Parent answer bank
Why do you choose 聖安當小學?
We are not choosing 聖安當小學 only for reputation. We value the signals around Justice: fairness, equity, Sincerity: honesty, truthfulness, Diligence: hard work, effort. At home, we support reading, self-care and polite conversation, and we are ready to work with teachers to understand our child's needs.
How will your family support the school?
We will respect the school's language, religious or cultural background, keep stable routines at home, build reading habits and follow up early if teachers identify a support need.
What makes your child a good fit?
Our child is still growing, but we see progress in curiosity, sharing, listening and completing small responsibilities. We hope 聖安當小學 can help continue that growth.
How do you prepare if the child feels nervous?
We avoid memorised long scripts. We practise short self-introduction, picture talk, situations, listening instructions and polite recovery phrases.
