如 DGJS & St. Paul co-ed 都收,大家會點決定?

twobigeyes

我好開心﹐DGS真是收左我個女。但係現在真的唔知點揀。SPCC 同 DGS 都是那麼好﹐我諗我一定要問多些有子女讀這兩間學校既朋友﹐然後再仔細分析﹐看看那間學校比較適合我的女兒。

Wow, twobigeyes, congratulations to you!  Although it's a very hard decision to make, but your daughter must be very bright.  After received the rejection letter, I thought DGJS and St. Paul co-ed must be looking for really different type of girls.  I guess I'm wrong.  Anybody received both offers from the two schools too?

Twobigeyes, do you mind sharing which kindergarten your daughter goes to?  Did your daughter tell you how was she doing at the DGJS interview?  Like did you feel she's doing very good at the interview? (Because I wondered in just 3-5mins, how could they tell the girl is the right one or not?)

Well, you can also ask your daughter if she wants a boy & girl school or a girl school.

VAMP﹐

多謝你。跟據我女兒面試後出來說﹐Mrs. Dai 是問她以下問題的﹕
1. 你的名字
2. 你的地址
3. 今年幾歲
4. 所讀學校名稱
5. 有沒有兄弟姐妹
另外Mrs. Dai也給她一幅圖畫﹐叫她形容圖畫中看到的。因為我女兒是答先﹐所以Mrs. Dai 沒有問她圖書既問題。 其實我個女是差不多最後個一兩日 interview的﹐起初還以為她的機會不大。

我覺得除了面試表現外﹐小朋友平時參加既公開比賽和公開考試成績都好重要。最好係音樂方面都參加一些認可校試﹐作為學校參考。 我女兒是在聖保祿幼X園就讀的。

請問例如什麼公開考試?

至於音樂方面我成日都問自己,小朋友係唔係真係可以五歲人仔就可以考到幾多幾多grade? 因為身邊的同學仔個個都只係初學者! 係唔係出面真係好多己經好勁?

twobigeyes

公開考試 ﹕ 例如 London Test of English, Cambridge, Trinity (Solo)

音樂 - 我的女兒已考獲3級了

amanda030209,

what I say here is purely personal and instinctive.

If you believe your girl is self confident and assertive, go for DGJS.  

If you believe your girl is 乖乖 and submissive type, go to SPCC.  

In terms of academic and extra curricular activities standards, (my hubmle view based on my observations of kids of people I know - and different people have different observations):

DGS girls stronger than SPCC girls.

But SPCC boys stronger than DBSPD boys.  

Mind you, SPCC only began to be more active in inter school extra curricular activities in recent years (music was the only one it took part in in teh old days).  In the 70's and 80's it kept to itself, and regarded other schools (and extra curricular activities) as beneath it.  Ask people who went there in the 70's and 80's and you will understand.

I agree with anxiousparent's observation.  

But as a parent I have a question in my mind for quite some time...  If my child is 乖乖 and submissive, will the opposite type of school actually help him/her becoming more confident and assertive?

Same for music vs. sport.  If my child is good at music but bad at sport, should I actually send him/her to a school that is good at sport, with the intention to improve the "weakness"?

yes and no lar ...

On the positive side, sending a girl to a school with an "opposite" character may help to change her (to make an assertive girl become more obedient, or to make a submissive girl become more assertive).  But the fear is that the child may not suit the "school style" (and the style of the friends around her).

聖保祿去考，已经有 1/3 机。但真系要加把劲，想当年我女小一，追到有气无‘订’透。恭喜。

twobigeyes

l你誤會啦﹐。聖保祿同聖保羅一D關係都無架 ﹐一間天主教﹐一間基督教。聖保祿去考聖保羅無可能有1/3機會囉。(我諗無一間幼稚園有。。。)

I agree with anxiousparent too!  If the girl is self confident and assertive, go for DGJS.  That's why I always think my girl is a DGJS type.  But on the other hand, I always ask myself, since she's so self-confident and assertive, should I put her to SPCC instead?  Because if she gets in DGJS, it's more competitive and she might fight more to get what she wants.  And at the end, she'll be more stressful.  At SPCC, she'll learn to be more humble and be more well balance.  Of course, she's just accepted by SPCC now, so maybe it's 緣份 too.  

And honestly, I'm not worried about whether she'll get used to the school with the opposite style of herself.  My girl is very adaptive, and esp. for kids, when all the friends around her doing the same thing, following the same way, she'll believes that's the right way.  And since SPCC focuses on 德育, that's what I'm really looking for.
