4. Three things the numbers say
- Thirty-five secondary schools against 33 primary (+6.1%). Five districts have more secondary than primary schools: Southern, Kwai Tsing, Tuen Mun, Yau Tsim Mong and Sha Tin; the other 13 have more primary schools, and Southern is the only one on Hong Kong Island.
- Eighty-three private schools make up 62.4%, and the 6 private independent schools tie with Sha Tin for the most in Hong Kong; ESF runs 3 schools here, level with Central and Western and behind only Kowloon City’s 5. Canadian International, German Swiss, Singapore International, HKIS, ISF and Victoria Shanghai all sit in the district.
- Aided schools number 36 (27.1%) and there is exactly one government school, a primary school; with no government secondary school in the district, that route means travelling out, the reverse of most Kowloon districts.
5. Getting around the district
Main MTR stations: Ocean Park, Wong Chuk Hang, Lei Tung and South Horizons on the South Island Line, with buses and minibuses for Aberdeen, Stanley and Repulse Bay. Door-to-door travel between a school and a lesson usually stays under half an hour; when a timetable leaves only one free hour, an online lesson beats crossing stations.
Fix the school station first, then the tutor station, and only then look at travel time: inside one district the difference between stations can reach twenty minutes.
