gt143, 你係咪22號面試?祝你成功! 其實測驗題目所謂"深"只不過係無咁直接,有時題目會出得tricky些,比多些思考的空間小朋友,而非一味死讀書,我個人覺得都幾好。 而且測驗成績唔會直接寫落成績表度,如果小朋友在接著下來的考試努力一點,也可以把成績追上的。 |

i was a student at SHCC from p1 to f2. i can still remember, my p3 english history text book was exactly the same one that my p4 sis's studying in st clare. we shared one book that year. that's what i want to raise out... SHCC's standard is really high; but it's easy to kids at all. anyway, i admit that a well-based education good for a lifetime! it's worth. tigerboy |

Hi Ms.ChanChan Thanks for the clarification. I understand the a.m. school is still a traditional type of school. Sometimes traditional schools (in general) put too much focus on the academic side & examination. This will put pressure on the parent & student & the whole learning process will become mechanical training on exams & score/grade orientated routines. Besides, school regulations sometimes are too strict which may not still applicable to the current situation. I'm not sure the real situation of SHC a.m. school & its not fair to put any personal comment. Any sharing on this subject? How about the new Principal (Sister Tsim)? Any positive changes noted or do you find its difficult for any new person to influence a school with a very long & strong history & tradition (145 anniversary)?? Maybe Ms.ChanChan & & 東京mewmew can share more on both the am & pm session. Both are good school but they are not alike in many aspects. I understand Principal Sister Wong (with good leadership) of pm session has implemented a lot of positive changes which proved to be very successful over the last 2 years. :lalala: :lalala: :lalala: |

gt143, 我試下答下你問題 :- 1. 我自己個人覺得反而傳統學校無新進的地區名校咁pushing同埋無咁過份著重學業成績。 2. 校規係咪過嚴我諗個個人的領受或睇法唔同,不能一概而論。 3. 就聖心am而言,上述兩點我個人覺得是不存在的。 我反而覺得學校近年致力減輕學生的考試功課壓力,以下為其中某些例子 :- a. 考試全年2測2考 b. Science科延遲至小三才開始教授 c. 默書減少至一個星期只有一次(e.g. 今個星期默中文,下個星期默英文) d. 功課以我女兒現讀小三為例,一日平均只有三至四樣功課。 至於校規,都現在為止我覺得最"嚴"的就是要長髮的要鬢辮(要我一早花10分鐘幫個女鬢辮真係幾煩),唔可以梳馬尾,其他我真係唔覺有咩特別。 詹修女正式成為am的校長只有短短兩個多月,要談論她的"政績"未免過早,但我個人覺得她比較親"民"(我自己及女兒的感覺),致力推動課外閱讀風氣,增加學校的透明度等等。 |

Happy Bee, Can you kindly let me know your experience? Last year's interview - your daugther was interviewed by Headmaster or Teacher? 1 to 1? What are questions? Kindly let me know by return or send me e-mail at [email protected]. Thanks in advance. HappyKid |

Happy Kid, I'm sorry ;-) that I can't give any information about the interview becasuse my daughter was Sacred Heart K/G student, so there was no need for her to attend any interview. Anyone can answer Happy Kid's questions? HappyBee |

Ms Chan Chan, I agree with your points very much. One more example for the 3rd point is that instead of using the English Textbook of P2 (Book 2A) in P1 classes as in the past, they teach Book 1B in the 1st term of P1 and then Book 2A in the 2nd term. It's more reasonable. Concerning your point :Quote:至於校規,都現在為止我覺得最"嚴"的就是要長髮的要鬢辮,唔可以梳馬尾,其他我真係唔覺有咩特別。 As far as I can understand the difference is that when a girl wearing a long pony tail shakes her head, her hair may hurt other's eyes, or even her face/eyes in case the movement is sudden or the weather is windy, which I had experienced with my daughter's pony tail before. So, I guess this regulation is set for the sake of safety. :-D HappyBee |

happybee, 我明白 ;-) 不過我嫌麻煩o者! 呢d係我個人問題其實唔關校規係咪太嚴事囉! |

Hi MsChanChan & Happybee Thanks for the sharing. I'm speaking the general impression of traditional school & not SHC in specific. That's why it better to ask parents of the school. I fully agree on what you said about the aggressiveness of other not so famous schools nowadays. Its scary!!! Happybee I believe your girl is in am school & hope the transition to primary went well for both of you. Any problems you or your girl encountered in the first month or weeks? How much homework per day in terms of subject? They have pretty big class group of approx. 44 students, teachers (not their fault) seem quite difficult to pay close attention to each student due to the size. This is one of my concerns, any comment. Ms ChanChan (& other SHC parents), please feel free to share as your girl is in P.3 Thanks in advance. :wave: |

Hi SHC P.M. session parents Would the SHC pm school parent please share the "small-class-teaching" of pm session. Any areas (for instance): - Effectiveness; - Student participation; - Student learning motivation & initiation; - School provides adequate/necessary resources to support; - Kids performance at home; - Confidence building; - Social ability, language (Eng & Chinese) or presentation ability; - or you name it, etc. Many thanks. :lol: :lol: |
