，10月細女。

已放棄2間。
另5間已失敗。
浸小、培正、StStephen、蔡繼有waiting。
最想入是sscps。
宣小未in。

希望大家可以俾d意見給我. 依家 心 lo-lo-lyn,
謝謝 !!!

Wow so yr kid has applied for at least 16 schools, must be 1 of record keeper in BK. I think U answer yrself and U should choose after finalisation of the appln results.

你現在有無offer 在手?

fsforth

我建議你幫個女轉考一間可以直升小學既幼稚園作為保險

另外, 你講呢三間學校都要interview, 除了YW, 哥哥讀緊, 不代表妹妹一定可以有得讀

littlemak

dear fsforth,

I know, but at least some advantage over other govt/subsidized school? as brother is studying there?

bcos she has only 10 marks by that time, that means also zero mark.

moreover, i tried applying some nurseries already, but they don't even want to give me the application forms! because she is "small" girl ! poor younger-sister.

that's why i feel so stressful on choosing a school for elder brother.
to find one suits him? or one that's safe for him and sister?
sigh...........having choice means also no choice.............

littlemak

fsforth,
offer on hand: sfa, rc.

VKwan

既然你認為哥哥在學對妹妹有幫助，唔好揀yw啦。

但我本人意見唔係咁，哥哥應揀手中最好的offer不理男/男女校，妹妹自有佢既命運軌道，冇理由要影響到哥哥。

littlemak

So, if neglecting younger-sister influence, which is the best for elder-brother?

SFA? YingWa? RC?

which one would you prefer? which one stronger in language (eng & mandarin) and better to my son?

同意! 哥哥有本事考到RC/SFC就唔應該為個妹而放棄, 無理由迫哥哥玩大抽獎

為左妹妹, 哥哥入RC會好d, 女仔去 in "男校"點都有些著數, 就算到時妹妹只係有waiting list, 都可以同學校商量下, 記得叫哥哥係RC 乖D, 老師對哥哥有好印象, 對妹妹都有幫助架

littlemak

so, fsforth,
do you think RC is stronger in languages than YW?

呢樣我唔知道, 因為我放棄左RC 既offer, 無再收料..
但係如果你想幫妹妹就入RC, 因為RC是男女校...
而RC大部分老師教開男仔, 女仔普遍比男仔乖, 所以, 妹妹 in RC 成功率應該大過你去in其他女校

但係, 因為我個仔比較emotional, 如果比我二選一, 就一定係YW

YW小學程度應該唔會淺, 學術上可以放心, 只要有林校長一日, touch wood 講句如果個仔攪到要見校長, 在YW, 林校長應該會有solution 比你知點去幫個仔!

但又因為個Snoopy校長實在太好, 要搵人做得好過佢唔容易, 佢04年入英華, 而家都做左六年, 會唔會做多六年呢?
Anyway, 收左先再想...

YW同RC點比我唔知，因為我係九龍人，對香港學校唔清楚。

但我可以話你知，YW的語文教學辦得唔錯，林校長好重視語文科，工作紙設計得甚有水平。我好少返學校浦，識既老師唔多，但我遇見過既幾個英文老師都唔錯，聽口音應該從外國返黎。

舊年做家長義工(p1)，見某些班如果是英文老師做班主任，平日同學同班主任全英文對答，普通話班主任亦然。不過我個仔個班主任教數，就冇呢個優惠喇。

咁當然，yw同國際學校比，一定唔同level，但local school來說，一d都失禮。不過我同意同sfa比，一定唔夠sfa咁深。

至於校長退休問題，我唔擔心，因為睇得出校長的目標亦一路都做緊既係建立優質的教師團隊，眼下所見教師是年輕但有經驗果種，好既教師係唔需要校長睇住至識做野架！學校的教師團隊/教學路向既成，就不易動搖。

Agree. Everyone has his/her own path to go. It would be unfair to deprive older child's benefits. Maybe little sister is even smarter than big brother and get into DGS. You never know. But I would register all schools that give me offers and decide later.  Good Luck!

littlemak

Thanks fsforth,

I agree with you:
choose RC for younger sister higher chance to get a primary and secondary school.
Also, RC is a english primary school.

I give up the lucky draw for a co-ed primary school as I shouldn't let brother to take risk. He get RC (and maybe YW) by his own effort, he deserves a good school for him.

littlemak

fsforth,

why do you say that if your kid is more "emotional" than should let him study in YW? do you mean that YW can handle kids better in their personality and emotional issues?

agree that the teachers at YW and RC are both love and caring and experience.

my son emotion-stable most of the time. however, he is very gentle and sensitive to others attitude towards him. he can be very sad if his friends don't play with him or if his teacher misunderstand him. i think he can benefit more from a small-class teaching style. but both YW and RC are big-class (33-35 per class with only 1 class-teacher). he will be very quiet if not encourage him to speak out in the class or not giving him enough chance to speak out.

I knowSFA is a very famous and good academically school. but i am likely to give up SFA as it is a big class-teaching style, and competition is super keen there. i don't want my son to get too upset if he study very hard but still always fail and always get poor ranking in the class exam.

seems RC and YW will not "open names" on the ranking list after the exam except the top 10 students. this is rather healthy and motivational to the students.

littlemak

dear gracechung,

thanks a lot for your kind comment and info.

i am very glad to hear that YW is not bad in language education. of course, as local school standard, it is quite good already.

how about the reading atmosphere? do the kids always take out a book from the pocket to read, just like (i heard) those in ChoiKaiYau?

how about the language spoken among the classmates and friends in school ? english or mandarin or most common is still cantonese?

I have heard that PLK:TSL the kids talk to each other in English. real or not?

littlemak

dear bbone,

thanks for your idea. Agreed. To decide later, consider in more directions first and collect more info.

my son has finished his interview at YW already. he is really very very sick on that day of interview. fever, cough, no voice and bad sore throat. but he is very brave and cooperative and behave very well. he answer all questions. he sit patiently on his chair even though he feels very sleepy after taking the medicine. he knows this is his dream school hence he tries hard to perform well.

we talk with principal ms lam (she is a very nice lady, very presentable and strong-minded style. she is confident in her leadership and curriculum model) and through out the process the atmosphere is happy with laughters, sharing of ideas with no conflict no arguments at all.

thanks everybody for your precious comment and information.

lets decide at mid Dec when all offers confirmed.
good luck to you too. hope you get your dream school as the best christmas gifts this year!

Dear littlemak
No offense. From the thread I saw signs that U may be over-stressing yr child and yrself. Language ability, as we all know, is crucial for career etc. but it appears that U apply so many diff schools from TKO to West Kowloon; from Shatin to Stanley each of vastly diverse styles, values etc... I'd suggest U consult yr kind teacher or child pysch specialists to seek afdvice on which school best suit him based on his characters after the results of all the appln has been finalised.

Best.
