Sacred Heart accepted my girl's p1 app admission

shusiusiu

Dear parent,

I will write a letter to True Light n St. Clare's for giving up the seats of P1 admission.

I m more than happy, n I m so proud of her.  Now, it's the time to choose now.  SSCPS or Sacred Heart? Any advice?

shusiusiu

Dear fsforth,  I agree with you.  However, Sacred Heart is only half day school which mean I have to arrange the afternoon activities for her.  This may turn out spending more thanSSCPS.  These two schools have their own characteristic.  For kids, I believe she loves more SSCPS than Sacred Heart.  For me, I love Sacred Heart more, and the only disadvantage is Half day school.

論學費, SSCPS 貴好多!

論workload, Sacred Heart 大很多, 但如果挨得住, 成績有保證.

女仔我會選聖心, 因為 Value for money, 上中學唔會太早拍拖!

Really thks fsforth.  I specially like you said "入聖心是考父母的耐力, 而入SSC就是考你的財力!"

聖心功課夠你做半日, 我表妹以前都係呢度小學畢業, 成績好, 中學考入聖保羅男女, 聽佢講老師比較惡, 壓力都幾大

我係小朋友都會喜歡SSCPS, international school feeling, 老師好人又多野玩, 有時會去室外上課,  ...

Hi shusiusiu,

May I know when you receive the acceptance letter?

Dear ellylau,

Honestly, I dare to let my girl to watch the VCD of SSCPS since I m afraid she insists to go to SSCPS if she watch the VCD.  

For DGJS, I have given up already since I believe the chance is really too small for me to have a hope.  

Actually, I was graduated from SHCS, n I was so scare to do homework too when I was at that age. From my memory, every schoolmate are very smart and clever, but not very nice. We were proud of to be "ST Sim Mui", but we were afraid of teachers (maybe respect) We had so many awards, yet we practice n practice n practice.  

I do not know whether SHCS has changed or not since it was long time ago. I believe SHCS definitely is a good school, but I like the characteristic n culture of SSCPS. The most impt of all, my girl is really not that hardworking type.......

Dear Sunglasses,

Both ar definitely good schools.  However, I learned that SHCS seems like having a higher branding than Good Hope.  Friend of mine have two daughters studing in Good Hope n she said the grading in Good Hope is declining n it's not as good as previous. (Don't know whether is ture or not).  If the travel distance ar same, I may prefer SHCS.  PPls said it's really hard to get in if your girl is not a kinder from SHCS.

Dear Lui,  Your reply is really why I m still struggling which school I should let her in.  To me, I m also the one who experienced "feeding" n "pushing" learning environment. I know that the academic result will be fine anyway, but I (MAY) turn out stopping my girl's right brain development.  May I know which private school your girl is currently studing?

For all similarity, what a conincident!  I didn't inform the school that I was one of the old girl too!

I think I will have the same decision as yours.  Let me tell you one more thing: I m living in Bonham Road which is very close to Caine Road.  Regarding to my research n friends' advice,  SHCS seems to be the best decisions for me.  Maybe I should let my girl to sleep one hour more.  Haha.

shusiusiu

Dear Tweetyho,

Do you like the academic result is getting worse because of the Sec Sch is not DSS?  What I mean is she is still a subsidized sec sch n have no right to select P6 pupils?  

What we ar going to face is 12 years later.  There is no more HKCEE. No one will know how's the schools result in the future.  If that so, should I choose SSCPS rather than SHCS?

Apart from travel time, money is also a big concern.($55000 Vs 22000)  

Regarding to the trend, does anyone think that SH may possibly change from half day to full day school in futures?

If my girl studing in a half day school, I may need to arrange ECA or tutorial class for my girl since I m a working mammy.  Can anyone tell me how much will the tutorial class be?

Really thanks for your help!

Dear manling,

Yes, u ar right. Do you think that the ECA if studing in SH will cost more than SSCPS?

$22000 half day in fact imply $44,000 for a whole day.
