Hi jimb,

Congratulations! This is my target school (my son is now in K1). It seems that there is not much information about St Francis in this forum.

Frankly, I am attracted by the academic achievement of this school. However, when I talk about this school with my friends, their main concerns are the environment (school campus surrounded by public estates), background of schoolmates (I'm sorry to say this) and lack of sports activities (information from school website).

Can I have your views please?

Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for your reply! I agree with you that the the parents of this school are not very active in this forum

Actually, I am the old girl of St Francis and that's why I let my girl to study in my "mother school". The academic level is good, just like me, I was able to get into Heep Yunn School for my secondary education, In recent years, around 20 girls can get a place in Holy Trinity College. I agree with you that the environment is not very "attractive", yes, maybe there are some students who are from new immigrant's families, But I think the most important thing is that the school can teach the children well. And I have confidence in the teachers of my mother school.

Hope I can share more information with you when my girl study P1 in September.

我都因為自己係舊生,而這間學校派位又吸引,就選擇了它.但係,我發現這間學校既冇校車,又冇褓姆車,現在都未知九月怎上學?放棄好定搬屋好?

Hi Jimb. I am also the old boy of this school. My daughter is K2 now, and i also want her to study in this school. The academic performance of this school during my time (afternoon school at that time) was good. Many of my classmates including me obtained offers from Band 1/famous brand secondary schools.

I also agree with your viewpoint that this school knows how to teach students. 校風 vs family background of students? My choice is definitely the former. If the top priority of choosing a school is the family background of students, then parents with this selection criteria can consider 哈羅香港國際學校.

Hi pongpong.lau,

Nice to meet one more old boy here. I think why parents are concerned about the family background of schoolmates is definitely not because parents are biased against kids who come from grass root families. It is only because experienced parents tell us that kids will be affected by their peer groups rather than their beloved parents, especially when they grow up day by day.

I know a person who is very smart, much smarter than me. However, I have a much better career/life than him. Once, he told me his story. Starting from primary school, he had outstanding academic achievements. He was particularly good at sports and mathematics. At that time, he had 3 good friends, all boys. After studying Form 3, all of his friends became打金學徒so that they can support their families at once. One of his schoolmates was encouraged by his parents to fix buses at a bus company so that the whole family can ride on buses free of charge. This smart guy then decided to quit school at once so that he can also “earn money”, just like his friends. Now, he is an office assistant, though still very smart.

This is what parents scare the most.

No bias, only worries.
