四大天王: 東男拔, 西女拔, 南聖小, 北保羅

ssspwong

When compared with other 3 schools, SSCPS gets less recognition from the public because not many people understand its merits. In fact, SSCPS is really popular among elite families. However, these kinds of parents are usually rather low-profile and don't say too much about the school. Therefore, I appreciated PhdJessisema's effort in introducing SSCPS here.

My kid is very happy in SSCPS and I am impressed by his progress in every aspect in the school. And, I would like to use this forum to express my gratitude for the efforts and the commitment of the teaching and non-teaching staff in SSCPS.

從論壇可得知不少家長都曾考慮應否為孩子報讀聖小，考慮的原因主要為以下數點：


1.
由於學費不便宜，學校可能偏好家境富裕的孩子。事實是大部分的家長都是一般的中產家庭。家住南區海怡半島的很多，往該區的校巴也有好幾 ...

Thank you for the sharing. I concur with your opinions.

Nowadays, tertiary education is already a basic requirement for better careers. People need to pursue post-graduate diplomas, master degrees, PhD... That is life-long learning. Don't push the kids too early, too much, too harsh and they will lose their motives for learning.

Hence, I wish my kid to enjoy his school life and has a good foundation for future study -- good language, good self-learning skills, curiosity/interests for knowledge, etc...

I don't doubt SSCPS's academic standards. In fact, I observed that many parents of SSCPS's students were winners themselves in Hong Kong's educational system. They should know pretty well how their kids can compete successfully in this "game" if they want to.

I think nowadays nearly all schools gave too much workloads on children, who need to face an adult's pressure. How can our kids have happy learning?

Can't imagine how's the future of Hk under this so ...

Agreed.
An old boy of SSC, a famous doctor, Dr. Tony Shu-kam MOK, had also said that his school life in SSC is one of the happiest and most momorable time for him.

In old days, when we were young, the parents didn't care much about our school result.  They didn't know the time for quiz, dictation, test etc.  We still grow up.  Now, I can still recall and enjoy t ...

From my primary level mathematics, my calculation of probability is very simple:

no. of places/no of applicants*100%

No need to classify them as boys or girls.

我再諗深一層，應該是這樣：
如果你想將男女分開計算各自的機會率，應該是
50/1000 + 50/1000，假設2000申請者男女申請比例是1:1，結果為1%。不過這樣算法有問題，因為你的小孩祇能是男或女。所以正確的機會率應該是100/2000，即5 ...

SSCPS is very adhesive to balance of boys/girls. Each grade and each class tends to have 50%/50% boys/girls.

I told U which school has the most unbalanced ratio:

St. Francis has 70%boys and 30% girl ...

Thank you for the sharing of opinions and information here.

As a parent of SSCPS' student, I myself is a fan of SSCPS. However, I should respect other people's choice. Everyone has his/her own set of criteria of "what a good school is". And there is always an endless argument.

I believe there is no such so called "the best" school, only the right one for our children. Right? Every parent just try to think about what are the utmost important features of schools for his/her child, collect appropriate information, and do the right match.

We need not do direct comparison among schools because it really hurts people's feelings.  Be a good role model for our children, try to have mutual respect here.

Wish you and the children all success ^^.

After reading your postings in BK, I had got a lot of insights. I knew you are good-hearted. However, different people have different value-judgement. We just need to share what we have observed and let others have their own decision making.

Even for benchmarking purpose, different people have different pre-set criteria. It is normal. Because we have different experience, perception, expectation, constraints and concerns. Therefore, no need to argue which schools are superior and which ones are inferior.

And, direct comparison is rarely meaningful. I would suggest parents to understand their children' traits and abilities; and then match with a suitable school.

Good medicine for one may be poison for others.

Or, I guess 版主 is doing a PhD research on Education. And, she should be quite young. Am I correct? ^o^

版主寫的有部份我不太認同.  但 "DGS 攻略" 就非常同意. 並非笑死人.  全無關係入到主要是交代教統局 (因入讀者雖交他們過目.) 表示他們公平公正.  又或者入選者極為優秀.

如果真的想入 DGS 不妨看看內文.

BK is a good platform for sharing information about education. However, we rarely know the background and the intention of the writers and the reliability of the contents.

I think most of the visitors here are very smart and realize that any discussions here do not represent the standpoints and the opinions of the schools themselves. Right?

SSCPS is a good school. At least as a parent of its student, I am very satisfied. But I would never say it is the best school of the town because different people have different aspirations and different weights for benchmarking.

From my observation, most of SSCPS' parents, students and staffs are humble and nice. And they know how to respect others.
