Total places × 20%, EDB minimum
Statutory half minus actual
Number = actual CA places minus statutory half. Positive = DP not filled, remainder to CA; negative = DP used more than half.
2019–2026 每年自行階段都收足並超出法定配額,統一派位嘅學額因而少咗,缺口通常 5 個左右。 The shortfall is due to legacy (unrestricted places) exceeding the 30% cap, or retained repeaters, which are indistinguishable. But Points System places are unaffected – Category B has a 20% floor.

Parent commentary
Parent commentary and interview notes below are summarised from Chinese-language forum sources and are shown in the original Chinese. Ask the AI assistant in English for a grounded summary of any of it.
聖若瑟小學口碑為嚴謹進取的傳統名校,功課壓力早年較重,近年初小趨緩但高小仍高要求。插班競爭激烈,面試重視誠懇自信。資源豐富,英文語境佳,適合追求學術卓越、能承受壓力的家庭。
校風嚴謹,成績進取,管教嚴格,但近年透明度高,公開表揚優秀學生,小六時校方務實支持學生專注呈分試。
早年功課繁重,假期有指定作業,評估頻繁;近年初小功課量可接受,高小要求高,小一至小四無排名,小五小六呈分後告知banding。
面試由老師或主任篩選,校長進行第二輪,重視對答誠懇自信,叩門通知迅速,插班面試由校長及主任單獨見學生。
插班報名即可考試,但近年競爭激烈,低年班收生少,疫情後名額曾增加,小五插班需留意網站,25分舊生不保證收。
教學語言安排清晰,英文用於數理,資源豐富,舊生贊助多,畢業生英文口語能力佳,升英中有優勢。

Special Educational Needs (SEN) support
學校對SEN學生態度正面,有接納個案,但支援資源有限,主要依賴教師關愛及家長配合。部分家長反映學校對SEN學生寬鬆,但亦有欺凌事件處理不當的負面評價。
