As I intend to come to Sydney for my boy starting school at 2013 (kindegarten), prefer the area near Hurstville, but many people says Hurstville Public has too many Chinese (almost 95%), the learning environment just like HK! Some suggest Beverly Hills North Public, can anyone kindly advise more on this school or other suggestion? I choose this area because I will be the only one to take care my son as my hubby is still working in HK, where my relatives are living in this area. TKS FOR HELP!

wiiabcd,
Tks for your advise! That means no need to consider about the nearby area of Hurstville?
Do you heard about Connells Point Public? By the way, some friends suggest Artarmon Public, with oc class but have quite many chinese already, how you think? As i am brand new about kids education in Sydney, really need the experienced mummy's precious advise.

其實選擇小學真是一門大學問, 和 HK 一樣要四處打聽.

有 OC class (5-6 年級) 的學校最受歡迎, 唐人一定多.
西人多的學校, 成績又未必好. 但就一定讀書開心無壓力.
Hurstville 附近也有這些學校, 要視付你住哪裡.

Connells Point PS is quite popular and many people say it is good.
Artarmon PS is also popular and there are many Chinese there because there are OC Classes.
Near Hurstville, there is also Carlton PS and South Hurstville PS.
Two or three stations next to Hurstville, there is Mortdale PS, Oatley PS, and Oatley West PS which have lots of 金髮藍眼 people. 有外國 feel.

The Oatley area is a place where many professional people live, like doctors, lawyers, accountants and rich people, so the kids there will be quite well-behaved.

North Sydney has the best primary and high schools, but the houses are very expensive.

Dear wiiabcd,
thanks for your great information. You are right, finding a school for children is really a big job now in
Australia, competition is very high where Chinese are gathered. My point of view is more concentrate on his moral and happinese than academic. May I ask for your opinion if you will chose one of those school, as they are recommend by some friends. But as you said, when academic is good, behaviour is.....

1. Hurstville Public (oc class)
2. Artarmon Public (oc class)
3. Connells Point Public
4. Truscoot Street Public (North Ryde)
5. Beverly Hills North Public (from your info, I m afraid will not consider la!)

Very happy to know you here, thanks for your time to me!

Hi~~REGAL123

其實讀邊間學校是要看你住哪區, 小學是不能跨區, 除非有特別原因or朋友借地址.
若是要我選擇讀哪一間小學的話, 我一定不會選設有OC的學校, 因為他們的成績那麼出眾, 全是補習社的功勞, 同現今的HK一樣K型

.要真正學習和享受讀書的過程, 我會選擇 No OC school or 天主教小學.
你有沒有想過天主教小學? 學費其實不太貴, 屬私校的一種,很多普通家庭也能夠負擔, 每年約 A$1,200.00, 分3個term交, 每個term是10星期+2星期Hoilday. 大部份是西方人+ 一些HK人+ 少少少大6人. 讀書環境及校舍都是 very nice

下次再談........

這校並沒有甚麼不好, 亦不是出於小朋友的問題,只是那些唐人怪獸家長和直昇機家長, 校內絕不似 HK 教育, 又很難發現有 HK 姓氏.

唐人之中有部份是湖南湖北人,上海人,難民......之類的佔多. 閒談的話題便是補習學校, 精英中學, 考試成績等. 更甚者在 kindergarten 已上補習班做功課, 恐怕自己的孩子趕不上成績, 在這樣學習環境中成長, 補習已是指定的動作.(只是這間學校的家長咁黐線, 其他學校沒有) 望子成龍之風也.

到了 year 2 已有近半補習了, 學校也知道有這種風氣, 課堂上所教的東西已有半數同學已懂 (因為去了補習, 一早學識了.) 他們便在堂上搗蛋不留心, 想學的同學被受到騷擾, 老師不能集中精神去教.

校內設了精英班(叻), 混合班, 普通班. 唐人自然打穿頭都要搶一席位啦

因為入到精英班又多了機會入OC (原校升讀), 入了 OC 又大機會上一級精英中學. 這就是尖子攻略了, 亦都是為什麼多人入讀這間學校的原因之一.

In sydney, you would need to live in a particular area to be able to enroll in a particular public school. I have taught extra-curricular activities at over 20 schools in Sydney. I quite like the kids at beverly hills north. The other school you could consider would be st. Declan's. Good luck with finding a school .

Thanks for all the kind advises!

Vcmvcm, regarding North Beverly Hills Public, do u think high proportion of Indian n Chinese will affect the learning environment?
On the other hand, is Catholic school also has boundary restriction for enrollment?
Thanks!

睇左之後笑了出來,其實唔止這間學校有這些怪獸家長,應該說多中國人的地方就會有這些家長,我囡囡間學校都是這樣,個個都係由 Year 1 & 2 已經開始補習,阿女而加Year 5都無補習,別的家長就當我這個家長係怪獸咁睇,成日覺得我有問題咁,再加上平日的對話,全部都離不開 OC & Selective....邊間補習社好....等等, 其實我都希望囡囡考到 selective,但我覺得唔係咁補法就一定可以囉,整到所有學習風氣都變質了!

wiiabcd 補習費太貴, 有錢都拎去參加課外活動.

Ha~Ha~Ha~ 大6人就是那麼可笑, 這裡的 OC 學生一星期去四間補習社再+2個私人補習老師教做補習社功課.問你死未?

另外2個大6 friend, 佢地俩個女讀 Beverly Hills North P.S 為了入selective, 年年爭第一, 兩家反面, 到最後2個都好彩考到, 大家都 friend返. 其中一個一星期去3間補習社再+2個私人補習老師教做補習社功課.
這種故事多不勝數.

其實我唔反對補習既,如果小朋友真係有咁既需要,但要適可而止,唔係話越補得多就越好,唔知點解而加既讀書風氣就係咁,無計!

舊年我囡囡Year 4亦有考OC test, 有位家長竟然語帶雙關同我講:"其實學校既校長唔贊成個個都去試考OC,個個都諗住唔駛錢咪試考吓囉...有些人無補習既,都話要去試考吓,邊度咁好運架...."

當時我諗,係咪補習就一定考到先? 唉....話不投機少半句,但今年這個媽咪既囝囝都考唔到佢心目中既頭3間selective,結果waiting入到第4間selective,這個媽咪竟然喊左出黎,因為佢地投放左好多好多資源落個仔度,希望佢個仔考到 Sydney Boy,佢個仔 Year 1就已經開始補習了! 再講返我囡考OC, 結果只係考到 waiting list 排第6位,當時這位媽咪又有說話講,"唔知今年OC係咪好淺呢,個個都話考到既...."

咁我女結果都無入到OC class,因為叫後補位時叫到第2位就停了! 點都好,我當初個女試考OC,我只係想知個女既程度去到邊,有咁既結果,我已經滿足了,因為我地無去補習!

所以有時好怕同這些家長溝通!
