天主教徒有否機會考入英華小學呢?

MATTHAW

有成功例子嗎??? 請各位爸爸媽媽賜教, 謝謝!!!

If non-Christians like us could be accepted, I don't see why a Catholic would not be.  Religion does not seem to be a major factor the school considers.

妳認為基督徒能否考入天主教嘅學校嗎?

thomasha

根據我的個人體驗，基督教徒頗為抗拒入讀天主教學校，反之天主教徒則不介意入讀基督教學校，具體原因尚在調查中。

其實最主要害怕:第一,好的基督教學校不接受天主教教徒;第二,小朋友因是天主教教徒,往後還要繼續聽道理,進行其他禮儀,怕令小朋友有衝突???

若一間基督教學校不能接受天主教徒的學生，我認為它好極有限。

我想像我的無宗教人士，尚且不怕基督教學校不接受，何況是跟基督教較接近的天主教？所以，在學校的層面，宗教歧視相信是不成立的。

至於天主教和基督教在儀式和教條方面的差異，相信問題不是互相排斥，而是兩者有可能令你的小朋友混淆，無所適從。如果宗教對你考慮學校的比重很高的話，的確有需要認真考慮是否入讀，免得日後麻煩。

話說回來，當年我在天主教學校讀了13年，除了聖經是必修科外一定要讀外，學校並沒有強制參加的宗教活動，亦沒有對我有多少信仰上的影響。

My son is born catholic and also accept.  I attached his certificate in the porfolio.

It really doesn't matter and I am buddhish.

有。My son is not the only Catholic in his grade。

同意. 本人跟老婆都是基督教, 當年選校時只選沒宗教背景或基督教學校.....都唔知點解

我們也是天主教徒，但仔仔剛被錄取入讀三年班，今年九月將成為英華仔！我最初也有點擔心他在宗教學習上的混淆，但我相信作為父母的我們可在日後引導他也可以呢

thomasha

I'm sure there must be a reason.

My speculation is that Christians somehow disapprove of Catholicism and don't want to be "polluted", so they don't want to have any connection with the latter.

Was the selection process difficult?  Can you share some details?  Some of my friends were not given an offer by YW and they were thinking of applying in P2 or later.

The selection process is mainly based on academic results at school (better to be 1st/2nd of that year).  In addition, I believe more awards the kid can achieve in public/inter-school competition, the higher chance to be selected.  The kids are required to attend written tests in English, Chinese and Mathematics.

cornelius

I "understand" that YW teaches 1 to 2 years ahead of the normal curriculum (e.g. P1 kids are taught with P3 stuff, P3 kids taught with P5 stuff).  May I know:

1.  If your kid's previous school also teaches ahead of P1 curriculum (which I think is quite normal nowadays)?  If so, how much ahead of the curriculum as you know?

2.  You mentioned your kid had to take written tests.  What is his comment on the level of the test papers (e.g. on par with his previous school's, easier or more difficult)?

3.  How do you (or others) consider the "banding" of your previous kid's primary school? (I mean the approx. % of band 1 or 2 or 3 students admitted or produced by the school)

Let me share my own experience.

Ours is a Christian family.  Last year, we only attempted Christian or non-religious primary schools.  We do know that there are many good Catholic schools.  The reason why we did not try any is that we don't want our kid to get confused in terms of the differences of the fundamentals (e.g. the role of the mother of Jesus) and terminology used (e.g. 天父 vs 天主，參加崇拜 vs 望彌撒).

I won't disapprove Catholicism.  Moreover, I welcome friends of any denomination/religions (in fact, I have many good friends who are Catholics or Buddhists). :)

Thanks for your sharing.

The interesting thing is, Catholics do not seem to have the same concern as Christians.  I would assume that your concern should also apply the other way round to Catholics (e.g. a Catholic studying in a Christian school).

Thanks!

I think it suffices to say that religion (or the lack of it) does not seem to be an important factor in the school's consideration.  Catholic parents should consider whether placing their child in a Christian school will cause compatibility issues in respect of religious practices and interpretations, and whether these issues can be resolved by the parents.
